    I love watching videos like this showing how things are made (especially perfume-related things).

      I do too, and they are really few & far between. I’ve been trying to find a decent video on harvesting frankincense and/or the rose harvest in Bulgaria, but they’re all just so-so.

    Ah, lovely! This was fascinating and made me appreciate how truly precious many of our perfume ingredients are.

    Please post many more of these videos as is possible. I think we all want to learn more about the detailed process of producing perfume.

    Many, many thanks for making this available!

      So glad you liked it! And trust me, I post them when I find them. There aren’t many good ones — cheers to Lush for doing most of the ones I’ve found.
