One of the first essences I fell in love with..... I can remember the time.. I

was sourcing down at Earls Court London in 98' and a small british company were

offering snifftas..... I sunk my nose into this divine italian bergamot and was

eternally hooked.

You know, I had to laugh because, no, they don't. And no one has ever

asked that of me, except me in my own head. The only time bergamot

smells like the tea to me is when it's diluted WAY down. I used to

make something called Happy Tummy Oil for my friends and loved ones

when they were pregnant - for the stretch marks and all. Anyway, lots

of gals have problems with smelling stuff and getting nauseated. I

found out that a lot of them didn't have trouble with Earl Grey tea.

So I used bergamot in the oil. And diluted way down for the tummy

oil, it did smell like Earl Grey. I'll bet that also, if I were to

add some decaffeinated tea tincture to it, it would smell more like

the tea... (But I don't think I'd do that for the tummy oil - in case

it might not be good for a pregnant mom.)

Cheers!

-- do you mean that oranges are too sour for you? Or just the

limes and lemons? Have you tried key limes? They can be really

sweet. And oh boy -- Valencia oranges are just like candy. Now, I've

never found a sweet lemon... >: *

And yep -- I think of IFRA and have to laugh every time I squeeze a

lime. (Be sure that before you grab for the citrus reamer, you don

your HazMat suit and protective eye wear...) All the while I'm having

a nice little sniffapalooza for one.

Cheers!

I know... totally ridiculous.... they are squeezing (couldn't resist the pun

there lol) out the juice of the top notes ...OTT... yes awareness of phototoxity

is a must but there has to be a leveller....

Yeah, oranges are too sour for me!  I know most people love them and wouldn't be

caught dead without their orange juice with breakfast, but I cant handle the

acid in them.  Not only does it bother my mouth, but it gives me heartburn

too.   I put the lemon and lime juice in some foods, mango salsa being one, but

of course I cant tolerate their sourness.  My god, you should see my brother,

the complete opposite.  He eats lemons like oranges and sour candies by the

tonful.  I'm surpised he doesn't put citric acid on his food like sugar.

And yep -- I think of IFRA and have to laugh every time I squeeze a

lime. (Be sure that before you grab for the citrus reamer, you don

Now that's an image.  I'll have to pull out my hazmat gear everytime I make

mango salsa!

I know what you mean about the clementine CO2.  That was my first reaction to

it.  I also adore tangerine, orange is nice too.

I'm not sure what I thought of the sample that I got.  It definitely had to

diffuse a bit, a little funky at first.  It was ok when it faded a bit.

> if you're talking about the Egypt one.... my initial thoght was it is that the

distillation smelt a little burnt ...... I think it can be worked into something

at some point ..... where I am looking for something a little different thus why

I said different... I smelt one once though like a memorable wine.... sticks in

my mind and still looking for 'the one'
