Azahar is a word that directly refers to the bitter orange tree flowers (and other citrusy petals from trees like lemon, but more rarely). "Agua de azahar" (azahar water), quite famous, is like a distillation of the petals of bitter orange tree flowers, tipicall from Valencia, our main orange production area in the mediterranean shores
Edit: there you may have the neroli?

Petitgrain

Petitgrain

mmm,i gues not, So this prtitgrain came from leaves and young braches, and azahar came from the petals and flowers, in a distilation way. I Know azahar but not prtitgrain, I reckon they are differently done and smell different , but I cannot say as I dont know the other one, but certainly azahar has nos not a smell like oranges unless you put it because it smell different... it is azahar... lets say neroli...

So my FrangranceNet parcel has arrived and was picked up by my daughter yesterday with some of her parcels (no, not all of this box is for me) -



Still awaiting a response from my credit card provider about the dispute.

Your daughter uses Acqua Di Parma? I didn't realise it was such a feminine scent.

Now that I've said that, I don't actually know what it smells like... Must investigate.

I use Liggett's shampoo bars but I'd get the Harris bar just for that cool travel tin!!

 

[FluffyGroodle]

iggett's shampoo bars

@nav1, I’ll look that up when I run out of Dr. Harris. Lush sells similar looking tins for their shampoo bars too

Lush shampoo bars are full of ingredients i don't want to use in my shampoo but yeah, the tins are nice.

The Liggett's is great! I tried a few but settled on the moisturising formula. It doesn't weigh the hair down even though it's a "moisturising" formula. The others i tried left the hair a bit heavy.

Sent you a PM

Sent you a PM

Haven't received your PM only the last reply on the Bay Rum soap list, otherwise you must've been drinking again and send it to the wrong wet shaver who has just read your Chamber of Secrets

@FluffyGroodle @nav1 I think that you will find the Dr Harris shampoo bars contain some nasties as well, but I agree on the tins are very nice. @nav1 where do you source your Liggett’s bars from?
