They have apparently been making it in Aleppo for millennia... and no-one can tell me its with synthetics. ;)Blog Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16031099057307131978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970730377860494514.post-6516566515127946712009-04-16T20:02:00.000+02:002009-04-16T20:02:00.000+02:00Le critique, I have indeed identified several as b...Le critique, I have indeed identified several as being synthetic. The person who sourced these travelled with a local who spoke the dialect and performed a rather extensive search through the medina. The dealer they found admitted that the larger part of his stock were synthetics, but a portion were not. When asking others to collect oils for you, there is always a risk involved, particularly if they are unable to distinguish the obvious synthetics from the naturals. But I am confident in their research and efforts. <br />One can't forget that some of the middle eastern countries are known for their local distilleries and quality essential oils.Blog Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16031099057307131978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970730377860494514.post-59052347818893369982009-04-16T19:54:00.000+02:002009-04-16T19:54:00.000+02:00I bet all these oils are synthetic, arabian perfum...I bet all these oils are synthetic, arabian perfumers are no different than western perfumers.<br /><br />Not that there's anything wrong with that ;-)Le critique de parfumhttp://www.lecritiquedeparfum.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970730377860494514.post-86612327920164129232009-04-16T19:50:00.000+02:002009-04-16T19:50:00.000+02:00I loved reading your descriptions.
