I*ve been just busy. I*m trying to put a small business together. Too many talents, not one defined nor refined! I have been making a lot of the cédrat oil and tincture. The oil has to be stabilised with equal amounts of alcohol, because it is perishable. So I call it *cédrat 100*. I would do the same to any EO that I*m afraid of loosing to rancidity, but that applies only for making alcohol based perfumes. I blended something that you would have smelled walking through the harems of king : cédrat 100 from Cyprus frankincence & myrrh from Somalia rose otto from Turkey as if it didn*t smell good enough I added ambergris tincture from Yemen and civet tincture from Ethiopia. Then waited two weeks before spraying it out. Don*t do it. It is out of this world! n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This creation sounds seductive, intoxicating and absolutely decadent! I would also like to put my order in for your " Harems of King " perfume.

The place seemed to have been closed down for at least ten years. The town is loaded with soap and perfume shops. There will be soon, I was told, quite a few perfumery related businesses for sale in Grasse because the baby-boomers are getting ready to retire. Grasse is as you know a perched town on a hill and since the mimosa was 2 weeks behind schedule, the first smells you get when you drive up are those of car exhaust until you reach the top of the hill where the perfume businesses are and right at the very first traffic circle you smell McDo which is opposite from Galimard Perfumes. I visited some antiques shops with lots of perfume related articles and even some old perfumer organs. For lunch I had a pissaladière which is an onion tart with black olives and anchovies and a beer, because it was a very warm day at around 22°C/ 72°F. I never had a bad time travelling in the southern part of France. I also like to spend Mondays in Nice because of the antiques market in the old town instead of the daily produce market. I always have a fabulous time in what used to be an Italian town until 1860. I got a few new leads which means I will be going back there soon. n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does it take for someone outside the EU to go into business there. No, it won't be me, but hey, I can dream! Mar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a person with the means, who wishes to consider buying a cedrat grove and producing the EO, or at least contracting out for it. My emails to your addy don't seem to make it to you.

Any chance that with a future visit you might be able to take some pictures of these articles? It would be lovely to see them, since they are so rare and so many of us have never had an opportunity to visit Grasse.
