Lovely!  I like the sound of the Red Musk Accord - what colour will the soap be?

I've been meaning to ask Ross.  What made you decide on the Wellington 
Fragrance people as the company to get your fragrances from?  I have seen many 
fragrant co names bandied about on The Dish, but never them, so what made you 
decide?

I bought my nearly first ever fragrant oils from Wellington Fragranco Co and 
they arrived today.  I've only purchased fo once before and it was for a 
contract for a client - coconut oil.  It was lovely and soaped great - very 
long lasting.  That was 4 years ago and I still have it!  Anyway the oils I 
chose are very basic fruity ones with a Heather, Fern and Amber thrown in for 
good  measure.

Funny, I never thought I'd be waxing lyrical over fragrant oils!!  I got ones 
that might help me with my feijoa fragrance, but in hind sight, I think the 
aroma chemicals coming from Thailand will help more.  Anyway, this is what I 
got and what I thought.

Amber - lovely but not nearly as strong as I expected.
Heather - subtle but nice.
Fern - very subtle but like.
Banana - as you would expect - but I like it.
Guava - expected it to be stronger, but it is true.
Pineapple - this is the pick of them all, absolutely just like freshly sliced 
pineapple - to die for.
Strawberry - again beautiful, strong, rich and sweet.

I have to say, the fragrant oils surprised me.  They far surpass anything I 
have seen or smelt before.  The scents seem deeper and more complex then your 
usual sniff of fragrant oils.  The usual synthetic/chemical smell is not so 
obvious - IMO, and the bottles are beautiful (I do like bottles).

I feel the start of a whole shelf of beautiful coloured, scented little vials 
of fragrant oils.  My world is a changing!!
