Published Formulas (6)

Bergamot :: C77

Bright, zesty, and true-to-life. Built to emulate fresh-pressed bergamot with a crisp lift and no phototoxicity. The accord balances Linalyl Acetate, Limonene, and Linalool for that instant citrus radiance, while a micro-dose of Cypress lends the green-bitter edge that makes natural bergamot so dimensional. Clean, vivid, and versatile. Works as a 1:1 replacer for Bergamot Essential Oil in any formula.

Rose :: 1952

A luminous, peach-tinted rose with a refined vintage glow. Evokes the polished elegance of the 1950s; powdered lipstick, silk gloves, and soft daylight through perfume glass. Bright and atmospheric, it bridges classic floral romance with a modern, airy clarity. Versatile and expressive: use as-is for a clean rose soliflore, or layer to lift mid and top notes, especially in rich amber or woody-oud structures. Allow this base to rest for at least two weeks before use. Time rounds the edges and reveals its full radiance.

Church Incense :: 33

An elegant, creamy take on traditional church incense. High Frankincense exaltation with extreme diffusion, thanks to a trace of Aldehyde C12 MNA. Evokes the profound atmosphere of an old church. *If Bois d'Encense is difficult to source, a highly effective and close replacement can be achieved by creating a 1:1 accord of Frankincense Resinoid and Virginia Cedarwood.

Jasmine Crystals :: V15

A high-impact, solar lactonic interpretation of jasmine, capturing its brilliant, sun-drenched facet without any heavy or fecal undertones. Its exceptional power and diffusion make it invaluable for functional products like room diffusers, ensuring a robust and lasting scent throw. In niche perfumes, it offers a clean, luminous jasmine accent. Use it at lower doses due to its strength. It pairs beautifully with oceanic and aquatic notes, providing a warm, contrasting floral lift.

Toro :: 87

A powerful, highly masculine scent inspired by the raw, untamed strength and majestic power of the bull. Capturing the essence of its formidable presence, its passion, its intensity, and its bold spirit. This fragrance opens with a dynamic animalic fruity top accord. At the heart, it unveils a sensual yet masculine rose note, driven by our proprietary rose oil base. The floral core gives way to a distinguished and grounding musky, elegant base, delivering a complex, confident finish.

White Copal :: MX

A fantasy base recreation of Mexican white copal. Resinous yet dry, it brings an incensy character that softens and enriches compositions. Copal is unique, less sharp than frankincense, and works best as a modifier for midnotes. For added realism, it can be blended with elemi resinoid.
