touching base/ rose oil went off/ making perfume

[Guest guest]

hey.

 

I'm still amongst the living.

 

Thought I would share... rose oil DOES go off. Very sad but true. I was

making some perfume this evening. I hauled out my bottle of Midas Rose Oil

that I got YEARS ago from Butch. It was a lovely bottle of rose... added it

to my perfume. Tried it on and PEE YEW!

 

Now I don't claim to have a " nose " . In fact it's a distinctly average nose

and when I make perfume, I stick to just a few fragrances. I can't be

bothered to waste oils and my time lingering over failures, semi-successes

etc. I took a bottle of Lilac fragrance oil... I'm in love with the scent.

Added the rose, one drop, and some Sandalwood. Wasted the lilac and the

Sandalwood and the rose... found the concoction to smell betweed rancid and

musty/dusty/moldy. Sniffed the fractionated Coconut... it was fine. Snffed

the Sandalwood, it was bliss and sniffed the Lilac, delightful. Sniffed the

rose and OMG... it STANK. Sighed and threw the whole thing out, bottle and

all.

 

Started again, got a bottle of rose that I got from Janet Golden, also years

ago, but fortunately not TOO long ago and now have a delightful bottle of

lilac perfume with a rosey glow and a sexy underglow of Sandalwood. I added

more Sandalwood and a couple more drops of Rose to it.

 

Howsome ever, It really sunk home that if I didn't want any more of my rose

going off, I am going to have to use it all up soon. That means I'm going to

be out of rose before too long... anyone wanna tell me what the price of

rose is these days? I'm afraid to go look. sigh.

 

Anyway, I'm still here. Much to the dismay of some! LOL!!

I kind of haunt the board know and then just for some interesting reading. My

real experimce and active intersta are wine beer and ethnos. There's a gas used

for wine to store it longer in the bottle that may Serv u guys well it prevents

oxidation check your local wine store. Won't say it will not react with other

chemicals in the oil but it will keep the air off and I'd bet it's cheaper than

some new rose.
