Guest guest Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Your list of hydrosols is astounding. I will have to try cardamom and cacao, not to mention raspberry, spruce, and wild carrot. Pawpaw! WOW. Might you be selling roasted pecan at some point?

I also use them to spray my hair for a little lift. I really like the woodsy smell of blue spruce and I will spray that on my face sometimes when its getting late and I am getting tired but I have to go out for some reason. It gives me a little boost and wakes me up. Lemon balm is another favorite of mine. A tablespoon in iced tea is good, or even in steamed milk for bedtime.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 My favorite is myrtle hydrosol, it takes wonder on the skin. I purchased rose centifolia and frankincense hydrosol from a german supplier, but at this day I never use it in a perfume, but I will try it next, it seems it makes perfume cloudy. Take care, Thérèse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just made an eau de cologne which called for water; I used lavender water. Adding water to alcohol causes cloudiness as a matter of course. I read here that some time in the fridge will clear it up. I don't mind the cloudiness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
