I am new to the group=) Have been collecting essential oils and the

like for about seven or eight years... mostly for their medicinal

values. I have really gotten into the perfumery aspect of my

collection in the last year or so. I have a handful of oils that I

have never seen or heard mentioned in the natural perfumery world, and

I wondered if anyone else worked with things like gaia? (hemizygia

petiolata) It has a wonderfully sharp, bright green and fruity note,

and I find it quite pleasant to work with. Blends nicely with atlas

cedarwood and jasmine grande.

Anyone else have any unusual oils? By the way, I live southern

Michigan -- any other perfumers out here in the sticks?

Hi Rose,

I also love unusual oils! I found the Gaia (hemizygia petiolata) very

interesting.

I have some dried Ivory-White Champaka, Pak Lan flower. I have just

infused them with alcohol! The scent is so wonderful! I was completely

inlove with the scent when I held these flowers in my hands.

Rose Oils is not my site, but it looks interesting! I don't know if I

would want to get into supplying oils... although I would love to

start distilling my own. I'd like to do my Christmas tree -- a lovely

douglas fir! Seems like such a waste throwing it to the curb.

I haven't had the pleasure to mingle with any of the oils you

mentioned. I have recently gotten into tincturing. I have orris

root, gum arabic, black copal, and dragon's blood brewing right now.

I can't wait to get my hands on some higher quality (and higher

proof!) alcohol for my tincturing. Right now in Mich, the highest

proof I can get my hands on is 151.
