Egyptian Essential Oils, Herbs and Incense

[Guest guest]

I loved reading your musings Chris and it took me back to Egypt where

the marketplaces are filled with the smell of incense. There are

baskets full of it everywhere (sold by the pound) and it is SO

wonderful. Same with herbs and spices. Vanilla beans, which are so

spendy here, are plentiful and very inexpensive.

 

The " perfume " in Egypt is actually 100% essential oils. We went to a

perfumery and I bought the most heavenly Sandalwood (my long time

fave) at just $30 USD for 2 ounces. Rose and jasmine are the same

price! Since I don't make my own EO's, I bought enough to last 'til my

next trip.

 

Thanks for the memories!

Hi Michele,

Just wondering, do they use the perfume neat.

Thanks Michele,

Just curious, I'm wondering why we import so many exquisite oils from around

the world, the countries themselves use the oils neat and we dilute them.

Were you surprised to find them being used neat?

 

Personally, when I make a perfume of Myrrh, Frankensense, Sandlewood,

Benzoin, and a few other beautiful woodsy EO's, I wouldnt think of diluting.
