Guest guest Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Hi Folks, I've been meaning to mention this for some time now ... I got some REALLY lovely samples of tinctured extracts from fellow list member Linda Wallen. Just wonderful stuff that you can't get in EO form - like Strawberry, Apricot, Bluebonnet, Wisteria, etc ... that strawberry that she makes is AMAZING (the others are really great too but the strawberry really just stands out to me). These are perfect for making natural perfume blends when you want those certain scents that can't be gotten in oil form or the oils are cost prohibitive. Linda mentions that she uses them in some of her lotions and creams even. Oh Linda .. come out, come out wherever you are to tell the good folks more about these great creations of yours (I think she might even have them available for sale Anyone else here make their own " scent " tinctures? I know I have a TON of stuff I want to play around with tincturing .. so many things to do, so little time! Have a great weekend folks! *Smile* Chris (list mom) Get Yer Vanilla Concentrate Here http://www.alittleolfactory.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Chris, I make Oak Moss, Jasmine, Rose, Melissa, and several others but my Oak Moss and Jasmine are my favorites. The oak moss will soften has harsh smelling formula and round off its edges. I take the oak moss from the native Texas oak trees and let it set for several years. If you want a sample I will send you some.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 aw shucks, ma'am [blushing] ... thank you kindly for the nice words. I see you've already gotten several responses from folks that also tincture for fragrance. It can be fun! and also frustrating ;o( Some flowers tincture best when fresh (wisteria) others tincture better when dried (rose petals). Others just turn nasty in the alcohol (mimosa). Anyway, I worked with alcohol tinctures, jojoba infusions and coconut oil enfleurage last year to try to capture fragrances naturally. When things start blooming this year, I'll pick up where I left off ... hmmmmm, maybe the apricot blossoms will be as nice as the apricot fruit. I'll try to post a list for the next ad day ... it's " funny " that January has been so much busier for me than it was before the holidays.
