Laila Carmine: Hi BoisdeJasmine! Thanks for this Fifi list which I just printed off!
And Thanks for anwering my question about verbena. I MUST tell you this – when I wear the verbena mix I attract babies like mad!!! They stick to me!!! And when I wear neroli I get more sympathy from people… What do you say to this! I will becareful with it though since it is sensitizing.
I also bought pure benzoin – wow! And neroli in 10% dilution -it was quite expensive! They told me I can mix these in a pure carrier oil but not to strong and then apply them to pulse points!
And since you never tried Lucky number 6 -I will take that as meaning it’s not worth trying!
I so value your opinion on perfumes that I check your blog every second day! And you’re right about the cancer issue being shifted from target to target!

laila: Argh I just found this on the web – I think I better throw out my verbena – but what about the babies?
Verbena absolute
Verbena absolute obtained from Lippia citriodora Kunth should not be used such that the level in finished cosmetic products exceeds 0.2%. Based on test results showing sensitization.
I guess it is proven to be a ohotosensitizer bad for sunlight etc. April 29, 2007 at 1:27am
