Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 > Hi Alfred, You are always mentioning the names of botanicals I (a novice) have never heard of! What is nargarmotha like? And Osmanthus which you mentioned in an earlier, what is that like? I have never smelled either. Ruth Hi Ruth couldn't help chiming in Nagaramotha (Cyperus scariosus) is an oil which is said saris are perfumed with.... seeds from the cyperus a sedge plant... aroma dry woody, earthy with a hint of cinnamon, cedar and frankincense. Osmanthus Osmanthus fragrans native to China..............delicate fruity floral aroma .... sometimes described as Jasmine with plums or apricots.. Absolute usually prepared from the gold orange flowers ..... they range from silver to white abs v expensive $4000.00 per kilo. Over 30 different species chinese make jam from its flowers ok back to bed....:-) cough sniff Janita --------------------------------- All new " The new Interface is stunning in its simplicity and ease of use.

My grandmother grew Osmanthus in her yard in North Carolina. The blossoms smelled only in the cold winter time. The fragrance was far reaching and a sweet floral scent with a hint of citrus & spice have since seen osmanthus used as tea in Chinese stores.
