I have used vinegar, and the smell really is amplified for some
reason. I don't normally mind the smell of vinegar, but when you make
henna with it it seems to really heighten it.
I do like using some oldish but not-quite-vinegar wine that we have
hanging around, but i usually mix that with the water from boiled
dried limes, marjoram, and rosemary, which really smells more like
food than henna.
Of course the cajeput and tea tree just overpowers that anyways, so
it doesn't matter too much!

: All the info I have found says to use a citric acid as a catalyst (
: lemon or lime or both) Does it have to be citric, has anyone ever
: tried vinegar ( this has been around a long time and I assume it is
: an acid).
: jus wondered..
