with the fixative properties of a base note. It has the ability to marry

the top and base notes together with a sweetness and ethereal funkiness I

love. The bee goo oil infusion has an unusual cinnamic note to it that

intrigues me, but I haven't made a solid perfume with it yet, so I don't

know how it will perform in a blend. On the skin, however, the cinnamic

note is quite a surprise, since my alcohol tincture was made from the same

I am following the Bees wax thread and I was wondering if these tinctures

are made out of passion for experiences or if maybe the absolute of bees wax

from France was not known overseas.

It is much more practical to use for blending.

I do purchase the beeswax absolute --but it is expensive. And there

is a lot of variation in the different absolutes I have purchased.

I am doing it because it is inexpensive and for the experiences. I

just have to add that I am also tincturing because of all of the raves

about it --who wouldn't want to experience what , Anya, Gail, Ylva

and all are?

It is definitely fun and rewarding!
