Ziggy is a straight shooter....If she has what you're looking for,

you couldn't spend your money in a better place.....

Folks, if you haven't tried floral waxes, prepare yourself for a most

pleasant surprise when you do.....

As mentioned, they are a byproduct of the absolute process......that is,

a concrete that's been washed with alcohol......there's still a lot of

fragrance in them...

They don't dissolve in alcohol so well....because they've already been

through that....I figure to get a number of different ones, and then

melt two or more together.....

Liberty does charge for their samples.....in most cases, but not all,

it's a minimal charge....

I've always used them as a baseline source.....

Example....Rosewood.....

Yeah, I know.....it's one of those oils that is greatly endangered.....

The Rosewood I got from LNP...was...well....mediocre at best.....didn't

smell at all like the descriptives I've read....

Then I got some from Butch....

A quantum jump in difference...

I have no doubt that the Liberty Rosewood was real......but 'tis a night

and day difference...

The NP list has a superlative group of expertise laced throughout

it....and they are willing to share their expertise...

I also think the moderators (and of course the list-mom) do an excellent

of keeping it civil and articulate....EOs, absolutes, etc., can be

passion generating.....and, well, they are.....straight to the limbic,

you see.....

I don't think the NP list should be the generator of a Black

List.....for a number of reasons.....

I do think members should let other folks know about

" interesting.....<G>... " experiences.....

Both bad and good....

OK.....done blabbing.....I have some garnets I have to go over......

BTW....if anyone thinks the natural fragrance essences are strewn with

landmines (and yeah, they are)....gemstone stuff is absolutely

insane....
