Guest guest Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 I am totally new to natural perfumery and would like to know what is the difference between Mandarin Green Oil (organic) or let's say Oil 100% (organic/biodynamic). Why is that Melisa oil is 100% and Mandarin Green oil is not 100% ? It is the same with Jasmine. Or to say it another way... with some essential oils it is written that they are 100%, with other it doesn't say anything. Thank you, Spela Quote

The purpose is to provide a more affordable alternative with the more expensive essences. When they specify 100%, they are just indicating that it has not been diluted. Such a designation would not be necessary with something like mandarin which is usually sold at full strength anyway because it's not too expensive.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 " Primavera Jasmine Absolute Egypt (Jasminum grandiflorum; Oleaceae olive family) is obtained from steam distillation of flowers, 4% dissolved in ethyl alcohol. " So how strong is it? Is that kind of Jasmin oil already possible to use as a perfum or should i dilute it with alcohol or some other base oil? thank you, Spela Quote
