Tinctures

Alegna Soap® tincture

Tinctures   Sitting on the ledge of the windows on my porch are my tinctures. When I was studying natural perfuming, I made them for the base of my perfumes.  This is a trick I learned from Charna Ethier of Providence Perfumes.

Providence Perfume & My Natural Perfume Addiction

Providence Perfume and my natural perfume addiction

It's no secret that I have a natural perfume addiction. I have a collection of perfumes and samples that rival any department store. I've taken more than a few perfuming classes and have recently started making scented oils for Alegna Soap®.  When I saw that Charna Ethier was giving a weekend class in Chypres and Fougeres, I knew I'd be traveling …
