1st question.....ok...actually several

[Guest guest]

I've been studying away, but have not been able to find the answer to

following questions.

I have a small peice of amber. But according to archives....I

believe it is what you call copal?? It's a nice, tiny,

expensive...lol...little chunk weighing about 5 grams. The name is

Ganesh Amber, and from reading...obviously a resinous chunk, and not

the real thing.

But I still don't understand how to use this little peice of

Heaven?? I would like to make a solid perfume from this. Do I melt

it in a little oil ? How do I know how much of it to use ? It was

expensive, and I dare not do anything, until I think I have at least

half a chance of success.

I have found several different recipes for solid perfume bases on the

internet. Are solid perfume formulas basically variations of each

other? or should some things NOT be done when formulating a solid

perfume base?

Any suggestions, greatly appreciated.
