the opening reminded me so of profumo.it Don Corleone, its that same smoked ham scent, but here it lasts for ever, its quite linear after 30 minutes....its very nicely balanced, it feels like...
It's a long time since I owned Yardley's English Rose, I thought of it when Sa Majeste began to settle on my skin. Linear? Yes. A large bunch of Jean Ducher or Duchesse de Brabant to my nose and...
This scent sounds rather fearsome:
An animale in heat!
Methinks the beast is tamer,
As I find it rather sweet.
But since I'm fairly thrifty,
The beast did make me pounce

This was my first fragrance after I finished college and started my first job. A man I worked with said "that's not for a young girl you need something for a young girl". To me, Diorissimo...
What? "You need 6 sprays for it to last, oohh...." "It smells American" "It reminds me of a laundry gel (????)" What the F&%* is wrong with (some) reviewers here? Are you this kind of snobbish...
I know that some of the aldehydes come in solid form and it is advised to mix them in alcohol for storage, but if I want to use an oil base, e.g. fractionated coconut oil, will these solids mix with such oil bases?
If the aldehydes you are using are solid they have gone "off". I can't think of many aldehydes used in perfumery that are solid (Vanillin and Ethyl Vanillin come to mind). Aldehydes are quite polar so you may have problems dissolving them in Coconut Oil.
Firstly, check your supplier, and get a better quality material. Secondly try using iso Propyl Myristate or Diethyl Phthalate as a solvent for your aldehydes.
Most perfumery materials are sold by weight, rather than volume; both liquids and solids. I don't know for sure butI am guessing that using IPM as a solvent, you could dilute your aromachemicals, and then put them into an oil base.
