fixing eucalyptus

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

I had a request to make a perfume with sandalwood, cinnamon,

eucalyptus, and citrus notes. I added rosemary, cedar, pine,

pettigrain, and a touch of mint, vanilla, and patchouli. I am thrilled

with the outcome with one exception, the eucalyptus vanishes in the

first minute or so. Is this normal or do I have a bad oil? Is there

any good fixative for eucalyptus?

Thanks for the help...... Norm

drop by drop to try and ascertain more longevity..the dry down of the oil always

will be a factor.... check for safety amounts allowable of course LOL..all good

Thanks Janita,I tried that but it opened way to strong. I also played with

changing the eucalyptus/lemon a little at a time for lemongrass, but I got a

room freshener instead of perfume. (it did last though). I think I failed to say

that the one I liked (apart from the poor duration) is a solid perfume. Anyone

have any other tricks to prolong eucalyptus?Thanks..... Norm
