ReplyDeleteAnkica,
ReplyDeleteyou're most welcome, thanks for stopping by and saying so!
This was very interesting, but a bit ironic after last week's conversation on overexposure to fragrance in the workplace. I respect their expertise but still wish we had better labelling laws so I can avoid certain chemicals. And the one guy was (shudder) a fragrance chemist - what is wrong with nature?

Isabella,
ReplyDeleteyou can't blame me on not dwelling on irony :-)
I think chemistry gets a bad rep in perfume lovers' circles: chemistry degrees are required anyway in this profession, whether one indulges heavily in naturals or heavily in synths. All materials break down in chemistry-speak anyway! (rose absolute for instance contains hundreds of molecules, to give but one example)
E,
DeleteYikes - no offense intended. And yes I get what you are saying about chemistry. Even water is something like dihydro-oxide (???). It was a fascinating video, just- ironic. Xoxoxoxo

ReplyDeletenone taken, don't worry! Thanks for replying. :-)
It's especially funny when the woman on the airplane story gets told; sillage vengeance coming to slap him on the face, eh?
Isabella,
ReplyDeleteoff topic question but...how on earth were you able to post your comment as a "reply" to me? Is there some mechanism I'm not aware of? Are you on a different platform when responding here? (non Goggle-based, I mean)
