Your perfumes are beautiful, and you can make a business with them for sure. Lulu really loved the left over steak, as expected. I'm glad I didn't eat another bite, it was all so delicious and of course, the company was wonderful. Here's to many more meetings and building up natural perfumery in our hot and humid corner of the world ;-)<br /><br />xoxo<br />Anyaanyasgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10223385840614041356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502094.post-10202974736847177452011-09-25T22:25:26.304-04:002011-09-25T22:25:26.304-04:00Hi Anya,

It's funny, I was going to ask the same question tonight as Einsof just did, either I forgot or the conversation veered off in a different direction.Briannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502094.post-6647803592726066002011-09-25T21:52:48.516-04:002011-09-25T21:52:48.516-04:00Hola, Einsof, nice seeing your first post here.

Even my bottle of Light came out ;-)<br /><br />I typically make 500mls at a time, and with best sellers, like Pan, MoonDance, StarFlower, 1000mls. <br /><br />xoxo<br />Anyaanyasgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10223385840614041356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502094.post-62343001945985782072011-09-25T21:23:22.868-04:002011-09-25T21:23:22.868-04:00i thought it might be interesting for people how b...i thought it might be interesting for people how big a batch of perfume you make at a time? so for example, if you were making new inventory of Light... how much do you make at a time? (plus, i have never joined the conversation here. *grin*)<br /><br />much light, einsofAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502094.post-22065180047977479882011-09-25T16:56:35.503-04:002011-09-25T16:56:35.503-04:00Hi Rita:

We will be having a local natural perfumers meetup in November, so email me your dates and we'll see if you can make that.<br /><br />Anyaanyasgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10223385840614041356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502094.post-40585286585524898022011-09-25T15:01:01.356-04:002011-09-25T15:01:01.356-04:00Dear Anya:

My ultrasonic has a 30 minute timer. I typically run it the 30 minutes, and then for another 30 minutes, and if it's going to need more material, I pour the strained alcohol into an airtight jar and place it in the refrigerator. For instance, if your tuberoses or jasmines bloom in waves, you pick and recharge the alcohol with each wave, repeating the straining and refrigeration.<br /><br />Some materials give up their scent very easily, like my Corsican mint. I only needed one session to get a quart of highly-scented gorgeous clear, clean mint. <br /><br />I never use the heat setting, btw. I'm just afraid it'll be too much for the delicate flowers especially.<br /><br />xoxo<br />Anyaanyasgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10223385840614041356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502094.post-71848538910867175502011-09-25T12:07:11.169-04:002011-09-25T12:07:11.169-04:00Good afternoon Anya,
