Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 Hi Cat, I'm finally getting around to creating a scent you researched for me which includes 12 eo's and fo's. My question is: How do you manage that many scents? Do you have a dropper for each scent and then clean them when you're done? And what do you clean the droppers in that will cut the oil but not leave a residue? Sorry to be a pest, but I don't want to cross contaminate my eo's. Thanks for your help as always, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 I'm not Cat, but thought I could add a suggestion. I buy the plastic transfer pipettes from MMS, I buy them by the 100s, they are only like 8 cents each, and I use them when I am mixing my fragrances. Insures a clean one for each scent so you don't cross contaminate.They are cheap enough to throw away, or you can mark them with the eo or fo and save for later.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2002 Report Share Posted February 21, 2002 Hi : Believe it or not, I use one pipette (not the plastic, but a long glass eyedropper), and rinse it in 91% alcohol in between oils. The only problem I have had is the occasional cloudiness from not letting the dropper dry thoroughly in between uses (shame on me)! Good luck...let us know how the blend turns out! :-) Cat >^-.-^< > I'm finally getting around to creating a scent you researched for me which > includes 12 eo's and fo's.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Hi Cat I'd like to know if there is a way to scent body products with a pomagranite (sp?) scent without using synthetic fragrances. Is there any kind of a blend (using eo's, hydrasols, extracts, or??) that could be used to acheive this scent (or close to it)? BTW, your scent blending site is awesome!!!

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 Unfortunately, fruit scents are some of the most difficult to replicate using essential oils. While orange, lemon and other citrus easily yield their essences for perfumes, other fruits have been more elusive. Off the top of my head, I can't think of a specific blend of essential oils, but you may want to try macerating the seeds and peel in vodka or a bland vegetable oil to extract the scent, which can then be used in your products. In the past, this was a common method of capturing fragrances from flowers and other botanicals that couldn't be distilled. Sorry I couldn't be more of a help!
