For me this is a thing of beauty and I hope Alec Lawless www.essentially-me.co.uk doesn't mind me picturing it. I have a cardboard box that is filling up with my supplies of essential oils, scent smelling strips, fuller's earth and mixing bottles, as I inhale centuries of fragrances and record my impressions. This lab kit demands space, a desk of my own at least, and gives me the same sense of excitement I got in a chemistry class at fifteen. The thrill of adding essences drop by drop, blending and testing, is all consuming at the moment. I have dropped hints and emailed links but so far nothing under the tree with my name on it looks the right shape or size.
