how much would you charge for a custom fragrance?

There are people interested in purchasing a one-of-a-kind fragrance from me, as they know that this is something I study and am invested in. What do you think I should charge for a custom fragrance? Let’s say there are two price points- one version where they tell me what they like and they receive nothing but the final product, and another version where it’s more hands-on, and the customer can be more specific and receive multiple trials before we agree on something they like.

pyrazines vs pyridines, and any others?

I'm looking to purchase some "Maillard reaction"-esque aromachemicals but I'm confused by the difference between Acetyl Pyridine and Acetyl Pyrazine- not to mention other related compounds like pyrroline, pyrimidine, and pyridazine. Googling will only tell me the differences in molecular structure, but not how that relates to fragrance. Is one more stable or viable than the other? Do you have experience tying chemistry into perfumery?

best toner for bleached blonde on me?

I just bought a 613 human hair wig and I’m trying to figure out what toner would be best with my skin tone (likely one by Wella). This is a pic of me from about 3 years ago with my actual hair bleached- I used Bronzed Wheat by Ion, which is now discontinued. I do like the idea of icy platinum blonde, but I don’t know if it’s actually right for me!

To add- my current best skin product matches are Ilia’s foundation stick in 12N, and Kosas concealer in 2.3N, if that’s helpful :-)

Cocoa material sold at wildly different price points, why is that?

I’m still a newbie so there could very well be something I’m not understanding here. I’m looking at the Cocoa Essence on Perfumers Apprentice and the Cocoa Resinoid on Fraterworks and the latter is far more expensive, despite having the same CAS#. Are they different somehow? It also looks like PA's cocoa essence is undiluted, unless I'm just not versed on how to read their website yet.

I've linked them below because I, for some reason, cannot link through text.

I have an iPhone and this new update is god awful. My account page is basically useless now, and I can’t find the proper section for my orders! I can only see updates on my recent ones through messages, instead of a dedicated section with order history. Please help
