Most Outrageous Ingredient You've Ever Encountered

post #1 of 11
Thread Starter 
So, it turns out on closer inspection that "black orris" and "black sandalwood" are real things that exist in the world. But what is the most totally outrageous, over-the-top or clearly fabricated fragrance note / ingredient you've ever seen claimed in a perfume PR blurb or notes pyramid?

comme des garçons has some pretty over the top notes, like meteorite and magma in stephen jones for example:

for outrageous, I'd say oud in many note pyramids.

I have always been intrigued by CdG's 'dust on a lightbulb' - must check that one out at some point.
