Smooth, New Leather Accord (with Demonstration Formula) Sharing a nice accord I stumbled upon while playing: Cedryl Acetate Vertofix Ethyl Maltol A combination of these three (with ethyl maltol at a low level) creates an extremely effective and pleasant leather accord. The leather effect is that of new leather, upholstery, a brand new high quality leather jacket. It's very realistic yet perfumistic and blends into formulae very well - it's also quite versatile in proportions. Speaking of which, for demonstrative purposes, here is a nice fresh-floral-leather formula I built around the accord:

Ambergris Accord

Hello everyone! I'm offering up another accord/base formula I've developed - this time for ambergris, an accord underrepresented on this forum. Ambergris is to me a topic of endless fascination and I was fortunate enough to get my hands on some really nice material which I have personally determined to be legitimate. My sample has a strong phenolic facet, with some faint brine-y animalic aspects and a deep elegant moreishness. Any friends who have smelled the material will at first say "Is that it?" before gluing their nose to the strip. The closest single aromachemical is certainly Grisalva, which is the basis for this accord. It's an underused material and a very fun one.

Pomelo Accord

A quick accord for the community that gives so much.

An Original Formula in the Style of Chanel

Hello everyone. *Blending note - I use a 50% tincture of coriander seed for my coriander. I'd recommend cautious dosing depending on the strength of your material, if it were EO or otherwise. Also, feel free to make substitutions for which bases are used depending on your materials, although I do really like those I have employed here.

Lavender Vintage

I recently had the good fortune to receive a bottle of champa/champaca from India of reliable quality. It's a very interesting smell, hard to describe - it is certainly floral but has a strong leathery facet, some fruitiness and greenness, and an animalic character - overall, delicious and highly narcotic/erogenous. It almost has the character of frangipani flowers on the tree after a few hours on the strip at certain concentrations. Anyway, it's not something I've used before or have any experience with in fragrance. Does anyone have any fun suggestions for accords/blends to try with it? I have ideas inspired by the frangipani aspect to make a tropical dirty floral (like a raunchy vacation) but am curious to hear any input.
