Ask the Perfumer - Sunday, July 3, 2011 - until 10 PM EST
Happy Fourth of July to my USA readers! Any perfumery questions on this lazy, fun weekend? Someone wrote me during the week they want to continue the labdanum discussion. Short answer: you can't call your perfume a botanical perfume if it has animal essence in it, including labdanum. Natural perfume is a recognized, true representation of what you should call your perfume.
