Working with apple blossom concrete. Hopefully it will play nice.

A “concrete” is the solid waxy paste left behind by after the essential oil extracted with a solvent.

I’ve had chunks of this for a while which I’ve worked with on and off. I haven’t been happy with the results of previous tinctures: The scent has been too light. This time, I’ll tincture through three times.

I’m not quite sure how apple blossom concrete is made though. I didn’t think an oil could be extracted from apple blossoms. I guess this concrete is made on purpose and not the result of making use of a byproduct.

When I came across “iGuides-Make Your Own Perfume” iApp, I was pleasantly surprised. I thought that, perhaps, this would be a handy go-to guide for helpful tips when my books were out of reach.

Yikes. I was wrong.
