I stopped using rosewood and now use Ho wood. It is not endangered as

far as I know. I use one from Mountain Rose Herbs who says it is from

China. I don't find it to be as soft and floral as rosewood. I have

heard of linalool oil and have looked for it but have not found any.

Anybody know of a supplier in the US?

Have you tried kwspecialties.on.ca? They have reasonable prices on

EO's as well. They don't specifically list where their EO's are from

in the print catalogue, but I'm sure if one inquires they would be more

than happy to tell us. 30ml (approx 1 ounce) $3.93 They are Canadian.

I have not heard of that supplier. Thank you Very much!

Hi , Wolfnbuffalo and all

Because, of the sea of adulteration that goes on in the EO world... Anya has

created a safe haven for NPrs to purchase in confidence from suppliers here for

anyone who wishes to purchase in confidence. This is a great blessing because

the last thing we want to happen is to find out that one of the precious

ingredients in a perfume that took months to a year or more to compose is in

fact a synth! It happened to me, and I can tell you it is not fun.

So, keeping an open mind... I did jump onto their website and noted they also

sell fragrance materials .. but I don't know anything about this company..

Wolfnbuffalo it sounds as if you have some experience with them ......

do you use them exclusively? Do chime in......

BTW the Guild has a policy to require potential advertisers to meet with

certain criteria for the Thursday ADs..and any potential candidate has to submit

to the Guild.

This area is I feel of particular importance... How can we as Natural

Perfumers create a beautiful perfume without the help of the finest raw

materials? There is nothing quite like it. You will find that many perfumers

have 2 or 3 samples of the same ingredient.... different harvests, different

area of origin, different distillations as each of these give nuances and slight

variations in the scent which helps the perfumer to decide on which delivers the

perception.....

Every good wish, Janita
