Hm. There are so many, but I think that for me the prize is going to

have to be split between White Lotus Aromatics' Frangipani Abs, and

Eden's Labdanum Clear.

Sincerely, Anya

For me, it would have to be the orange flower water absolute sample I first

received..... it bowled me over with its sweet floral delicate perfume and the

scent of the water molecule that was there... it was so vivid I had a vision of

the water molecule in its isolation. It truly took my breath away...

every good wish, Janita

It's not new, per se, but I've been admiring lavender, in various

forms, in new ways lately.

For me it has been the whole (nearly accidental) discovery of this

totally mesmerizing " absolute " -ly natural perfumery concept, group,

and essences.

I am pretty much a lurker, as others seem to answer my questions as

or before they come up. I am still a semi-raw beginner, but have

managed to make some VERY interesting blends, and the more I do and

read the more I want to learn and try. So thanks to all of you, and

my very best fragrant wishes to all in the coming year and beyond.

.... I bought some after that sample and it was completely different ... slightly

burnt.... but even that can add something... but I am after the one I originally

inhaled so.........when you smell something like that the memory kicks in and

you know immediately when you smell that again ... if it is the right one.
