   I have studied holistic and clinical aromatherapy and am now studying botanical perfumery. I am big on safety issues and proper dosage. How do I deal with these issues in perfumery? For example, could a pregnant woman use my jasmine perfume if it’s a 15% dilution? What about using phototoxic citrus oils in topically applied oils or perfumes? I don’t see this information in the books I have. Speaking of books, your book on homemade perfumes is beautiful and useful and I’m so glad I got it!

     Hi Catherine

     It would be unethical for me to give advice to another school’s student, I hope you understand. Some of your questions are answered in my course or in articles I’ve written. But for aromatherapy safety, again, go back to your teachers for this advice.

     Sincerely,
     Anya

   Thank you for doing this Anya. It is a much needed service! What are you using to tincture the Ylang Ylang? Is it straight ethanol ?

   HI Anya!

   Is is too obvious of question: how to capture sea salt aroma?

   Keep well,
