Wow,

Aphrodisiacal, god-send, and luscious berry scent all in one post. I

would have never thought of that description either. I have been

visiting this oil quite often. I like it and think that it offers

something unique, but it is not my favorite new oil by a long ways.

Anyway, I am happy others are having fun with it. And I am going to

use it in a new solid perfume (along with 'normal' Lavender absolute,

Lavender eo, Neroli, Petitgrain Bigarade, CO2, Sandalwood,

incense, Geranium, Ylang, etc., etc). so I will see how it plays

with the other oils in the formula...

I heard back about the plant parts used to extract the Lavender

Seville Absolute. Here is from the folks who extract it:

" Will, Lavender ieri Spain, the parts of the plants used are the

top floral stems. I believe there must be some tiny bits and pieces

of leaves but the bulk part of the raw material is flowers. "

Oh well, I guess my intuition about the herbaceous parts being used

was not entirely correct. (Good, now I do not have to change my web

site and price list.)

I would be very interested to see, touch and smell the actual plant

and the flowers on this species of Lavender...

I guess this topic is cooked for now. Let me know privately (anyone)

how to describe this oil aromatically. It has been a hard one for me

to describe in words.
