Guest guest Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 http://www.burrenperfumery.com/press1.htm This is a small perfumery in Ireland. Interesting article. I think what they distill is the lichens and mosses that cover the surrounding burren. The rest of the oils are imported. I was there a few years ago - lovely place! enjoy, JenB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I have to write to these people (I'll also invite them to join the group.) Last week I busily organized all my oils. Quite a job. I got 3/4 " white disk labels and with a bold black marker, put the first three letters of the common name of the oil on the cap top. Then the oils went into the plastic shoeboxes according to type -- herb, floral, citrus, etc. There were in the separate boxes before, actually, just not so well labeled. While doing this I came across some " Alpine Lichen " oil I purchased in Berkeley about 30 years ago. Y'all know I squirrel away oils, under good storage conditions, so the oil, about 3/4 gone, was still wonderful. Has a spearmint note to it. It is in a suspension, one oil over the other, so it has to be shaken. Lichens are a symbiotic relationship between an algae and a fungi, so that makes sense. And the label says the perfumer was " " , same name as the man in Burren (just a weird coincidence, but nice.)

I was reading another article on another browser at the same time, and the guy mentioned there was , not in the Irish perfumery article. Skitter skatter go the brain cells......

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 What a wonderful article! Thank you, Jen for sharing it. Makes me wish I were there! Hi everyone. My name is nne and I joined this list a couple of days ago. I'm very interested in learning about natural perfumes. I've worked with herbs and essential oils for well over ten years and it was mostly studying how plants can help us when we're ill, stressed out, etc. This seems like the perfect place to learn about another aspect about plants and essential oils. Blessings, nne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
