AIMS
Working more on blends for my first fragrance Super Base. Which I want to have ready by the end of the year.
THEMES
Sweet, marine, sensual.
STRENGTH
16.4% (EDP)
NOTES
I started with a healthy dose of Iso E Super. To this I added some florhydral. This was a very nice and pleasant floral/woody aroma with outdoor nuances.
I wanted to shake things up a little bit and so I added some methyl latione in order to tease out some of its mouthwatering coconut aroma (it is the summer time after all). I also added some dihydro myrcenol and ethyl linalool, both of which have lime/bergamot citrus nuances which I wanted to compliment the coconut. This gave a very sophisticated lime and coconut aroma which I could not stop smelling!
I decided to dirty it up a bit by adding some styrallyl acetate for its musty rhubarb notes and a good measure of the rose smelling phenethyl alcohol. I keep coming back to smell this blend and it is odd bc there is an earthy nuttiness but there is also a very clean bergamot.
I decided to add some vanillin crystals hoping that they would round the fragrance out a bit. This turned the overall fragrance into a vanilla bomb. Whatever. I decided to add it to my frankenfume which was smelling like dill and cucumber. I thought the sweetness might be nice.
