So in love with this multi floral woodsy base. Lilac is the main feature in this show. Honestly you can put perfumer alcohol in it and call it a day.

This is just such a great scent. Feels like a warm hug at tea time. Herbal, light and sweet. So much to like about this. Can’t wait to try this with tea and honey concepts. Love.

I actually imagined a different scent when I saw the name and thought more of a fresh, natural rose scent in the direction of Rosa alba. Well, I should have known better, because the reference to the use in "Detchema", a classic floral-aldehyde perfume from the 1950s, was quite clear. And indeed: Rose Blanche is not a copy of a fresh and natural rose blossom, but a rather abstract, sophisticated and extremely elegant rose building block. As soon as I smelled it for the first time, I could absolutely understand the reference to "Detchema", because I know the perfume. Nostalgic charm and timeless elegance are keywords that come to mind when I think of this base. This aldehyde rose base goes very well thematically with the aldehyde lily of the valley base "Aldalia".

Don't let be fooled by this delicate and fragile looking flower! Honeysuckle base, which replicates the flower scent of Lonicera caprifolium in a rather convincing way to my nose, is one of the most powerful floral bases in Jamie's collection. A tiny drop on a smelling strip perfumes an entire room effortlessly for many hours!

This is indeed a highly diffusive and quite powerful base. I was a bit puzzled at first, because I expected something more in the direction of real hay or flouve absolute. Foin Coupé reminds me strongly of some traditional English fougère fragrances like Geo F. Trumper's "Wild Fern" or Penhaligon's "English Fern". - To my nose, this base also contains a judiciously amount of salicylates (amyl salicylate, cis-3-hexenyl salicylate or alike) supporting diffusiveness.

This is definitely a Golden Age base recreation (it seems like it would be a no-brainer for an old accord but for modern accords, I’d probably use this as a focus point and work my own formula around this as it is complex). Beautiful, floral, “je ne sais quoi”-type and a little ‘perfume-like’ on its own. Comment: the pink and purple clematis flowers we are all used to don’t smell much, so I was expecting this to be the fantasy base it is - and a beautiful one at that! There are a few clematis varieties that do smell, but this does not at all smell like those!!!

It's quite impressive how clean and clear this oil smells and - even more fascinating - how the scent remains almost unchanged during the hours on the scent strip. This lavender reminds me somehow of Yardley's 'English Lavender' (vintage version). Lovely!

beautiful elegant white lilac with jasmine note. it performs with grace, completely levels up the whole composition.

A bight pure clean lily of the valley base. Impressed with its longevity. One could use it in any multi floral scent and it will stand out amongst the rest. It works beautifully with cyclamen aldehyde and hydroxycitronellal in a formula I'm working on. Very happy with the results so far.

Best Rose De Mai ever, no questions

A three dimensional rose note. It provides the all the missing parts from the current Wardia Firmenich in this really beautiful base. You won't go wrong overdosing it in any formula.. It works beautifully with Jasmin 231 and Jasmophore if you you looking to create something in Joy Jean Patou or Lanvin My Sin territory.
Thanks Mr. Frater!

I realized this base has made my perfumery making a lot easier if you want Neroli in your scent, and a lot more sophisticated too. I was intentionally wanting to add some Neroli touches, with citronellol, limonene, ect, this base completes it all!

Comparing this Fir to the other Fir EO that i required in big places, this is a hidden gem.. hidden gem with such beautiful price..more characteristics into the dry down.. some has harsh pee smell?! this is A+, a hidden gem ,hidden gem, hehehe (nobody wants this?!)

Been searching for that unique patchouli scent that i'm missing, having tried many, or at least within my budget range. This is the kind of patchouli that makes you gasp, it's a bit spicy in the beginning, hints of dark chocolate, and some aspects of old furniture, and then wham! in coming the animal note! This is so much fun and so invigorating, never would i expect this animalistic touch! Guys, just get it, dont' think.

Mr. Frater's restoration of the famed De Laire base is masterful. It is green, mossy, and leathery. It's a perfume all on its own. It was featured in many classics such as Habanita, Nuit de Noel (along with most all Caron perfumes pre-1990), Chanel Bois des Iles, Hermes Caleche to name a few. The original is still being produced by Symrise now but it's missing the je ne sais quoi from Jamie's version. If you're looking to reproduce or get inspired by this base, it's a great start. Get it. It's worth it.
