I like Petitgrain for that sort of thing. I also have a co-distillation

of petitgrain and orange blossoms that is nice. And a sweet lavender

always brings me up. I know it's supposed to be a relaxing oil, but it

makes me " happy " , not necessarily sleepy, or anything like that. Oh, and

steam-distilled lime, but it might be too sweet for some.

Good show podner .. you have been a great customer and I appreciate it.

I was pulling your leg a bit about the comparison between me and Dumb

Living. ;-p

I'll pass sorta .. though there are some unscrupulous cats around who

pass off what I like to call Near-Neroli .. its stems, leaves and the

blossoms .. but they don't advertise it as such.

 

A good substitute (to me) for the reasons you want to use it would be a

good French or Bulgarian Lavandula angustifolia and/or a Rose Otto (Rosa

damascena). IF you like citrus .. then they will accomplish the job

you want accomplished .. and there are many who swear by Red Mandarin.

Y'all keep smiling. :-) Butch http://www.AV-AT.com

 

PS: Keep in mind that even ONE GRAM of Rose Otto or Neroli will last a

long, long, long, long time.
