I've tried reconstituting several evaporated tinctures/evulsions with moderate success -- fig tincture, teas. The only thing I can suggest that can be done, as I do it, is to filter out the sludge when the perfume has matured. Or use them more in solids :) They also don't do well in oil. <br /><br />Very good question, thanks for bringing it up.Justine Cranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16224192086918363871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19154645.post-58973153263417881332010-03-13T09:37:07.828-08:002010-03-13T09:37:07.828-08:00I have some green tea CO2, and it is fabulous, but...I have some green tea CO2, and it is fabulous, but won't totally go into solution in a perfume, it leaves a sludge at the bottom. I use it in solids, where it won't matter as much.<br /><br />Do you find that the tinctures & ultrasonic extracts go into the alcohol better?<br /><br />Thanks for all the great info you share here!Micahhttp://www.al-kemi.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19154645.post-83859746628103582962010-03-13T09:10:22.415-08:002010-03-13T09:10:22.415-08:00I just find tea tinctures amazing in their diversi...I just find tea tinctures amazing in their diversity of scent, and, really, how EASY they are to make. <br /><br />I have to admit, though, that I do use them quite sparingly while formulating.

I once had a delicious osmanthus tea tincture that was ethereal and dark, not at all like osmanthus flower absolute, but with its own alluring character. <br /><br />Gotta love the teas!Justine Cranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16224192086918363871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19154645.post-23753759396966031972010-03-12T11:51:15.695-08:002010-03-12T11:51:15.695-08:00I have tinctured rooibos and China Jasmim Tai Um L...I have tinctured rooibos and China Jasmim Tai Um Long Zhu.
