Go here and you can see what it is and how its harvested and made: http://www.av-at.com/distillation/rosadamascena1.html http://www.av-at.com/stuff/rosedistillation.html http://www.av-at.com/stuff/rosefields1.html There's a big difference twixt Rose Oils and Rose Candles .. I doubt anybody would use Rose Otto in a candle .. or in a herbal soap either. And there's a helluva big difference twixt Turkish Rosa damascena and " most " Rose Oils. But if you generally dislike the smell of Rose .. it means you would probably dislike mine a bit less than the others .. ;-) > Carol in NJ Y'all keep smiling, Butch http://www.AV-AT.com ______________________ ______________________ Message: 2 Mon, 20 May 2002 12:22:47 -0000 " blue_lotus_moon " Re: Rose Otto and Rose Candles Rose makes just about everything better! Even chocolate! I add rose oil to a candle every now and again and it is lovely! Once, I made these little rose votives for a customer who was to give them to a prince's mistress.( that little lucky bitch er girl) I am not bragging, it was a one time thing and the customer supplied the rose oil. I felt so lucky to even make such a gorgeous thing! It is the most precious of all the oils to me. Yes, I will use other oils, neroli is something I like right now, but boy a woman cannot pass up such natural beauty! anastasia http://www.anastasiasideas.com , Butch Owen wrote: > Hey Carol, > > > I hear alot of talk about this Rose Otto. > > Based on the statement below, its probably not as much as you should be > hearing .. ;-p > > > I am not sure what it is but I know I never like the strong > > overpowering scents of most Rose oils or candles.... > > Go here and you can see what it is and how its harvested and made: > > http://www.av-at.com/distillation/rosadamascena1.html > > http://www.av-at.com/stuff/rosedistillation.html > > http://www.av-at.com/stuff/rosefields1.html > > There's a big difference twixt Rose Oils and Rose Candles ..

Can they share a recipe with us, maybe, please? I made a GREAT pumpkin pie with clove oil in it .. but just be warned folks, that clove oil is STRONG stuff, and even one drop in a recipe may be overpowering, so remember to dilute that good stuff before ya add any to the food More can always be added, but ya can't take it away once its in there. *Smile* Chris (list mom) Summer Incense Is Here http://www.alittleolfactory.com > > > Butch the clove sample you sent is very nice too..wow! > > Glad you liked it .. we been cooking with it here. > ______________________ ______________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 21, 2002 Report Share Posted May 21, 2002 Hi Ginger, I had an awful time finding lye when I made my first batch of soap a couple months ago. The neighborhood hardware store finally paid off, but I looked everywhere before people on this list helped me out with that invaluable soaping tip, LOL! Maybe some others will jump in and tell us where they get it in bulk.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2002 Report Share Posted May 21, 2002 Hi Debbie, (All : ), Here in the Denver area I can get lye in bulk at a local chemical supply house .. BUT ya have to have a vehicle with a separate compartment for them to let you take it .. like, they will NOT put it in the back seat of a car or SUV .. they want you to have a pickup truck or El Camino type thing going on. For safety reasons .... *Smile* Chris (list mom) Summer Incense Light Gray Celtic Sea Salts And Much Much More !!!!!!! http://www.alittleolfactory.com > Maybe some others will jump in and tell us where they get > it in bulk. > > Debbie > deb > http://www.bodyhealthcenter.com > Introducing http://www.bhcdecadence.com > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
