Guest guest Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012  Hi, Everyone: One of the scents I recall from childhood is the scent that filled the whole house whenever my mother burned tangerine peel on the gas burners of the stove. I recall a sweet, woodsy, scent which changed as the peel burned. Today, I was mixing some scents and was very pleased with the results. Then, I realized that I duplicated this scent of the burning tangerine peel my mother used to make. Right now, I am undecided if this is a masculine or feminine scent.....maybe unisex? Just loving it - can't wait to put it in a bottle (after a few more tweaks) Best to All, Margo Sounds wonderful. I wonder what went into that, how would one duplicate the smell of burning tangerine peel? I had to snicker-I do that kind of thing all of the time; burn aromatic botanicals on the stove! In fact I smouldered lavender the other day. I get too lazy to stoke up my incense charcoal, so I just do it on the electric stove!

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 My father (a perfumer), would burn a sugar cube in a spoon, if the cooking from the wood or coal burning stove contaminated the atmosphere with phenolic by products. These were the days of non aerosol room deodorants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
