Re: Roll Call: What new-to-you aromatic really delighted you

[Guest guest]

Hello Everybody,

I think that there were a few new aromatics that tied for first this

year. My mother gave me an old vial of Bulgarian rose absolute

(gorgeous red orange) in a small carved wooden flask. The flask is

wooden, about three inches tall and 1/2 " in diameter, hand-painted with

a red rose, and the cap is a dome. She found it at a thrift store.

The fragrance is so deep and beautiful. It makes me feel proud to

smell it - all that summer light and life in one small bottle. My

other favorite fragrance was the pineapple sage/pineapple quince

codistilled hydrosol - smells like honey, vanilla, pineapple -

incredibly strong for a hydrosol....It's been a good year.

Much Kindness,

Jess Ring
