Even though I haven't posted in a while, I've still been dilly-dallying in making stuff.
Last night I brewed up a big, fat, funky fail.
I'm still working on my cream and getting all the ingredients to play together. But one thing bugged me: There seemed to be a lingering odor of hmmm.. a "human waste-type something" smell.
Last night I made the cream again, but I wanted it a little more fluid so I upped the amount of Rosenblütenwasser (rosewater), emptying the bottle. I mixed it with the emulsifying wax and oils and stirred. That fecal scent became more pronounced. I poured the mixture in a jar, put it in the fridge, then went to bed. Note: I left the empty rosewater bottle on the kitchen cabinet.
When I got up this morning, the scent was really strong. I tracked it down and it was coming from the bottle. Roses have a hint of a fecal smell anyway, at least to me, but in this particular instance it was really, really strong.
I know that certain flowers have that type of scent due to indole, but this just took the cake.
Is it me? Or, is it that the blossoms used for the rosewater just happened to be really, uh, "ripe"?
