R, do you happen to know what 'night queen' is? I'm wondering if it's jasmine.
There is something called Night Queen / Raat Rani, that is aka Night Blooming Jasmine, although I'm not sure if it is a true jasmine or not…and for that matter, not 100% sure it is what is used here. Not very helpful, am I? You could try emailing Autumn at La Creme Beauty to be sure.
Night blooming jasmine is Cestrum nocturnum, and most on the market is synthetic. I tincture the flowers, which are tiny, and only have a scent at night, and I understand why the market for the natural extract is so limited.
Yay! another osmanthus! This gives me something to be hopeful for, so far I've only loved the TDC osmanthus. Osmanthus and linden, even the words together sound lovely.
Thanks Anya.
Don't love the TDC, but agree with all the rest of it
