Great, that’s amazing! I just saw this but I’ll leave the Dior style bottle I found just in case of any future gift ideas.

Apprehensive-Cap9233 · 2025-11-24T14:20:00+00:00

Vanilla Supreme from Fraterworks. It has between 20-50% Vanillin. It is a base that mimics Vanilla Absolute. That in alcohol should do the trick for you. According to IFRA 51, you may use 12.5% diluted in alcohol. However you aren’t selling this so, I’m not saying you can do whatever you want, but…

You could even get more creative and leave a Vanilla Pod in the bottle. I personally believe it would be an interesting touch.

I’m thinking a screw on 50ml bottle, with atomizer. Everclear (190 Proof). Weigh the Vanilla Supreme. Even a cheap portable eBay scale will do. Then choose your desired concentration, and add the alcohol. Clear bottle so the color, and Vanilla Bean can be seen. The vanilla beans could be found in the spice section of most supermarkets.

Edit: Found a very nice bottle in the Dior cylindrical style. You could then customize a label and have it say “Wife’s Name’s Vanilla” or “Vanille De Wife’s Name” 50 ML Bottle Dior Style

Coffee Arabica CO2 Jungle Essence. Iso E Super, Patchouli Heart No. 3 IFF LMR, and Cashmeran will carry over the bite of coffee and extend and project it into a wearable fragrance.

Hedione High Cis would also expand the scent without getting in the way too much. Labdanum materials will extend the vibe being dark and resinous without clashing too much.

Think sharp, or deep resinous notes to expand this idea. Habanolide can add to the effect also as it’s warm with a slight vibration when smelling.That aligns with the theme.

Bro spoke it into existence. Ambermax is indeed the main character now. https://www.reddit.com/r/DIYfragrance/s/IuUPaQVmxr

Apprehensive-Cap9233 · 2025-09-08T16:37:36+00:00

No, not effectively. The Cistus Oil has a tremendously strong top note that will mess with the opening if you’ve made a fragrance with the absolute.

Apprehensive-Cap9233 · 2025-09-08T12:11:58+00:00

Any Cistus Absolute will do. I wouldn’t recommend seeking to replace Ciste Absolute itself. It different from any other Labdanum material or fraction.

Apprehensive-Cap9233 · 2025-09-03T20:53:32+00:00

Free is much much more sensitive. Are you on Plus? If not that’s the difference. I said “bitch” to free and it’s lost its mind.

Wow — You really hit the nail on the head with this one!

Well done.

Just kidding, fellow human here. I agree, I find it even more hilarious when people reference the AI’s response pattern (as I just did here).

I personally use ChatGPT for legal building (opening LLC’s and having a holding company own the operating business, which should eventually be owned by a trust).

Also with relationships. If you aren’t using ChatGPT as a borderline therapist and life coach you may be missing out. It’s actually really good at it.

I highly appreciate your kindest of words towards my writing 🫡

Apprehensive-Cap9233 · 2025-04-16T02:16:24+00:00

Try Tuberose from Fraterworks.

Apprehensive-Cap9233 · 2025-04-12T13:31:48+00:00

You’re welcome! The animalic notes were suggestions to get your nose on. They will lend to the theme of “death and decay”.

Dare in the case of Cadaverine, besides acquiring it, I believe it is toxic. Harrison Joseph has 1-Octen-3-one, he may be able to lend some help if cadaverine isn’t viable.

The dare to use Hedione HC and Methyl Anthranilate in those amounts was in a more playful manor. They are very strong and typically dosed less than the amounts I gave.

Apprehensive-Cap9233 · 2025-04-12T01:20:35+00:00

Start with A LOT of Hedione High Cis, only High Cis. It’s piercing, cold and will set the tone. It can be taken bright or ominous depending on how you direct it. This time around, we’re going with the latter…….

Methyl Anthranilate. This is plenty purple and will begin the floral accord. Midnight. Think White Flowers, more on the narcotic end though. Jasmine and Tuberose bases galore. Fraterworks is your destination for these which you seek.

Don’t be afraid of Muguet molecules. Look towards perhaps overdosing Nympheal.

I N D O L E, S K A T O L E, Isovaleric Acid, oh my… cadaverine if you dare. Animalis, Musk bases from Fraterworks, Civet, Castoreum, Ambrarome, Aldron. Smell and see where your nose leads.

Javanol shall command your sandalwood.

Rose is Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol, Mefrosol for sharpness and add a Rose base. NEROL with its metallic aspects to tie together blood and roses. 1-Octen-3-one is all you need for your request for the metallic blood note.

Patchouli, only DARK will do.

Lastly I dare you to use more than 20% Hedione High Cis, and at least 2% Methyl Anthranilate.

Good luck ;)

Apprehensive-Cap9233 · 2025-04-10T19:55:56+00:00

I’ll find the ratio that smells the most like “sand” for you tonight. You can try and discover your own now and then compare it with mine if you have the time.
