OK. Thanks Butch and Marilyn. I had it right all along. But since I

thought Butch's 3 statements were related, they were confusing me.

 

I'm un-confuzzled now. :-)

The above statement is one of the bits of data you will find in Plant

Aromatics .. the results of such scientific tests are reported to the

International Fragrance Research Association .. a clearing house for the

compilation of safety data on oils. This DOES NOT MEAN you will have a

problem with use over 3% - just means it has not been PROVEN safe over

that dilution.

Same here .. just trying to show that it is VERY INTENSE/CONCENTRATED!

A 5/95 dilution has more EO than a 2/95 dilution .. yep!

 

One has 5 parts EO/95 parts carrier ...

One has 2 parts EO/98 parts carrier ...

 

But the above three statements are not related .. one is related to safe

use - proven safe use. The other two are concerned with the fact that a

little dab'll do you .. ;-p

 

I prefer my Bourbon around 90 parts Bourbon and 10 parts Branch Water.
