Vanilla Amber Starter - Another Way To Use Vanilla Beans

[Guest guest]

Over on Anya's uber fantabulous Natural Perfumery group

 

the gal from zzspetals http://www.zzspetals.com/ posted a recipe for an

Amber starter that uses Vanilla Beans.

 

Its basically 8 oz Jojoba with 2 Vanilla Beans scraped and chopped into

it, 2 & 1/2 ml Benzoin and 1 & 1/4 ml Labdanum.

She put a few other pointers out there but you'll have to go and join

Anya's list to see the original post to get the details

 

Anyway .. I played around with her basic ideas there, made it my own,

and I now have a bottle of the nicest darn batch of amber oil accord

aging! Actually 2 bottles as I did one in 190 proof alcohol too.

 

I'm going to use it in incense, soap, perfumes for the body and home ..

but it does have those known sensitizers, so its important folks dilute

the heck out of it and/or makes items geared towards being wash off or

not used on skin.

 

Personally for perfumes, I'm sold on the perfume jewelry thing! I love

it! I spray my pendant and go, smelling like a .. well .. whatever it is

I want to smell like that day! But I also need not worry about wearing a

scent with sensitizing ingredients that way!

Hey folks,

 

I was just poking around in my workroom and came across the bottles of

Vanilla Amber Starter I began back in the beginning of May. Well of

course I had to open them up and give a sniff {grinz}.

 

Wow! They are getting so very nice now that they've had time to really

age! Interesting to note also how in the Alcohol version the Vanilla

scent is a lot more pronounced than in the Jojoba version.
