mixed, but i don't care much for relying on their own products.

I like the look of yours, but audio? I'm a visual learner. i wish you had an online course.

Those two Floracopeia course ARE online courses ;p

Aromatic Artistry is audio

Aromatic Lifestyle is video

Both have a plethora of PDF's that come with the course. Essentially wrote a book for each course.

Just finished Module 2 this morning and afternoon. I wish there was a transcript of the modules because to take notes and refer to the materials at the same time to too hard for this guy who's been out of school for a million years!

I never thought about prepping the alcohol for using it. I should say, for the fixing the alcohol for the florals, what do you recommend the does should be for a gallon?

I find a month of maturing is all that is needed. Is 6 months really necessary? I want to start sharing my art with people!

I know all 3 men you mention - they are all quite interesting and intelligent folks. They have a lot of great information and insight to share with the world, and even though I don't always agree with all of it - I appreciate all of what they have to say.

One thing that drives me nuts about the criticism of naturals - is the term "allergy". Tisserand and I have been known to butt heads on this one.

Allergies, technically speaking, require a reaction to a protein - and are known as "True allergies". As there are no proteins in Essential Oils - there can be no True Allergies to them. Natural oil sensitivities are best nomenclated as Pseudo-Allergies or Chemical Sensitivities.

I find public discourse about natural materials - including any discussion with or about IFRA and with other industry insiders to be maddening, as they can't even use or acknowledge the proper terminology. I've been known to get a lot of heat from some well known perfumers for bringing this point up. As if using proper terminology somehow will harm public safety. Haha

Excellent point about true allergy. Can I ask your opinion about " Nickel Allergy"? I think it is about "sensitivity" also. However, people claimed it was real allergy???

If going by definition of a True Allergy - I would agree. A Psuedo Allergy, at best - likely more a sensitivity.

Common language often gets used - but can be misleading. Especially when they legislate laws based on the wrong words. IFRA comes to mind...
