Description
Anya carefully curated this selection of essences for the study of, and creation of perfumes.?It contains 24 4-milliliter bottles of pure and natural aromatics. Some of the expensive absolutes are diluted to 10% to make the kit affordable, and the oakmoss is diluted to 3% for safety reasons. All bottles are labeled with common name, botanical name, type of oil (EO, absolute), part of plant, and country of origin.?The kit is packaged in a wooden box to protect the oils and to make it easy to transport the kit.
Upon purchase of either kit, the customer will receive, as a bonus, specific, detailed instructions from the Natural Perfumery Institute on how to dilute the aromatics.?*

*The Value of Diluting Oils
1. Diluting oils saves you money?when you create accords and modifications, since a 10% or less dilution will give you the scent to evaluate, at 10% of the cost of using a full drop of the undiluted aromatic. I know you’ll enjoy this kit, and learning about the aromatic groups. The kit was assembled to educate and delight you, and save you money, too.
2. It “opens up” the aromatic so that you can smell it in closer to the natural state, since undiluted oils are very concentrated, and may overwhelm your nose. Once you have selected the perfect modification for your perfume, you need to convert the drops to grams with specific gravity calculations. I teach this in the Intermediate Level course at the Natural Perfumery Institute, with a custom blending software program I developed.
