bergamot tip !

im making a bergamot recreation and its already super realistic with 6 ingredients! just found 5 more to add in small amounts. im only using essential oils and its a lot of fun, like doing a puzzle or mind game, if you like those.... been making dilutions all day and im so glad i invested in 100 tiny bottles! .30 cents a piece is a small price to pay for the convenience of use! so many dilutions!
ive made a few formulas for other perfume ideas and some of the accords i made are turning out really well. if i didnt get that thanaka lime also known as persian lime (its those little black ones for food) which is citrus x latifolia (key lime and lemon) i wouldnt have been able to make this wonderful bergamot recreation!
some of the ingredients im using are
bitter orange (citrus x aurantium) respiratory, lemon (citrus limon), blood orange (citrus x sinensis), ...... woops ! dont want to give it all away! specially now that im getting better. at making perfume formulas. its like when you get that click in your head..all my years of reading and learning and smelling are now exploding and i kind of finally know what the heck im doing making these perfumes. so this one is all essential oils. if i get these oils as therapeutic grade this blend would be the best! cos its got so many other beneficial plants in it ... this blend would be great as an

oil and it will be my first experiment with roller bottles and making a "perfume oil" but actually its an aromatherapy blend... but dont tell anyone that! atomizer blend! its for my lungs, a stimulant, it will refresh your system (conceptually) im reading about the medicinal properties of the individual chemical constituents in the oils im using to "recreate bergamot" which has an interesting lineage! but i think calling it a perfume would be more chic. i think im going to call it Bergamot 41.... for my "original"  birthday creation. of course i had a little help along the way from all the little avatars on basenotes..... (a lot of help in the form of nudges i got from comments and posts and i would make mental notes while doing the work of smelling/memory and creation) if it works out its a simple accord and also a complicated formula. I got the lime to rework the cannabis accord actually.. wanted to try to make a bergamot with lemonile and triplal but will play with these maybe have a version with a.c.'s to add structure and longevity and strength.. and while trying to find out what triplal and lemonile was and how it could be bergamot, i ended up making a bergamot, 1, because i go a nature identical "essential oil" and a real one from the same vendor but drat could not find the bergamot, which has aired out. i did however have my old sample still and used it as a reference instead but have been using my suppliers analysis to recreate the bergamot. it would also be good as a tincture or super dilution as a flavouring there is ... ok i will give up more ingredients... hyssop (hyssopum officianalis and chamomile (chamomelum nobille) blood thinner which are beneficial  get so excited with dumb things i learn i want to tell everyone and find out what they know about it too. im such a doofus of course everyone hates this kind of behaviour. when i made the second version and smelled my last bergamot sample from new directions as a comparison i could not believe how accurate my choices were!!! of course it needed fleshing out but wow! ive never done this before picture me on the sofa on the coffee table all these bottles everywhere sniffing one palm then the other giggling with glee and shock (the bergamot from new directions was inexpensive though, do you think it was diluted, the sample on wikipedia is green almost like olive and ive never bought one like that) (i wondered if after all the good stuff was done how many more passes ethyl alcohol will have on the pressed peels) interesting bit is learning about the history of lime, which originated from a philippine citrus, from the south, not for food use but rather cosmetic in use due to its use as a shampoo (the citric acid i suppose closes the hair shaft, cleanses the scalp, and makes the hair very shiny and the oil makes the hair fragrant) it might have also coloured the hair to orange or lighter brown because of the high bergapten in the oil. which is photosensitive, then down the line as the fruit was passed along as a gift- because it would have been rather precious to tend to a live plant across the ocean if they were just using huge galleons at the time. . .i guess they brought seeds but the live plant as a gift is def the way to go and totally believeable because why import a plant that has no nutritional value (oh wait..scurvy)  at some point this lime was crossed with lemon to make the key lime probably adding more pulp as described in wiki, then this fruit was paired with the bitter orange to make bergamot . . . the rest is history !-- ok wait im a bit confused here. so citrus micrantha is bred citrus limon and then with bitter orange to make bergamot. in world war 2 italy was banned from exporting bergamot by the allied forces (united nations) to tone down their aggression during the war so other countries took over the bergamot trade for a while using sweet limes from brazil so the smell is not the same which is why (maybe) there are two bergamot oils. the original one and the fake one. and also to note bergamot oil i guess is classified as a fragrance oil because it was bred for cosmetic use. isnt that a weird spin.  there isnt much study on the medicinal effects of bergamot as of 2017. the poison is the dose is why the original limes were small and had not much juice. the strength of the scent carried it through and its origin was not lost because the fragrance could be traced. much like language and genes.

SWAPS! essential oil swaps aroma chemicals molecule one essences and fragrance materials

anyway here are the items retrieved from my diligent editing and looking up not that much at all in reality... the cape may and the coffee oil i have is up for swap too and i will finalize the tiny perfumes i can swap. there are a couple nice colognes will try and remake!

nicotiro swaps e.o.’s for a.c.’s - Dilutions are also ok (if you want me to dilute)

Would like to trade any of these EO’s or Absolutes

these are new from botanic universe. the absolutes are not concretes so they have been extracted from the concrete with ethyl alcohol and are mobile and do not need a bain marie. i have not verified these oils and consider them cosmetic grade cos what do i know. there are gcms documents on some essential oils on their site (ex rosemary spain) i put an asterisk on my favorite ones that i used right away and a % on those that need to be learned/heavily diluted.

i have a swap page for perfumers or people interested in essential oils...
http://www.basenotes.net/threads/476459-nicotiro-swaps-e-o-s-for-a-c-s

was thinking about also having the samples up in case anyone wanted to try some but do not have anything to trade, then they could just send me some money for it.

.:
ok weird just now im getting loads of flak on the basenotes forum
its some kind of shilling or some kind of public shaming of women online
thats what it feels like to me. anyway. so theres that.... as usual. so im kind of bummed i wont log in anymore or read the forum because it literally takes me away from what im buzzing around there looking for, a phrase, some kind of connection with a smell that i can make with what i have or learn something new from what i have and this knowledge isnt fully hald up front like its very loosely accessed and the trolls they take it away with their inane demands on polictical correctness and even now i feel like another unpaid shill for some kind of fight between the british and french schools of aromatherapy oh for fucks sake and then it goes on and on and cries out loud. if it wasnt for the internet where would be. outside no doubt, in civilized society!


 

Scalp Tonic !

My scalp tonic !!! Formula !!
I have posted additional oils in my basenotes thread found here:
http://www.basenotes.net/threads/459171-EO-Perfume-blends-Fougere-Chypre-amp-Cologne?p=4556889&viewfull=1#post4556889


Hmm online content is online content!
Here is my post (yippeee the colours remain!)


Update!
Scalp Tonic!
Been working on research regarding the scalp tonic. A lot of the essential oils need high percentages for them to work as referenced in the studies. So I was going to make two versions, the aromatherapy version which might not smell like a perfume at all, and a daily scalp tonic which would be the one that smells better.

Original blend:
12 rosemary - aids penetration
07 lav - aids synergy
04 mint - circulatory stimulation
02 geranium - hormone balancing
01 neroli - pore tightening

I would like to add the following oils in a pleasing way.
sicilian lemon - antibacterial
magnolia leaf - antifungal
frankincense - wound healing
thyme - anti bacterial
marjoram - anti bacterial
ravensara - anti viral
cedar atlas - sebum control
vetiver - yeast control

Aroma chems:
sandalore - hair growth- only needs .005% to work
farnesol - anti bacterial

(these are ones I do not have but have been referenced in study)
eugenol
cavacrol
thymol

Made a recent blend with all the additional oils on a trace of sandalore and farnesol, only denatured alcohol and water. It smells … ok, it smells like an aromatherapy blend, I can still smell the original blend, sweet, juicy and herbal mint. The most interesting part is how it regulates my circadian rhythm when I apply it at night before bed. Its happened by coincidence so many times that I think it actually works. I spray the mixture directly on my scalp and rub it in with my fingertips. There is a slight cooling action from evaporation and eventually the peppermint. When applied before bed at around 10-12 midnight, I wake up at the crack of dawn, naturally, without fail. Its mildly annoying! When not used I wake up much later in the morning, and usually get up frequently at night. So i’m not sure what’s worse!

Would like to make this into an aromatic perfume somehow. Any suggestions? At some point I was hoping to make this a finished product for sale. So far all I have is negative income from all of my research and experimenting. What an expensive "hobby"!

Hair Tonic

oh new hair tonic
how do i start to describe thee
how thy milky sap doth cure my hot head
that lack of water most certainly causes
my wilting locks of dark mahogany
feel refreshed by your opalescent
fragrant waters of life and joy
 when your cooling elixir of youth
touches my parched scalp
i rejoice and sing praise to thee
the sweet mingling of peppermint
and rosemary- a queens remedy
with geranium to balance
my delicate sensibilities
lavender to soothe my worries
and neroli to tighten my skin,
oh new hair tonic i think of you so
and ponder on the quantity
of polysorbate 80
and if it will actually
remove sebum and dht
oh new hair tonic i am writing you down
for my case study
my remedy i do love thee
what kind of preservative do i put in you
are you a rinse off product my love
bows and arrows and knives and guns
cannot compare to the splendor found in thy pearly glow.
