Re: osmanthus advice please

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I've been doing both enfleurage and a tincture with osmanthus blossoms and I

must say, I like the enfleurage much better. But, I have to wonder if part

of the reason I am not liking the tincture as much is maybe because it needs

to be re-charged way more than I have been doing. I was focusing on

recharging the enfleurage more than the tincture. Oh, and I've been using

the lazy method of enfleurage. I melt my solid oil-fat at a very low temp

and pour it over the blossoms in a jar rather than setting each blossom face

down on the solid oil-fat. I tried the latter method and found it way too

time consuming and my picked flowers were going bad before I could get them

all done. I don't have my own bush to pick from daily so when I find one, I

pick a bag full of blossoms and store them in the fridge while I work

through them.
