But he just posted on Scents of Time website that they are going out of business, and all remaining stock of his historical perfumes are being sold off to benefit various charities. They have halted all production as of April 15, 2012 :-( ~danoji~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-78964897312597288992012-04-17T09:14:42.953+01:002012-04-17T09:14:42.953+01:00M,

It makes total sense that an eastern Mediterranean island with exactly the rich flora demanded to provide for rich perfumes would be the caterer to the high demand of intricate perfumes in antiquity from Egypt, Greece and the Middle East. <br /><br />I have myself been in contact with the Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-90244694667758356032012-04-17T09:06:24.467+01:002012-04-17T09:06:24.467+01:00P from Scotland,

I...J,<br /><br />thank you! Much appreciated you saying so. <br /><br />It's such an intricate process and so stepped into tradition...it's lovely, isn't it?<br />As to Orthodox music, it generally draws upon the Byzantine tradition which is immense and it has a spirituality that I find has been more or less "abandonded" by western music.

I just googled "oleo sacrum" and it seems to be lemon oil extracted with sugar from lemon peels and used as an ingrediant in some sort of alcohol based punch, and other cocktails ... But, I'm certain that it would run afoul of IFRA standards, as well, if someone decided to try to market it as a perfume :-( ~danoji~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-40374901702294974402012-04-14T13:18:52.018+01:002012-04-14T13:18:52.018+01:00Very interesting article, Elena, and so apropo to ...Very interesting article, Elena, and so apropo to Easter week. My birthday, this year, was on Easter Sunday (April 8) and I was born on Good Friday, long ago. Strange coincidence. I have a strong interest in, and real curiosity about, ancient perfume and incense formulas. I understand that a 4,000 year old perfume has been uncovered, by archeologists, intact, and still fragrant.
