The day before yesterday I got a package all the way from America. In it was 8oz of rose wax and 8oz jasmine wax. I could smell them through the box. What a joy to open the packets, the rose is fragrant and true to rosa damascena, it is the consistancy of beeswax or even harder. It's quite brittle. Yes, I think this rose wax will make an nice addition to my solid rose perfume. When I opened the bag of jasmine wax I was bowled over. WOW! Now I am talking head stuck in the bag all day long type smell. Mouth watering, sweet, jammy jasmine. At first I couldn't place the special note of this jasmine wax and then it came to me, after a few more very deep smells. Warm ripe nectarines or ripe fuzzy peaches. It brought me back to the hot summer I spent in London when I was 12 and I would buy a ripe warm juicy peach from the fruit stand every morning. They don't seem to grow peaches like that anymore.
