I was looking for Réséda to recreate vintage fragrances and I found this website.
It's a goldmine for nostalgic scents.
This base is very nice, floral, fruity and green at the same time.
Not a floral you see everyday. I like it a lot.

Very long lasting church type incense. Indispensable!

This lovely tincture manages to capture both the slightly cheesy/barnyard animalic scent of civet while also creating a velvety an luminous texture to whatever you blend it with. So lovely with florals!

Rough and off-putting; the real stuff! Absolute magic when added even in tiny doses. Makes you realize what we've lost.

This as the fruity half of Mitsouko! Unfortunately I underestimated its power and didn't dilute it prior to using it in the Demo Mitsouko formula. Don't do that.

I was nostalgic for the quality of old perfumes but afraid of the vintage market, and happened upon this site. I am working my way through the Demo formulas and, though they are not meant to be exact replicas, the results have surpassed my expectations. The exercise is bothe teaching me about formula construction, historical trends, and giving me beautiful perfumes to wear. Iralia gives that elegance characteristic of the classic Guerlains and Chanels. A lovely powdery, woody iris!

Jamie had warned me that this was not based on any actual orchid, but I still imagined it would smell like some glorious heady cattleyas that can smell like a perfume in themselves. Of course he was right, this base does not smell like an actual orchid. It is a complex aldehidic floral with gravitas. Smelling it I was filled with nostalgia. I don't know if it reminded me exactly of a vintage perfume in my scent memory or rather of the quality, detail, and beauty that we used to experience in our world. I am very grateful for artists such as Jamie who maintain and create these experiences of awe and beauty. These are the things that make us human.

Smelling this neat out of the bottle is fantastic - it's gorgeous on it's own - and opens so many blending ideas. A truly lovely base

I will be using this absolute from now on for my perfumes.

This was my first time smelling natural rhodinol, and it makes all the difference in the world. Beautiful.

This flower base is masculine by itself. Perfect floral note for hard boiled theme perfume.

It's not your garden variety white lily off the bat, but changes to a generic white lily after an hour or so. 36 hours in and the whole second floor is scented from just one blotter...

This will fill a room. It's not very traditional lily but could pass if needed and is one of the best white florals out there. Buy the next size up from what you think you want, otherwise you will go back (like I am doing...). It is one of Frater's bases that is a 'perfume' out of the bottle...

This is hands down the best blue chamomile oil I have ever tried. It has a beautiful sweetness that I don't find in any of my other oils and even though it gets used in small amounts in some of my blends, it does make a positive difference. With Jamie's ''Signature'' oils, the quality really shines ! Thanks for procuring these high quality ingredients !

This is certainly the most "Vanilla" like vanillin I have personally tried. Others are almost cloudy in comparison, as this also seems to let other elements shine without overpowering. It has the creamy / edible qualities of Vanitrope (propenyl guaethol) without dominating the compositions. I use with a touch of veratrole, to make a fantastic Vanilla Absolute Replacer.
