I also love the scent of yuzu. > > God Bless You & Yours, > Georgia (HAHAGRANNY) Georgia- Thanks for asking. I just got a fabulous shipment from White Lotus, but unfortunately the Yuzu was misplaced and is shipped to me separately and should arrive soon. I will let you all know how it turns out! As a side note, though, it's my first time ordering directly from (ordered before as part of co-op buys, so I didn't deal with him directly, just enjoyed the goods). He is so pleasant to deal with and has an excellent customer service. It's so important to have good and reliable suppliers, but even more so do business with nice people who really care about what they are doing and selling! and Suzanna sent me, along with my order, two solid perfumes of his, Winter Solstice (a coniferous and spicy, but in the most wonderful possible way rather than another cliche on the topic) and Chai Masala (very similar to spice tea). I don't know what he used for the base, but the consistency of the creme parfums was a bit like a smooth, buttery salve, feeling quite indulging to smooth on the skin. Woudln't mind a body butter with that consistency either I am very happy with the essences I received from White Lotus - I am particularly smitten with the Kewda attar, Jonquille absolute and the Carnation absolute. I added the carnation to a carnation soliflore I am working on and it really added that fresh, sweet, slightly green true carnation to the composition, so I am very pleased! (It smells awfully different undiluted though, very green and almost powdery, hard to recognize it as carnation at all) The patchouli absolute is very interesting as well, a completely different aspect of patchouli and something I am looking forward to experimenting with. I am starting to really love patchouli - they can be so rich and different from each other! The Indian tuberose absolute is also very lovely. It's a bit gentler than the one I got last time. It's semi-solid in a waxy way, and has some green tones. I really like the tuberose from Eden, which is the creamiest I've ever smelled (from Mexico), but sometimes I like to have the more heady tuberose with the slightly green tinge to it. The ylang absolute is quite fantastic too, rich, full bodied and fruity. A bit similar to the concrete I got from Aftelier, but different of course (without the butteriness of the concrete). Ylang is another note worth exploring and comparing different sources and when you get a good one, it's really good! (I am not a ylang born fan, by the way). Happy New Year!
