Some favourite new materials

Finally received a batch of new materials today, in small (5g) quantities as I find that's the easiest and most cost-effective way to explore the plethora of materials out there.

I had a sniff session just now, and wanted to show some love to some materials that are new to my nose.

  • Tropicalia 10% DPG
    • Divine, so fruity and rich. I think it could pair really nicely with Osmanthus.
  • Passifloran 1% DPG
    • Just like a ripe passionfruit!
  • Isobutavan
    • Smells so delicious, I can see how many gourmand possibilities can be unlocked with this material
  • Hindinol
    • Sandalwood-y as the description implies, but reportedly used as a top note. It's really nice. Going to try combine it with some lactones and see where that goes.

Happy formulating, DIYfragrance community!

Amanita muscaria, two different colours, Cape Town South Africa.

Found this morning under Pinus radiata. Don’t see this very often!
