Guest guest Posted November 28, 2001 Report Share Posted November 28, 2001 I am looking for a recipe so I can make a knock-off scent for Coty's L'Origan. My Aunt (mid 80's and still going strong) loves the dusting powder, which is near to impossible to find anymore. So I got the idea that maybe I could make her some. If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it. Thanks bunches, Carol doggone PS- Is it just my computer or is anyone else having problems with ? I logged on several times and it would accept my log on, then request I relog on each time I changed screens in the group. I believe that friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 28, 2001 Report Share Posted November 28, 2001 Hi Carol, Can you describe the scent at all? I'm allergic to synthetics, so if you'd describe it, maybe I can help? Or at least try............ Hugs, Marilyn PS - Don't know about , haven't tried.. another question for you is are you going to be using fragrance oils as Coty is, or going w/essentials? doggone wrote: > I am looking for a recipe so I can make a knock-off scent for > Coty's L'Origan.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2001 Report Share Posted November 28, 2001 L'Origan is described as an oriental floral sweet. It is was produced originally back in the early 1900's. Other than the producers description, I'm lost. I like using essential oils for the healing properties, but I'm not sure what is best for dusting powders. My puter is now working ok on ....Yelling at it must of worked. I've decided computers are male - they only work when they have to. Carol (who is frustrated, tired, and cold (but warmer I think than Chris who has been recorded the last few nights as record highs for the USA on the All New Channel in the 0's. Our low is 10 with a blazing heat wave high today of 30. Bring on the fans and sun screen.) , Marilyn Nicholson <menicholson7@e...> wrote: > Hi Carol, > > Can you describe the scent at all?

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2001 Report Share Posted November 28, 2001 Hi, Ok, that's a start anyways. You can use essentials for dusting powder. Hmmm... oriental floral scent, huh? They do have a website - it's http://www.cotyshop.com, but they don't have that listed on it, however they do have oriental/floral scents there - those seem to have vanilla in them, something or other that would give a musk scent, and probably something sweet. <grin> In aromatherapy, that'd probably tend to translate to vanilla (either absolute or oleoresin, the oleoresin's cheaper, but thicker), angelica eo has a musky scent (expensive, try sandalwood and a drop of patchouli maybe?), jasmine absolute sambac has always struck me out of the jasmine's I have as being the sweeter, yet having the more almost spicy/floral/fruity scent to it, though you could once again, use ylang-ylang as well. Add a small bit of a type of orange eo for uplifting qualities, so far, we've put her to sleep!!!! The base I use and it's a natural one for powder is arrowroot powder. Though if she's used to talc, which she probably is.. you can probably find that either unscented or with a light scent that'll be easily covered. Hope this helps a little? If you do go the eo route, just use a very few drops, less is OK, more you can't take out! You can always add to your blend...............good luck!!!!!!!!! Gosh, I " almost " feel bad sitting here in the warm weather, though I'm not a cold/snow/ice person and it's still in the lower 80's here in the daytime! Sunny and purty too...
