What other people think

'The powder is used to scent dentifrices, toothpowders etc. The resin is used in soaps, colognes and perfumes; the absolute and 'concrete' oil are reserved for high class perfumery work. Occasionally used in Europe for confectionary and fruit flowers.' - an excerpt from 'Complete Essential Oils' by Julia Lawless. (this book has now been discontinued).
