Infuse the oil you use as a base with either the absulute or the liquid resin for a few months, shaking regularly..then make a solid with it.

Please explain exactly what you mean. > Ah, let's see from a quick search the Arctander CD ;-) (plug for the giveaway) Tinctures of Benzoin, Labdanum, Olibanum, Opopanax, Peru, Tolu balsam, etc. are generally prepared from 20% of the natural raw material with pure ethyl alcohol, After proper maceration, the tincture is filtered and aged. Does that help? There's tons more on benzoin in the book/CD, of course. -- Sincerely, Anya Anya's Garden http://AnyasGarden.com - perfumes, aromatics, classes, consultation Natural Perfumers Guild + blog with daily updates http://NaturalPerfumersGuild.blogspot.com 1600+ member Natural Perfumery group - http://health./group// Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I right that that outline is for 20% of _actual_ benzoin, etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
