Introduction
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. 💫

"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
