Big old companies, lol, love them, but try to communicate sometimes -- brick wall. Wholly synthetic oil of jasmine will never smell like jasmine, IMO. They just can't do it, or it would be big news, and every big company, looking to cut costs, would be buying it. I'll try to find out more.

No kidding! Nice to meet you, and thanks for the info. on the butaflors. I have to mention... some of the first quality oils I checked out were yours. Here's a 13- year overdue thanks, then, for providing what served as benchmarks for me at a time/ place when chaos reigned (but was waning) in the world of essential oil marketing as I encountered it (Seattle, 1992). I think YOU wrote/co-authored the essential oil safety book I made some reference too - picked it up from a bin at the U.W. professional textbook store for a deal, seemed like well researched information. Hey - any avid sniffer of all things aromatic is OK in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, I have no idea who most of the folks are here either, but I'm having fun, learning a lot myself. There is a great deal of collective experience here, as well as inspiration and willingness to share. Thank you Anya, for all you have done and are doing.
