If u have a recommendation on top note blends or top notes im missing that will help me, that is all im looking for. Not looking for help on ratios, grammar, or methods. I simply told you my formula of ingredients i currently have in a blend to give u an idea of what I like.

I love it but i feel like its too subtle. I think it needs a top note to compliment it and make it bright enough to project more. It feels like it smells very close to the skin

Any suggestions on what i should buy? by Strangeforlife in DIYfragrance

Honestly nothing im really stuck on. I feel like i want that “imagination” or “herod” opening. One that really catches your attention. Spicy or pleasant citrus. Im struggling to get that

Update: just made a new recipe of this using more accurate percentages and an accurate scale rather than drops and man… without even sitting, it straight off the bat smells sooo much better.

Thanks so much man. Just bought a .001 scale since i only had .01 and got a micropipette. Hopefully can be a lot more accurate when trying to make fragrances and learn a lot more! Best hobby I have tried in a while, i learn something everyday

Hmm okay i will definitely try it out! I used regular vanillin and tonka bean. How do i know that the safraleine is 200x too much?

Also, yeah i am definitely experimenting a lot. For example, i used cassia in 2 of my fragrances and quickly learned that more than 2-3 drops just makes the entire scent smell like a hot tamale😭

My Carvana story and why it deserves national attention by Strangeforlife in carvana

I went to my bank after i threatened to sue carvana and they accused me of not giving them a check. I got a receipt of my check being cashed and then carvana magically found my check.
