Wisteria

[Guest guest]

I have searched for some natural wisteria essential oil, absolute, concrete,

tincture

whatever- so far googol searches have only yielded what seems to be some " hocus

pocus "

witchy fragrance oils- is there such a thing as a natural wisteria? is it

available? I have

encountered so much secrecy about ingredients for NP- but I would really

appreciate some

leads for those fragrances which I dream of. Wisteria, Lilac, Sweat Pea ect. -

(my parents

own a flower shop- grew up around flowers- love them- can you tell?)

Oh yes. How many times I out ran the bees in the wisteria (and

sometimes not - ouch).

Take care,

I made a wisteria tincture 2 years ago; it's incredibly light but after the

alcohol evaporates, it's pretty close to the vine the flowers came from. I

also make wisteria flower essence - no fragrance, but very healing. The

vines around here are at their peak right now so I'm going to try to pump up

my existing tincture with some new blooms. I tried capturing the fragrance

in jojoba oil with no luck; and I've never had success with enfleurage.
