Well.. probably cuz the person who I was blending for liked it? Which isn't

actually my choice, but theirs.......somehow...... I'm really trying to get a

mental picture of you making perfume and it's just not happening ;-p And if

someone else likes the mysore then that's what'll be in their blend. (my

personal preference which doesn't matter when it's not my perfume)

You should've sprayed him w/rose hydrosol ;-p Some of the really expensive

French perfumes are made with Lilly of The Valley, no such essential

oil...........wish there was. Unless you're talking more expensive than I am?

Ex: Chanel #'s 5 - 19.......others that make me sneeze, cough, wheeze, etc's..

looks pretty funny ;p

True enough, and at times you look for purity as in perfumery.......not cat

piss though! LOL I can get that right here, just take away the cat litter!

Yep, still got the guestbook ready to go, if you ever get time to go to the

bathroom, and I remember that post - it's true too... sure hoping you'll get

more big bottles of the oregano dubium that I diffuse! Your oregano's work,

plain and simple. And Heidi's right on the rose oil.

was that the other one's good for perfumery is all - sooooooooo, the pc's

fixed, not fixed, you threw the guy off the balcony...what??????????? Or he's

coming back tomorrow? You know, if you threw him off the balcony, wouldn't they

Yo Marilyn,

 

> TELL me the new and improved <?> Pc repairman didn't ask for a knife! LOL

 

Wasn't new and improved .. was the same college student .. ;-p Here in

Turkey, the students are the most proficient so the companies hire them

to work part time. But proficiency is relative term.

 

> One thing.. I love the sandalwood (mysore) for aromatherapy, BUT, I

> also like the sandalwood WA for perfumery. <ok, lemmie have it!> LOL

 

IF I were making perfume .. unless it was perfume for a person I didn't

really like ;-p I would ensure that it was the finest ... why put

second quality on my skin and run it through my olfactory system?

 

You know that the really expensive French perfumes are made from real

essential oils but most of the stuff at Walmart is synthetic. My not

so new and not so improved PC repairman today had some of the stinkest

crap on that I have ever smelled .. and though it is still cold here, I

had the maid open the windows every few minutes .. ;-)

Good show .. and what does the analysis say? I again point out that

there is a difference twixt purity and quality .. ;-p

OK .. I can understand that. For years, folks used whale vomit, wild

cat and deer piss to make perfume .. in fact, they still do to a degree

though ambergris, civit cat and musk deer glandular oils are generally

synthetic clones now.

 

On my OLD Anatolian Treasures Guest Book .. you know the one you were

bringing back up to snuff when I ran out of time to go to the bathroom

even and had to put it all on hold .. ;-p In that old one there is a

comment dated October 13, 1999 .. from Heidi Feldman, perfume maker and

the ex-owner of the 1Toiletries List. Heidi wrote " I have a few

different variations of rose *oils*... many of them require more than

one drop to appropriately round off a blend... however with Anatolian

Rose oil, *1* drop is all that is needed to round the blend, more than

1 drop of Anatolian Rose tends to overpower the blend. I am extremely

pleased with Anatolian Treasures' oils, (especially the oregano). Your

rose oil deserves recognition! " UNQUOTE

 

Which means to me .. that you gotta go for where you get the most bang

for the buck or the most rubble for the ruble .. and some cat piss goes

further than others .. ;-p

> PS - After today, y'all don't sound like you're smilin..........;-p

with a dang PC repairman .. less'n its all them other folks I mentioned

once before.
