Catherine, you DO have a way with words..."mystic~ninny~boutique".
That's funny! Well, I guess I just donated $68.00 to the
Mystic~Ninny Foundation for the Adulteration of Oils. I will have to
get some from the sources you suggested just to smell the
difference. I just smelled the three bottles of Cajeput I bought and
each bottle smells different. Guess that says something! What I
have clearly has had some effect on the Earth Henna beyond the change
in consistency. But I have nowhere near the deep dark browns that
you obtained. Another reason to be at Sirius Rising...to train my
nose to what the real deal smells like. Until then, I am back to
playing with what I have. Whatever it is...
