This base, being at once approachable, transformative, and a more affordable alternative, does indeed take the pressure out of experimenting. Its dynamism is eminent. Lovely creature, I’m coming back for more!
What a lovely surprise this was! I was intending to use this as a light melon note in a fragrance, but was shocked to find how versatile it is. I've used it with success in all sorts of fern, forest, vegetal, fruity, and aquatic notes. It can work in traces to add an open freshness, or it can be used in larger amounts to impart a verdant scent of new growth and slightly underripe fruit.
I had high expectations from this compound, after reading all the positive articles online. But in my honest opinion. Its a rather underwhelming less fragrant Patchouli EO scent variant.
This sandalwood takes its time open, but when it does it is sublime. Smooth, gentle and sweet. It is way more complex than the New Caledonian sandalwood.
I have bergamot oil from other places and this oil is just superior in every way!
I love the new 'modern' formulation of GIT on its own. But smelling this original version makes the new one smell so synthetic in comparison. I still love the modern version, but this gives a more fleshed out natural view of the fragrance. Give it time to develop, there are some sea notes in here that need to work their way through, but WOW what a masterpiece!
This Foin Coupé base is incredible. A perfume on its on. I keep sampling it for my own enjoyment.
This is an essential oil that I fell in love with at first smell, sharing similar fresh notes with vetiver while possessing OUD unique woody character.
exhibits earthy and damp woody characteristics.
This is truly a quality product that only nature and Jamie can put together.. Everyone should definitely try it. And he will be satisfied. Thanks for making this creation available to everyone!
This one jumps out of the bottle and fills the air with delight, transporting me to the Comoros! A definite reorder for me and a fine example of its kind. Much appreciation to Jamie and his team for curating what has so far been hit after hit on these naturals. I cannot wait to work with this material. Relative to my other grades, this embarrasses them.
Easy reach. Bright, fresh, with a light floral facet. The best FCF bergamot I have tried.
Exploring Fraterworks perfume ingredients and experimenting with the perfume demo formulas has taught me so much. It is fascinating how different violet leaf products can make such a difference.
I made a Patou 1000 demo using the signature violet and it created this intense green leatheriness. This violet leaf from grasse sits more in the background and allows the florals to shine. It is smoother, not leathery, and guides the perfume composition into a more refined, relaxed direction.
I love both effects and can choose which direction I want to go.
As an aside, I always hear about the oakmoss in reviews of 1000, but what they are describing is actually the violet leaf. Curious why it isn't used more with the oakmoss bans.
This is my Go-to frankincense for any formulas, I love blending it everywhere I can... It's an essential material to have in a perfumer's palette. Deep, versatile and divine incense scent, no off notes here, only pure bliss for frankincense lovers.
Ambergris is bizarre in its ability to be both utterly rank and utterly captivating, and this recreation base has that in spades. Performance in my formulas so far is good, with it helping to deepen scent and provide a softening and uplifting effect as expected. Very easy to work with, and well worth having in the organ.
Even though I use this oil in small amounts in my perfumes, I want to use the best quality. Other oils I've tried in the past weren't as clean and bright as this one. This is my go to now.
Amazing lemon quality. A wonderful and truly natural lemon scent. If it is used outside of Ifra, it is the number one lemon for me and I definitely recommend it to everyone to try.
This co2 extract perfectly captures the photorealistic smell of coffee and cafe. Don't need a lot of words to describe it. From top to drydown, It's just a cup of coffee. As the demonstration formula shows, this is powerful yet delicate so you don't need to dose a bucket.
Definitely the best quality I’ve come across in my search for Ambroxan.
