This is due perhaps because of the recognition that she was the first aromatherapist to publish a comprehensive, industry-based book on blending from an aromatherapists’ palette.
That is changing, as the recognition of the fact that if perfume is only to be dabbed on a small area of the skin, not rubbed in a large area, as in a massage, then there is a place for a well-conceived, well-designed perfume that contains absolutes, concretes and other “non-AT” raw materials.
The solid perfumes, carried in a small “compact”, are typically solidified with beeswax.

Jitterbug Perfume is a story of epic proportions, spanning a time-frame of almost one thousand years.
These present-day encounters revolve around the search for the secret ingredient to the perfect perfume, and involve the presence of a vegetable, the beet.
