Ask the Perfumer – Sunday, March 11, 2012
It's a late start today, not just because of the time change in the USA, but I'm just feeling lazy - which is much better than feeling stressed! Ask away until 10 PM EST, USA, I'll be here on and off throughout the day to answer your perfumery questions.
Dear Anya:
I remember something about a blending software you were working on. I forget the details, but it seemed intriguing. Can you tell me more?

When I tinctured frankincense it came out all sticky. Can you help with some advise?
Dear Matthew:
It’s part of the Intermediate Study syllabus of my courses. Beta testing needs to be done and the program polished. It’ll then be a subscription-based offering of the Institute.

Dear Annette:
Pour off the top titration, leaving as much ‘goo’ in the jar. The top titration won’t be too sticky when blended with other aromatics and alcohol.
xoxo,
Anya
