Re: Linden Blossom Abs. (again) -

[Guest guest]

I too obtain a sample of Lin Abs from EB. How many drops of alcohol

did you

dilute this small amt in?

thanks

Oops, I just realized I said 1 'drop' of the Linden. I meant one tiny

melted scrape. Sorry, that isn't exactly a precise measurement that

could help you. But I think with these things we can trust our own

experimental instincts. If you go about things conservatively, i.e,

add less rather than more of an EO when we are experimenting, we can

always simply add more of an ingredient.

When the topic of linden blossom absolute and its dilution came up, I

tried some out too. These past ten days or so, I had forgotten all

about it, though the dilution was among the little vials which I shake

every day. Today reading the posts about linden blossom absolute

reminded me to check it, and indeed...it was amazing. I had tried a

dilution before but got basically the same smell as the full-strength

absolute, and now I understand it was because it was not yet dilute

enough.

This is a wonderful smell!! I used EB linden blossom abs and I would

say that it's more or less as e described it - a tiny melted

scrape with thirty drops of alcohol.

Alfred, if you can get the $$ together, get Arctander's book. Last

year of Renaissance Aromas contacted the publisher and

convinced them to pull the naturals volume out of the three volume

set (2 on synths). It sells for $349. High? Yes. Priceless? Yes. That

is where all the secrets of dilution are, although, oddly, he never

touched upon linden!

http://allured.stores..net/arpeandflmao.html We're proud to have

Allured in the Guild, and the NP community is thankful for them

separating out this volume just for us.

Eden Botanical's LBA is exceptional. Wonderful quality.

Anya, thank you so much for the entreaty to get Arctander's book. And

you know - among the myriad wonderfulnesses of being on this list as a

beginner, is the unselfish guidance that is given to me. So a big

thank you!

A little off topic, but still Linden. I accidently

tipped over a full bottle (125ml) of diluted Linden

Blossom Abs. yesterday. It was on my stainless work

table in the studio, and I was able to scoop it up and

save almost all of it. But I still stink, and so does

my studio!

I love Linden, just not so up close and personal..

I also do a Linden tincture that is quite nice, and

not so messy.

Sorry to hear of your mishap Zz. BTW thanks for your help and tips regarding

tincturing etc. I have not done the gardenia tincture yet. The greenhouse

has shipped my plant )). Not sure if there are any blossoms but eager to

get it and hopefully nuture it for tincturing.

I always feel queazy in my knees when I mess around with the more expensive

oils

kind regards,

Poh Yee

Hi Alfred..

The great thing about this list is the dynamics of having so many

serious, outgoing members. took the step to contact Allured,

many others do lots behind the scenes, so everyone who is proactive

deserves thanks for helping create the Files, Links, etc.

Ouch!!! Sorry about that Zz....I've had a few spills myself and they do

tend to linger. I am glad for you it was diluted...and you were able to

salvage most..Hopefully it will soften to a lofty citrus forest scent in

your studio...a friend called me this morning and said that there is a

saying in Argentina..the best part of life is the illusion....I like the

saying however, personally I think the best part of it is the

imagination...By the way I love Linden too!!
