It is very simple to make several Schiff's Bases; that is what I was trying to point out. The only problem is removing the water that is produced, and there are ways around that. If you can buy several obscure Aromachemicals and Essential Oils I am sure it is not beyond your capability to get hold of some anhydrous Sodium Sulphate.
If you think that the Schiff's Base smells like the two original chemicals used, then it means you have not made the Base properly. A Schiff's Base lasts much longer, and is a Base note supreme. It is also a fixative. Schiff's Bases are try useful, and are worth exploring.
