Silly boy, everybody knows the E. coli bacteria is too large to pass through the root hairs of a plant. Ditto the organic matter. Water, cleansing water, that is uplifted through the xylem can pass its characteristics onto the blue lotus, veggies and heck, trees.

To me Blue Lotus can stand on it's own. so I don't usually worry about it getting lost. But for this perfume I am more interested in creating a synergy. I have chosen to go the spicy route, and topped my scent with pink peppercorn orange, clove, a green perilla dilution and a verveine dilution. I have also added a touch of Pandanus (a diluted down version) and based the scent in woods with a touch of vanilla abs, natural musk ambrette, ambergris tincture, butter tincture and a touch of honey abs., set into a 50/50 blend of organic grape alcohol and orris infused alcohol. Liz Zorn Perfume Oh my ZZ that sounds absolutely divine....... I would just love to smell that one.... beautifully transcendent ..... ps it is such an oasis to talk of what we adore amongst these sobering times..... best Janita --------------------------------- The all-new goes wherever you go - free your email address from your Internet provider.

Your creativity with tinctures in particular is very inspiring. Thanks for sharing your ideas-- I do love the idea of spices and also orris with the blue lotus. And the porcini! I have been working on balancing out that wateriness with a little earthiness as well but it is too soon to tell what my experiments will turn up. Also, I love the color of the concrete and have been working to enhance the color. JoAnne mentioned the hydrosol and Eo which I will have to try to find now because they sound so beautiful. And I do agree that this plant seems to carry the spirit of water. Also I was reading about the Buddhist symbolism and I had not realized that the different colors of lotus have different meaning. Blue Lotus is the symbol of intelligence, wisdom, knowledge. White is the state of mental purity and spiritual perfection. Pink is the supreme lotus, reserved for the highest deity. ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ The fish are biting.
