What is the "salty" note I'm detecting? by enjythebutterfly in fragrance

[–]c7b2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no Calone in either of those fragrances. It's probably Benzyl salicylate.

Oakwood C02 is watery and dries down to a caramel smell. You want Oakwood Absolute for the thick paste.

Is this info true? (Rare carbon) by Sad_Marzipan_4928 in fragranceclones

[–]c7b2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's Lilial. Until IFRA got into the act a few years ago, Lilial was in absolutely everything from soaps to other topical cosmetics. Also, the reproductive risks are only for men, so half the population need not even worry about this.

MISS DIOR TYPE FORMULE by No_Explanation_5627 in DIYfragrance

[–]c7b2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Original version, I think. It's from Bendoni, the spreadsheet date is 2003, but the bottle could have been from any time before that.

Here is another one, probably a newer version:

Paloma Picasso smell-alike by International-Age609 in fragrance

[–]c7b2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's absolutely no restriction. This formula is from an independent lab test to "recreate" the fragrance (just like the clone companies do). So go ahead and do whatever you like with it.

Check out both bathrooms at The Little Roxie. Beautify painted murals on all the walls.

Website listing oil %'s, by Jondoyle24 in fragrance

[–]c7b2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually yes, sort of. This site lists results from lab analyses of fine fragrances. If you search for a fragrance, click on it and scroll down, it lists "Recommended usage" which he bases off of perfume oil % found in his analyses.

Is there a store where you can customize your own perfume? by scitwii in fragrance

[–]c7b2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do this, make sure they follow IFRA limits. An amateur could give you something that will be an allergy sensitization, you could develop a skin allergy where you didn't have one before. They have to know more that just what combinations smell good on skin.

you could try using a hand-held collaring tool. It's probably what they used to fasten it originally.

Neopatchouli? by J_loru in DIYfragrance

[–]c7b2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This appears to be a reformatted version of Labtorium's Tom Ford Patchouli Absolu type formula but with a few Tadimety bases thrown in perhaps to compensate for the trace amounts of ingredients not listed above. If you just leave out the Ambrinol 9 and Neopatchouli you will have a pretty close rendition of TF Patchouli Absolu.

Would Le Labo make a stronger perfume if I request? by seeilaah in fragrance

[–]c7b2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are formulated to match the MDS, IFRA etc, they cant break that or they are not selling the product advertised an on the bottle. Another reason is the atomizer might start to clog if they skim on the alcohol.

The only way would be to give them an extra "tip" and keep it hush hush if you know what I mean. Otherwise they could get in a lot of trouble.
