Thanks for the info and the link!
I did a bunch of side by side comparisons, sweet orange, (cheap
portuges and the super $ one,) lavendar, caj, geranium rose, and a few
others. With the particular -brand- of oils I had the mixes with caj/
orange and caj./lavendar produced the very very dark color like CCJ
posted. The orange was a smell that didn't bother me and lasted really
well. It's weird how so many people have had such differing results
from different companies products. Anyway the orange oil gave super
awesome color but not at the expense of peoples safety, I guess I'll
fiddle more with lavendar.
