I have experimented now for a few years with natural and synthetic perfume ingredients. One of my main challenges is to find base components that have excellent longevity. To that end, I would love to hear of your findings on base notes. I have no prejudice regarding natural or synthetic, I would just like to see what you find to be the longest lasting aroma compounds.
Let me start this out by listing a few compounds that have excellent longevity in blends for me:
Ethyl vanillin
Oak moss (natural and synthetic)
Bicyclononalactone (a tonka substitute)
And even though florals all seem to be heart notes, I find ylang ylang to last a good long time.
What do you find to have the very best longevity in your perfume blends?
