I just love so many of these oils not because something is wrong. I'm just a fragrance lady....more perfumes than i know what to do with and these are not cheap. I also had my personal fragranced oils made for me by perfumers in Istanbul.
thanks for sharing
I'll have to get some!
Most of these essential oils are quite delightful, everyone will have their own favourites. Love to dabble a bit on a holder and burn a tea candle underneath which releases wonderful aromas into the air.
