Geosmin 1%
Pell Wall Perfumes: Fresh, earthy, wet
Geosmin is the scent of a freshly ploughed field, the first rain after a dry period, damp and deceptively powerful. geosmin doesn’t seem particularly strong when you sniff the 1% solution, but even a drop or two will have yourn neighbours wondering whether it’s raining. traces in a fragrance can give you a unique effect and greatly increase diffusion. like nothing else and very special indeed.
Geosmin 10%
Pell Wall Perfumes: Fresh, earthy, wet. very diffusive and powerful
First isolated by bush boake allen (now part of iff) and notoriously difficult to buy in small quantities. here at 1% in DPG, this is geosmin bought pure from iff, diluted by pell wall and still so strong it must be used with caution. we recommend you dilute to 0.1% or even less for blending.
