http://esscentualalchemy.wordpress.com/ It's about the process of natural perfuming, ie no synthetic ingredients. FYI Just in case anyone is interested, I'd be pleased if you stopped by.

Thanks Yin It's very spiritual for me, working with these plant materials that have been used for thousands of years, and by such people as Cleopatra It grounds me, and connects me to the Earth. IP: Logged |

Mermaid, quote: My Taurus moon appreciates such sacred acts.
So does mine I'm finding people pleasantly surprised at how emotionally connected they get to a natural perfume! Plus the skin is our largest organ, and it's scary how many chemicals we dump on it during the course of a day. Thank you! IP: Logged |

“Perfume is liquid emotion. A great perfume is a work of art. It is silent poetry, invisible body language. It can lift our days , haunt our nights and create the milestones of our memories.” I love this! ABS, SOOOO cool! IP: Logged |

That's beautiful. I love to make my own scents - which change everyday depending on moods or needs - and when time permits. I loved the Michael Edwards quote too. IP: Logged |
