If You Want It

By Tonie Silver

The dish is only as good as the
ingredients used. Same goes for
skincare and perfume. Some of the
coolest essential oils around can be
had at Enfleurage. Owner Trygve
Harris makes frequent recon missions
to the Middle East for some of the
nicest frankincense.

One of the things I like about
Enfleurage is that they get essential
oils; one can call them and discuss
the different aspects of a particular
oil. Say you can’t decide between two
different patchoulis, they can tell you
which is sweeter, which is darker,
which is smokier. I really appreciate
that kind of knowledgeable assistance.

Trgve has a love affair with
frankincense. So much so that she
distills her own. Enfleurage’s Omani
Frankincense is light and slightly
camphoracious, and a tad bit sweet.
The Myrrh is to live for, resiny and
smoky-sweet. Enfleurage has smoky
Vetiver, and Sweet Vietnamese
Patchouli~ who’da thunk it???

One of favorites is the Eucalyptus
Radiata; soft and warm and devoid of
any cat pee smell. Really beautiful,
very versatile, and blends
wonderfully. Enfleuarge’s Oud is all
wet wood ship planks. The Oman
Nedjei Frankincense Resin is nice
and strong for burning on charcoal,
but I also like it just fine as it is,
unburned~ it smells sweet and
herbaceous and just-cracked off the
bush. I infused some in hempseed oil
and it smells pretty stunning, I must
say.

Go and get it.
