Guest guest Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 I wrote an article on Sudan's rich aromatic culture. The perfumery techniques and the ingredients the Sudanese use, is like a slice from the history of perfumery. Ever used Prunus mahaleb in tincture or the oil? Ever wanted to capture the lovely scent of burning frankincense, and other resins and woods to give another dimension to an incense accord? The techniques used by the Sudanese perfumers gave me the idea for " Scented smoke enfleurage.

That blog post brought me to my knees with weakness because it was so incredibly detailed, informative and comprehensive! It should be required reading for anyone interested in aromatics. Thank you so much for your dedication to the aromatics of Africa, I don't know of anyone else writing with such devotion, and I truly appreciate your effort.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Dear Anya Thank you, it is my pleasure. Writing it was a journey in itself, and often I was moved to tears by what I discovered. I will keep on exploring and digging and sharing. Africa has so much to offer. Sophia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
