Guest guest Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Anyone have the experience of using it harmoniously? ~~~~~ namaste! sure, but like many powerful oils, dilution is the key. i am biased, of course, i adore the chamomiles... and blue chamomile is amazing, healing, powerful stuff! try pairing it with a soft citrus, or maybe even in an earthy accord... and it's high azulene content makes it wonderful for inflammation of any kind... you might be interested to see it's applications in the control of mrsa damage as well... but that's AT not perfume. so i digress. much light! einsof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 I use Blue Chamomile in my Rejuvenating Face Oil " Cleopatra's Secret " blend, and it finally gets toned down by the incense, Sandalwood, Clary Sage, Rose, Jasmine, Lavender, Ylang, Patchouli, Helichrysum and Palmarosa. They sound like hard-hitters, but it's a truly beautiful blend and I get positive comments on my 'perfume' all the time. I simply say, " It's just my face oil. " Sandy Messori, RivendellAromatics.com P.S. Does anyone know anything about the legality of steam distilled oil of Cannabis sativa in the USA? I just smelled some and would like to distill it myself. It is more of a medicinal, but could definitely be used in perfumery - kind of skunky and quirky and would be a terrific base note.

Hi Sandy, I was interested in the same thing since it has such a nice earthy smell, but comes from hemp so there are no " side-effects " . I had found a few companies, one in England and one in Switzerland that produce it, but your post about the legality in the US prompted me to research it further. Unfortunately I found out that while hemp oil is legal, hemp essential oil is illegal. (also known as cannabis flower essential oil and other names, like you can read on the website where I found the info: http://www.industrialhemp.net/). It's a bummer since I thought it might be fun to experiment with also. Take care, Hanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those oils would be legal in the US, which (unlike Canada, which allows 10 parts per million) has no permissible % of cannabinols for hemp products. Commercial hemp essential oils generally contain extremely small amounts of cannabinols, measured in parts per million or parts per billion. Whether a few parts per billion can be counted as zero depends on who is asking, and how good their analytical equipment is. Once you dilute the EO in a product, it's going to be 10-100 times less of course. So commercially produced (they are all very small producers) cannabis oils are probably OK. But if you're going to distill your own Sandy, you would need to check your hemp for cannabinol content. Tisserand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
