    This is the famous opoponax base beloved by Coty and used in L'Origan and Chypre. Additionally it was used in numerous perfumes by Guerlain, including an early formula of Jicky. Opoponax Doux is a wonderfully balanced and rich amber base loaded with all the finest resins balanced with the perfect dose of fresh citrus oils and sweet vanilla.

    The historic opoponax type base is a little confusing because "opoponax" is also the name of a resin used in perfume. However, opoponax bases are a type of ambreine base - artful blends of vanilla, citrus, resins and other luxurious naturals. The main difference is that opoponax bases are narcotic while ambreine bases are erogenous. This means they are synergistic.

    Combinations of Opoponax Doux and Ambreine are found through many historic perfumes and were particular favourites of Coty and Guerlain. This opoponax base is very similar to the other historic base Balsamol.

    General Information

    Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.

    All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.

    Great starting amber for orientals

    The amber is layered with vanilla powder and citrus notes. The blend is very synergistic altogether which for a starting base isn't all too bad. It'll be very addicitng to reach out to this base or even just to sniff. Tame the sweetness with woods like cedarwood or exhault it with Himalayan Cedarwood oil with its petrol,vanilla,cinnamon nuances. Go for a full Oriental blend with Lemon, Orange Blossoms, Neroli, Patchouli, Spices, and Animusk.

    Make a 5%-8% dilution and wear it to really study the material and the effect that is has on the skin. You won't regret it.

    A beauty brought back from a very long sleep

    Genius reproduction. Simply glorious. Opoponax Doux, together with Ambreine Samuelson, constitute in my opinion the soul of vintage Shalimar. Opoponax and Ambreine are meant to go hand in hand. Their synergy is magical, is perfection, reason why we find it over and over again throughout the perfumery of the golden era. Extensively used by Guerlain and Coty, but also Caron. Thank you Jamie for reviving these treasures from the past! ...Note aside: Opoponax Doux is a 100% timeless wonder of perfume art that will always be relevant. Although conceived over one hundred years ago, this beauty doesn't have a single wrinkle!
