Kathy, Cecile, you're not ladies after my own nose. I understand and

work with V & L, but I'm much more the top and floral heart type. Takes

all kinds to make the perfumery world go round, though, and I'm glad to

see you two found a common ground. I've yet to make a successful perfume

with vetiver, so the next few months will see me experimenting with ways

to make it " sheer " and floaty, otherwise, it truly makes me a bit ill!

Ditto, Cecile, we're all noses on the same journey.

New-to-me aromatic delighted me...

Pink lotus wax... GOSH, I can't wait till can get some in so I

can buy some. I'm going to have to hoard it for myself, but ohhhhhh

that's one that surprised me because the absolute is very heavy for me.

The wax. I was in heaven.. <dancing and singing> " I'm in heaven "

okay. now I digress. I guess I'll have to ransack Chris's house soon

so I can get her to pony up with the samples again... YUM my nose is

certainly ready...

I also found the lovely blue lotus concrete from Samara and a

deep, rich flouve absolute.

The coffe flower, though, must be experienced. It is one of the

best florals I have ever smelled.

botane it is soo beautiful... and now I am going to have to acquire some

of that gawjus sounding coffee flower absolute....

Hi Mar,

Galangal can be purchased from fine culinary spice suppliers and

tinctured.

We get fresh galangal at two grocery stores here. One is a Chinese market.

You might check in your area.
