Lovely to see you both again ❤

Love the channel guys❤️... however i have to take issue with this brands (ifra compliant?) spiel about wanting to make fragrances that are highly natural because of 'chemical' allergies in relation to cosmetics is total nonsense and is snake oil salesman esque. naturals are far more reactive and in many cases become carcinogenic if they brake down under certain conditions, heat, time, mixed with other materials etc. Modern lab tested, licensed and batch controlled synthetic compounds are far safer and basically are inert... that's the whole point of ifra regulations.
I'm not sure what years of someone working with harsh peroxides and extreme non-fd&c dyes has to do with fragrance related skin allergies and is very misleading to combine the two.
This is coming from a long time perfume collector with a preference for deco / vintage pure pafums but I know and understand the risks involved.

Eventually got accustomed to adding turmeric into my dishes. Does well on meats, rice and sweet potatoes but a little one-dimensional and earthy. But perfume with catnip? 😯 Now that's something you don't see every day.

Apropos of nothing, I simply wanted to make a recommendation for you two fine Englishmen. Just acquired a bottle of Edwardian Bouquet by Floris and I must say, it's entirely aristocratic, dandyesque, and well worth a sniff.
