Fresh citrus, sweet , woody, ethereal florals and very subtle spice.
It's quiet and lovely. There's milkiness, there's some woody smokiness. It's exactly as described, more of a building block thank a strong sandalwood base.
We refer to this in the lab as 'perfume crack' white, crystalline, costly but oh so addictive! This is not as costly as it once was, and my and I are clients are very happy. Maybe it's the Ambrofix we're sniffing ;)
This is the best ambrette extract I’ve ever come across. Unlike the chocolatey, animalic dustiness often found in the solvent-extracted absolute, this one has an ethereal-fruity and waxy note reminiscent of fresh pear, with the muskiness coming through quite prominently. Even when diluted, it remains incredibly powerful. If you’re a fan of ambrette-based fragrances like Le Cri or Ambrette 9, this is the one you need.
excellent material, see dark purple color when smelling, sweet finish, coumarin-like, combines very well with cocoa notes and coffee.
One of the best affordable natural rose. Way better than I thought.
If you're a fan of 'golden age' fragrance or just curious to study the complexity and beauty of traditional bases, this is a must have material. It is as described but I'd also add that it has a sense of almost tactile texture to it such as a delicate embroidery on the soft satiny folds of a vintage gown. It is a key player in a few of my vintage creations but I plan to use it in more contemporary accords - great for adding complexity and depth to white florals.
Once you smelled it, it ties into so many niche fragrances out there. This is an outstanding purchase to make when considering a musk material.
The scent is Fleur de Cuir, which I find perfectly echoes this feeling:
Strong animalistic scent, rough yet elegant leather scent, deep wood tone,
and layers upon layers of intricate aromas.
i need to make a perfume around it this is my first impression when i smelled it
It‘s beautiful smoked ham note, presumably typical for vetiver of Reunion and it‘s substantivity making the difference.
I have been using Ambroxide and Ambrox Super in my perfumes, but since I tried Orcanox, it has become my favorite material for its scent and longevity.
While I purchased this to add historical authenticity and an evocation of perfumes past, it brings complexity and sophistication to white florals. Not just for vintage accords!
I am really glad that this product is available for purchase here. I can't imagine making cologne and just using plain distilled water. This is the right product that should be part of every true cologne!
I love this this mix. I get notes of ambergris and woods as well as a subtle sandalwood. Very diffusive and fills the room.
"Musky" in the sense of how some tropical fruit scents that are not overly sparkling and more dense are described (like musk melon), not that it smells like real musks to me. Think of Jackfruit vs. pineapple. As someone grown among pineapple fields this may not be my choice for a single 3D pineapple accord if I want to be a purist, but I think it will be very useful to add interesting tropical fruit notes. Its floral juicyfruit gum notes makes me think this would be very good in realistic champaca flower reconstitutions. In fact, it reminds me a lot the smell of banana flowers (Michelia figo) and other members of the genus Michelia like alba and champaca of course, now placed in genus Magnolia by taxonomists. I think it would be great as a building block to other exotic tropical fruit reconstitutions like Jackfruit, Monstera, Zapote etc...and of course to build further a more sparkling realistic pineapple note.
I really enjoy the way this is somehow quite and load at the same time. A true gem. Thank you.
A beautiful opoponax base. Sweet and vanillic but rich and complex.
This is the original, often imitated but never duplicated until now. Freshly mixed, this is a fresh scent with little projection, but have patience. After sitting for two weeks it begins to take on great depth. I'm at one month and projection and longevity are excellent. Can't stop smelling my skin all day after putting this on!
I was enamored with the orange blossom water sold here so I just had to get this!
While the IFRA limit is low, this to my nose is harsh on paper even at a 1% dilution.
This nearly blew my head off when I first sniffed it from the bottle, it's so impactful. It starts out as very strong whiskey then turns more to dried fruit in the dry down. Lovely.
An absolute master piece, a niche piece of art alone on its own
