prices are on the higher end but the materials are top notch! always a pleasure to shop here<3

i legit cannot stop smelling it, its so good

Perfect!

This is the universal powdery note that has been missing from my formulas! After further dilution in ethyl alcohol down to 10% concentration it only takes six to ten drops to create a powerful powdery floral heart note that works especially well with jasmine, lavender, iris, most musks, sandal, cedar, pine, linalool esters, geraniol esters, and most ambers. In fact I have seen that in many fragrance oil formulas on Perfumer's Apprentice that heliotropin is used as the universal powder note as opposed to something like jasmine absolute. For instance in their gin fragrance oil formula heliotropin is used with cypress, lime, coriander, and rum ether. This proves heliotropin is a universal floralizer that goes beyond being useful for adding a dimension to floral notes with a similar profile. Thus far I have found heliotropin to be useful in fougere, chypre, aromatic citrus, fresh shower gel & marine accords, and even heavier cold weather fragrance formulas. Even though this material is heavily restricted it works wonders in trace amounts. I will have to try the less restricted replacer materials to see how they compare. I'm very glad to have real heliotropin at a reasonable dilution and price thanks to Fraterworks!

Only downside for me is the price, I with I could use this more in my fragrances, it’s an amazing natural aroma

Perfect! Great for top notes. Smells just like a bag of coffee but more dense and oily. However dry down does not last long. This is more of a top to mid note.

I was very pleased and knew that this took my composition to the next level! I will be ordering this again!

When I first opened the bottle, I was expecting some seriously intense oud... in fact, I was preparing myself to smell not just one goat, but the whole stable. Imagine my surprise when I instead noticed a very gentle, but still firm and clear oud note. Finally I found a relatively "neutral" base that was not as dry as cedar, but instead much more lively. Usually if you use oud as a base for something gentle, like a floral, the oud just overpowers the other notes. But this base is perfect. It's firm and characteristic, yet roomy enough to let flowers bloom as they should.

no pencil shavings, just pure golden cedar.

I find it rich and well-balanced, with a smooth earthy-woody profile that never turns harsh or muddy. Performs reliably as a base material, adding depth and longevity

This raw Material has to be one of the most versatile and best smelling raw Materials.

One of the most unique product in fraterworks.. it deserves it's price

The best Creed Aventus clone ever they capture the earthy vibe unlike most clones which seem lead with a heavy dose of lemon

Consistent top quality materials. Fantastic customer service. Fast shipping even halfway around the globe. I cant speak highly enough of this company.

Fraterworks is a reliable and well-curated store for perfumery materials. Product quality is consistent, descriptions are clear, and shipping has been smooth. A great place to source both core materials and more specific aroma chemicals.
