Not that we haven't had headspace results before, but one that's new to me. This is for Calcutta Single:

Methyl benzoate 504.2±62.48
Methyl salicylate 227.5±7.07
Benzyl salicylate 241.3±7.77 ...

Some GC/MS figures posted I simply cannot believe.

I am not doubting the posters were provided the figures, but the figures (or interpretations) themselves.

The Essential Oils University Database is pretty good.

Eden Botanicals, Plant Therapy, and HBNO often have excellent GC/MS reports, commonly more detailed than the above.

:)

I'm glad it helped!

Thank you for that recommendation!

Btw I see the Polish shop has Tonquitione. And not to beat a dead horse but there have been and are huge issues with regard to US-retailed Tonquitone so this...

Other than that it is also called clovanyl-3-formate, which TGSC doesn't mention, I know nothing on it but thought that having the more common name might help.

What then if a US retailer buys from them and has no quality inspection? They, by their own account, perform no GC/MS even though they own one, nor send out for analysis, and by their own account...

Specifically, ethyl phenylacetate, ethyl hexanoate, and ethyl octanoate I do not expect in rose absolute. For example they are not in any of the ones in the the Essential Oils University database....

I will have to look at the original manufacturer's CoA (not PA's redacted version) to be specific on why I don't find it consistent with anything but a recon.

Maybe "locking" could be this:

I don't myself do formulas with mindless fillers such as Galaxolide 200, Hedione 200, Iso-E Super 150, Methyl Ionone 150 and then everything else fits into just 300...

Hopefully it will!

As for knocking myself out, seriously, I don't find it the slightest bit of trouble to not order from Perfumer's World.

Someone can probably tell you better but I will have a column that totals to whatever it totals to, and then a column adjacent to that which divides according to the sum of that column,

The bottles sound the same. They do indeed look like they shouldn't leak, but they have for not just myself.

PW Perfumer's World, or PW Pell Wall?

When I have ordered from Pell Wall, while the shipping has been pricey the delivery time has been quick.

Indeed. Shipping can be nightmarish and is another example of the totally uneven playing field. The big boys with their lobbying and other power get taxpayer-subsidized USPS shipping and great rates...

I actually got interested in longifolene only this morning, out of seeing it is a component of Oakmoss Givco, and seeing interesting claimed organoleptics of sweet woody rose...

The Ylang is under the nature-identical. It's not represented as being pure ylang oil, but a mix of "essential oils, absolutes, and aromachemicals."

The Neroli is under the "Absolutes" section...

Coincidentally twice now in 2 days I have come across this site having otherwise unobtainium (for the mortal) items:

Certainly. One can also put in parentheses the better known name that the product compares to.

Another way is to give synonyms on the side.

Both PSH and PA manage this fine. It is not hard.

OUCH!!!!! :laugh:

It does seem many times too cheap.

I see they use the less-reputable-retailers trick of keeping from you any of the original documentation, providing only their own.

For example, the price...

Not really. SDS's ordinarily give ranges which can be pretty broad, such as 2-5 times or even 10 times, such as 0.1-1%.

On occasion SDS values are fairly precise, but that's more the exception...

Some of the formulas may be awful for this reason.

Those numbers are fractions of the total.

For example say the total is 1000. It doesn't have to be, it could be different.

Then the "140 Alpha Ionone" means that ingredient is 140/1000 of the...

On Cassis Base being a mixture:

Also vetiverol, I learned recently, is very much a mix of things rather than being anything like a particular molecule.

I think Shangralide is a mixture too.

Who is selling this?

Neither Vigon nor Ventos distribute it, that I can find.

I am not the best for talking about what constitutes "heart" vs top or base, but I would call the Terpeneless at the more lasting end of top or the shorter lasting end of mid.

Certainly much less...

It sure as heck does.

Ordinarily it is not needed.

It can be there for varying reasons. One could be that the aromamaterials have nice round values already and add to near 1000, and rather than adjust them to get a...

Thank you, Marwan! That means a lot especially from you. I certainly had high expectations on seeing what you were planning and from Bavard's findings your perfume did indeed do very well!

Thank you, Will! Your taking the time and lending your expertise is very much appreciated!

Several of what you said, I had not thought of at all but now that you have, I see what you mean....

It would be relatively difficult. Column chromatagraphy perhaps, or possibly as there is some slight solubility of heliotropin in water, shaking against a relatively large volume of water and then...

On top of this, DPG could easily be removed from the heliotropin if desired, as it is miscible with water while heliotropin is very little soluble.

It is no Heliotropin replacement, IMO. Or at any rate I felt not.

On PA's Heliotropin, it is indeed a shame they went to the mere 20 percent strength.

Yeah, I just can't take it as anything other than an utter BS story, and further, one that could be told only on the assumption that I was really stupid.

In the meantime do try open bottle work, it's (IMO anyway) great and consumes essentially nothing while providing learning and enjoyment.
