i also loved that book, and when i read it i had a whole bed of beets

growing in my garden. i decided to let them go to seed so that i could

see what happened with the pollen. i waited 2 seasons and watched, and

finally the beets produced the seed shoots, and then appeared the

little pollen heads. i was disappointed - nothing. barely any pollen,

and no smell at all. i guess it was just fiction.

ambergris you can find at www.profumo.it; click on the English button,

then click on " special scents " .

i also have it in my shop, but i don't sell it unless customers come

in and twist my arm.

i checked in my customer database, and there have been 23 people who

have come in and created their own Jitterbug perfume. One really

insistant woman got me to order " Dirt " fragrance oil because she was

convinced that would be the authentic oil to use. You should have seen

me trying to keep a straight face! I got it for her; it really smelled

like dirt and she was thrilled with her perfume.

the one i liked best was sandalwood, jasmine sambac, and a very nice

bergamot for the citrus top note. but i'd someday really like to get

my hands on some goat hair tincture that has been discussed here. i

think that would be a great addition.

Arkopharma, a French company, do a pollen CO2, which is very nice,

sweet-floral-soft,

though I don't know what kind of pollen it's made from. They don't do small

quantities.

Maybe could get some??
