Gosh Síofra, I didn't think I would enjoy a post about perfume so much! I only read it because you wrote it to be honest. I intensely dislike (mass produced) perfume, which turns my stomach and makes me feel nauseous. Even if I hug someone who is wearing perfume, I can smell it on my clothes and generally have to change out of them as soon as possible. This post has given me a whole new insight into 'real' perfume. Thank you!
Seems like alcohol based perfumes are a departure from traditional methods of making perfumes. It is an amazing history! I'd say you are reacting to the many chemicals they use in modern perfume. In Florence the l'Erbalario has natural perfumes .x
Facinating research into perfume origins and love that you have put it into practise, your range of soaps and candles look very enticing!!!
Thank you Lorraine xxx
