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!
