introduction

[Guest guest]

Hi there,

My name is and I have been involved in topical herbal remedies

for many years in a very basic way. I have some knowledge of common

ESO's and Aromatherapy and have very recently developed a keen

interest in natural perfumery. It all started about 12 years ago when

I discovered an extreme sensitivity to many chemicals present in

everything from shampoo to hand lotion to cleansers. Even the very

basic chemicals are irritating to me and " perfume " as I thought of it

was out of the question. Synthetic fragrance is repulsive to me.

I've made my own body and bath product since then with little

exception and have transitioned to cleaning my home with mild, natural

products that I mix up in my sink. My herb cabinet is crammed with

jars of infused oils, herbs and various " potions " as my husband refers

to them. However, I've always envied ladies who could wear a favorite

fragrance, and recently decided to take the plunge, and make the

investment in a modest collection of what we refer to as " smelly good

stuff " . I now need a bit of direction in order to put what I have to

the best use, and to find inspiration and, of course, safety data is

of the upmost importance. I eagerly await any info that might come my

way. Thanks! in TX
