Lavender Vintage

Had a quick crack tonight, drawing on a Samsara inspired fragrance with some modifications. It worked out really well. Viciously green on the open, really quite soapy, super clean and somewhat refined. I'm now curious to see what champa would do in really jasmine forward compositions where the jasmine is completely substituted out. Edit to say: "Lavender Vintage" refers to a unique gift I received of some vintage lavandin from France, extremely old and formerly unopened. It's very nice. I modified an ambreine accord to increase labdanum slightly (as per Marlo's suggestion). I'd recommend making this formula, although I know it's somewhat involved. It also involves a ton of Mysore sandalwood which I'm fortunate enough to have in ample supply, but a quality base would do here I'm sure. I'd suggest halving the amount of Cis-3-Hexenyl acetate to reduce the green punch on open and bring it up to this level if it were desired - it's really growing on me and less of an issue on skin.
