About the formula
Introduction
This formula is a collaboration between perfumer Liron Shalev and the DIY community, aiming to capture the unique and nostalgic scent of a swimming pool.
Poolside Memories
The fragrance begins with a refreshing burst of aquatic notes, achieved through a blend of Ambroxan and Veramoss. This creates a clean, watery sensation that immediately transports you to the poolside.
Sun-Kissed Skin
The addition of Cis-3-Hexenol and Viridine brings a touch of fresh-cut grass and sunscreen to the fragrance, adding a layer of warmth and sun-kissed skin.
Chlorine & Saltwater
Cascalone and Cetalox are used to create a slightly salty, chlorine-like effect, reminiscent of the pool water itself. This unique aspect adds a distinct and authentic quality to the fragrance.
Dried Towels and Warmth
Habanolide adds a subtle warmth and sun-dried towel aspect, rounding out the fragrance and creating a comforting sense of relaxation.
Versatility and Experimentation
The formula is designed to be diluted to 5% for skin application, but it can also be experimented with for different concentrations and applications. The minimalist formula invites you to explore its potential and create your own unique olfactory experiences.
Hello guys! 💧 What do you think about recreating the smell of a pool? Wet, marine undertones, clean and forever nostalgic? Liron Shalev (@unguentarius.phoebus ) the perfumer who joined the collective sharing project decided to bring us a formula that will encapsulate the magic, yet so simple and honest smell of a pool created on aromachemicals like Ambroxan, Veramoss, Cis-3-Hexenol, Cetalox, Cascalone and a few more others I am so happy for you to discover and blend. 💫 Liron Shalv: "Liron Shalev: "Hey, I am Liron Shalev, better known in the DIY community for my website Unguentarius.com. You can say I am more of an informatics guy, working on some perfumery-related projects I am very excited to share with you all very soon. I love the idea of sharing formulas, especially very short ones that can convey interesting concepts and call for experimentation and modification. I was inspired to create this accord when experimenting with the combination of Calone and Veramoss. My first association was that of burying my head inside a towel used in the swimming pool and dried in the sun. The effect was very ionic, chlorine, and iodine-like, and at the same time very warm and soothing. I replaced a big part of the Calone with Cascalone to maximize this watery ionic effect and reduce the sweet watermelon aspect of Calone. I felt some Ambrox is needed to complete this watery picture, but worried a high dose of Ambroxan could shift the main theme and make it more oceanic rather than a swimming pool. So I used a ratio of 3:1 Cetalox to Ambroxan to keep it quieter and more transparent. Then the cis-3-Haxanol and Viridine complete the picture with freshly cut grass and a bit of sunscreen, and the Habanolide supports the sun drying towel and rounds the edges of the sharper molecules. " *this formula needs to be dilluted at 5% if you want to apply it on the skin Let us know if you are going to try it and don't forget to check Liron's page and website as it is an amazing place to find new, fresh and amazing formulas made by him :@unguentarius.phoebus See you soon! 💧💫
