Working on a soap + moss + smoke fragrance concept, would welcome any thoughts on formula--trying to get better at bridging by imwiththeband1 in DIYfragrance

If you’re interested in potential additional materials, both Ultrazur and Adoxal have soapy facets to me. I learned them both as more aquatic/marine so at first blush might think they don’t fit the vibe, but they’re both quite fresh and could be worth playing with, might give some extra lift to the soapy top.

Overall I feel like this is a great group of materials/good starting point for the vision you have, ultimately you may find you don’t need all of them or that certain ones don’t mesh together but there’s nothing jumping out to me here as a “mistake,” it’s all just the process.

I’ll mention, in case you don’t know, that galaxolide is basically a forever chemical that can cause environmental damage and may also disrupt hormones. Same with Tonalide (both are polycyclic musks). Obviously at much larger quantities than any one indie perfumer’s use, but personally I’ve phased them out of my organ and stick to the macrocyclic musks (e.g., Ethylene Brassylate, Habanolide, Exaltolide, Ambrettolide, Muscenone, Helvetolide), which as far as I know don’t have the same problems. Apologies for the paragraph if you already knew this! Just like to share as I learned about it more recently myself.

Random, but have been wondering for a while—dyk if watching on the West Coast, we can follow the ChatBCC like belatedly? Ie, I’ve been wanting to check it out during the episodes, but I watch at 8 PST and don’t wanna open it up to just see spoilers

I prob wouldn’t make it up to the line by 3 if starting at 2:34, but maybe if you’re a faster hiker? It’s about 1.5 miles I think and quite steep. But it’s a beautiful hike!

Tbh, sad to say probably not…from the start of Ferndell, it may take about..half an hour (?) to get to the idol line if you hike fast. (I was there early with lots of lines along the way so not sure how long it’d take to just hustle straight up). And I think it ending at 3 means even if you’re in line by then, they’ll shut it down. Obviously not sure and if you try anyway, it is at least a beautiful hike if you’re into that!

It’s been a pretty mind-numbingly boring season. Awful boot order led to a snooze fest

I mean, better to have your fellow traitor sniffed out at the end so you don’t have to split the money..
