Beautiful almost savoury smoked incense. This is almost perfume in itself. Highly recommended
I can't find Filbertone anywhere else- this material alone is well well worth ordering from fraterworks. Strong even at 1%. Smells like the green, almost bitter unmistakeable part of a hazelnut that is the absolute key to making a hazelnut accord. I own almost every aromachem out there and this is by far one of the most spectacular.
I have been looking for a material that embodied the joys of being poolside or ocean side and this definitely hits that in the head!!! Its sweet, its suntans, its sunscreen, its summer air. Its absolutely beautiful!!! Only regret is not buying a much bigger bottle!!!
Phenomenal! Precision is key when creating using Sotolone. My office still smells like Sotolone nearly two weeks after having used it in a formulation.
This is a must have for incense lovers — lots of complexity and blends so well with woody and resinous materials. In my opinion no organ is complete without it
This is a beautiful jasmine and what I use in a formula with rave reviews. It is extremely potent and a little goes a long, long way. So, while it seems expensive in pure form, the amount you actually use is so small that the cost is reasonable.
Such a beautiful, intense jasmine scent. I can't wait to use it in my first formulas!
Isobutavan, to my nose, has a light vanilla scent and a light white chocolate heart. In a standalone formulation, it may not be intense enough to be fully appreciated without a real overdose. However, it can also be used to add a more delicate sweetness to some floral accords without the risk of covering the lighter nuances, as a more intense vanilla would do. Used as a base or raw material for an accord and combined with other "chocolatey" materials, lactones and vanilla, it will acquire more presence.
Mint can be tricky to work with but this is a pure, clean, and easy-going spearmint note. Like all mint, it is fleeting, but its impression while present is distinctly cooling, soothing, and smooth. It's entered the small list of oils I keep around outside the lab to sniff just because they're nice and balanced on their own - specifically, a little vial of it lives next to my front door to sniff on the way out as a little minor perk of freshness.
Blending wise, lacks the higher camphor-and-soil note of many mint notes as it evaporates off, so good for clean mints rather than patchouli-mint accords (unless you're doing clean patchoulyl but that's another story.) Perhaps slightly thin in body as a result, but in a way that leans more towards transparency than underwhelmingness.
This bring luxury to my fragrance i had to order more.
This smells amazing. I managed to get 15g of this. It smells so good, but I'm so reluctant to use it in any of my fragrances because I don't want to run out of this. It's wild, sensual and beautifully animalic, add so much depth in floral compositions specially Rose forward fragrances
This blue lotus base is pure brilliance. It's so good, I had to come write another review about it, which has nothing to do with the fact that I wrote the first one in the wrong place. Bertrand Duchaufour did a remarkable job with this, and I'm one to know. I'm a verifiable Nymphaea Caerulea expert. Well done, Frater Fam!
Tender Woody smell as a good extender of all woody notes
The CO2 extract has more of a fuller body than the other one, this one has like a more greenish opening before getting to the peppery.
This is the best web site -I have ever visited. Ingredients discription with CAS. number, INCI name, Country of origin, IFRA details and TEC dilution. Pricing is very competitive. Easy to check out ......
This one is addicting. I am not a super amber fan but this has a fullness that makes it easier on the senses than say an amberxtreme. Full bodied dry woods with a touch of sweetness -- has to be smelled!
