Can you guys please provide me with feedback?
Hello people,
This is my very first perfume of this complexity. I’m on the 16th iteration and I’m wondering when it’s gonna end/ if I can even create what I imagined.
The idea was an orange/ mandarin forward floral with a warm cocoa-esque base. It’s supposed to feel fresh, light floral and diffusive. But warm.
I have tested it at markets and everyone says it’s finished but I feel like I’m getting some sharpness that feels a little nauseating in the first 2-5 mins? But all my customers don’t seem to smell it so I’m not sure if I just personally don’t like it. Anyways here’s the formula. Please tell me if you think it’s balanced.
15% perfume concentrate diluted in alcohol
Magnificent Mandarin - 3.5%
Linalool- 1.5%
Pink pepper (10%) - 0.8%
Nectarate - 1%
Bergamot Reggio - 3.3%
Petigrain manderinder-0.5%
Hedione - 20%
Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol- 3%
Frankincense Somalia - 5.5%
Ambrette seed (10%) - 3%
Linalyl acetate - 5%
Isobutyl phenyl acetate - 0.7%
(Fraterworks)Heliotropin replacer - 1%
cashmeran- 3%
Benzyl salicylate 3%
Kephalis- 1%
Iso E Super - 17.6%
Cocoa absolute (5%)- 0.7%
Ambrettolide (10%)- 6%
Benzoin Siam resinoid (50%) - 2.5%
Labdanum clear (50%) - 2.5%
cocoa hexanal (10%) - 0.7%
ambroxan crystals 4.2%
Methyl ionone gamma coeur -1%
Chocovan - 3%
ethyl vanillin (20%) - 0.7%
Coumarin (10%) - 0.7%
Alpha angelica lactone -0.3%
ebanol- 2%
Isobutavan- 1.5%
Sweet orange oil terpene less - 0.8%
If I was to make version 17 I would maybe reduce some bergamot, linalool and maybe linalyl acetate? Would you guys agree with that direction or should I just leave it.
Thanks!
