Introduction and Question

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone, I'm Tyler Rose. I've been making natural perfume for 4

years and am happy to be amongst so many like-minded souls in this

group. My question is about diluting absolutes. I've read the achives

and it seems there are two camps: those who do and those who don't

(Mandy Aftel being one of the latter). I've always tinctured absolutes

from between 7-25% but am wondering if I haven't sacrificed fullness

and staying-power for subtlety and cost? I'm about to embark on a new

line of " extrait " perfumes and think this issue is central to their

composition. At the risk of revisiting an old topic, I'd appreciate

anyone's new thoughts on the subject. Thanks.
