So, I have been experimenting with some EOs I picked up a little over a year ago to see what kind of fragrance I can make. So far most of my stuff has been pretty simple (blends of oakmoss, bergamot, leather, cinnamon, etc) and I would like to try my hand at a dirtier fragrance as dirty fragrances are kind of my thing. I tried something with a cumin oil, and I was disappointed, I didn't get dirty from it at all. I thought I might try Civet or Castoreum, but thought I would see if there were any specific recommendations from you guys. Also, are there any good books that are aimed more at the hobbyist, but that venture in to some detail about using aroma molecules without getting overly technical/chemistry heavy? Thanks for any help!

I cannot imagine doing a mint note any better than the one in this Heeley. It's neither toothpasty or overly leafy/herbal (e.g Roadster). I reach for this all the time, though I tend to wear it...

Sel Marin - a realistic of an interpretation of the ocean; and by that I mean, all the positive traits. There is a strong citrus note, salty ocean water, and even a green seaweed/algae type...

OK... I scarcely smell any of the notes this stuff is supposed to contain, just vanilla/tonka bean. If Le Male were reformulated to appeal to the nursing home demographic I imagine it'd come out...
