Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 I hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend! Its been a typical Sunday in August here - lots of sun, heat and humidity. I spent some time in the garden. I've cut back my spearmint patch which has gone into " summer funk " mode - where it gets all straggly, ucky and pathetic. A quick once over with the weed wacker does the job though. It'll be all budding, lush and bountiful again in a matter of weeks. I'll be getting ready to weed, mulch and plant some veggies again soon - like carrots, beets, a new round of onions, etc ... Anyway - I have Jasmine on my mind. My Jasmine sambac plant is flowering again and I just got a lovely sample of Jasmine grandiflorum absolute from a distiller in Egypt. The scent of the J. grandi absolute is so much different that the scent of the J. sambac absolute. It's so much softer and " round " to me. The J. sambac has more " edges " to it IMO. I decided to play around with it a little bit and right now I am diffusing a blend of J. grandi absolute, Chocolate absolute, Grapefruit and just a touch of Patchouli .. its really nice! *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sambac is the dark, dusky sister of the virginal grandi, so yes, " edgy " would be a good way to describe " her " ;-) More carnal, more sensual. Enjoy!

Could it be you're inching towards becoming a perfumer?! I'd add a bit of pepper, and some cedarwood, and put it in some alcohol and dab it on myself, 'cause I figure, why waste it on the air, when it can be making some alchemical magic on my skin and the aura around me? http://naturalperfumery.com The premier site on the Web to discover the beauty of Natural Perfume " The Age of the Foodie is pass & #65533;.
