Osmoz, Les Coulisses Du Parfum Olfactory Kits?

Hi everyone! Brand new to the board.

I was wondering if anyone had personally experienced and experimented with the Olfactory Kits (Vol. I-V) that are available for purchase from osmoz.com? I'm looking to broaden my expansion of recognizing and picking out particular notes for various fragrances and thought that perhaps this might be a beneficial way to achieve that.

Thoughts? Reviews? Are there any other kits out there that may prove to be superior to these?

Thanks!

I have to admit that I have I-III, but haven't even opened them yet. Like most long-time BNers, I'm so backlogged on samples, investigations, reviews, and other olfactory projects, that I end up just sniffing things as needed. I'm actually looking forward to sniffing those kits soon - maybe I'll move them to the top of my list and do them before the end of the summer. I want to give them a full weekend just for initial opening ceremony. I know it sounds weird, but I need lots of uninterrupted brain time for sniffing things seriously, and I want to review those kits seriously.

Consider also some kits from the Perfumer's Apprentice, as well as getting a custom list of components from both there and from Eden Botanicals. I found those to be very useful in an earlier project.

I certainly think those osmoz kits are worthwhile - I wouldn't have forked out for them if they weren't. I just can't report on them quite yet....
