I had time now to go back and use a currency calculator and look closer. Too cheap (what I had above), as with other offerings UFO and I had earlier turned up on the web.

For clarity on the...

Thank you!

I found appeal as I quite like the Mousse de Saxe, but I'll try Pyralone first then.

From extractions for nutraceutical purposes and just chemistry in general, and you may already know as nothing in the above suggests not:

Petroleum ether is simply a light hydrocarbons mixture...

Thank you, Bavard!

I will try later. At the moment, I had success before by websearching for some phrase I saw as being common to his chapters. I found most that way but not all, as for example I missed this one.

You don't have to figure moles, just grams or milligrams.

Agreed that trying to work in ounces, grains, dirhams, mithqals, spoonfuls, drachms etc would be nightmare.

Wow. Phenomenal article actually. Thank you!

Now I need the Symrise.

For fun (?) I decided to find the "brief" I wrote and sent Paul back in 2014 when it seemed a cosmetic client would pay for a professional Perfumer and I had started on the project but if the client...

That's what one can do when more organized and not going on too long as I do! :)

Trying to help on that as clearly you have considerable concern and I don't think anything I posted above was too useful for your concern.

Without knowing your fragrance, I can't say much but...

Agreed. Also for the benefit of the person submitting.

Of course with as many people in the world as there are, there will be some wishing to sell cheaper for...

You saw my post before the edit! :)

Which was very fast.

Yes, the price seemed alarmingly low to me too, hence the edit.

I'll put the link up again here:...

Wow!

Now that is an exotic!!!

I hope someone can help!

The offerings I find from quick websearch, nothing beyond what you have likely already done, all seem alarmingly cheap.

For the most part I think few would have been helped.

I expect the vast majority of items were from suppliers who would be unwilling to sell less than a kilo, and even if an average WLA customer...

A lot has been and is going on having nothing to do with science or good medical practice, in fact flying in the face of both, but outside the scope here.

Btw, on your original question of frequency, while this never happens to me -- or not in the last at least 20 years anyway, it's possible it may have happened some time before then when having...

Oh! Well if the accord is pure aromamaterials with no alcohol this might plausibly be normal.

Not that particular one, which would be the Vielle according to the offering and the SDS posted, which is a quality company.

Ordinarily on first addition of alcohol when diluting clary sage eo it...

Smell-O-Vision has been tried, not in homes that I know of but in movie theaters, and failed.

I don't think additional aromamaterials available now vs then would make any difference.

Sure!

Remet actually works out cheaper then. I didn't have to pay any unreasonable shipping, but a gallon is $120 from the Culinary Solvent place. Even that...

I don't know the answer to your question; I would think probably not. Some materials will dissolve directly into wax, others will require a cosolvent. But you should get a better answer from someone...

The price I paid is much cheaper per liter at liter quantity than "Perfumer's Alcohol" at Creating Perfume, and when my wife saw how much cheaper the culinary alcohol as at 5 gallons vs one gallon,...

Great deal! :)

I paid $320 ($16.93/liter) for 5 gallons of culinary (food grade) 200 proof, which also is by far the best quality vodka, once diluted, I have ever experienced. Ultra clean.
...

Yes. By far.

Do you mean, by including on the label can one then exceed specified limits?

No.

Labeling is an additional requirement rather than an optional differing path.

Very true! Glad to see your support for her. I really hope she makes it, as do we all.

I am seeing $11.85 shipping quote for a single 30 mL bottle. Of course my zip code will be different than yours which could make some difference.

Perhaps if you try again you'll get a quote...

Curious as to your reason for saying this. There is one commonly held reason, but that wouldn't have to be your reason.

That is not an obtuse way of saying I disagree, it is quite literal.

Buying cheapie materials in perfumery, and even moreso when of a wrong* type entirely such as in jojoba oil, is always a waste of money compared to either getting the right though pricier stuff, or...

For those mailing internationally...

While contents are invisible thanks to the function, I see we have our complete set now. Three out of three.

Exactly as expected.

The content I provided stands for itself and no rebuttal is...

Great post, thank you. I had never connected the dots on this effect and non-linearity of perception but now that you've said it, that's very clear.

A crummy trick would be to use a shipload of Javanol and/or various super-ambers.

I do not care for it at all but it will do as you ask for those notes.

Most aromamaterials cannot do as asked....

As mentioned there is nothing special or interesting, let alone "Key," about this blend. It is serviceable as a white musk blend though.

I wasn't quite sure of your meaning. That may be on me.

I do "rail" against what could be called incompetence but I call lack of due diligence, having said so a number of times not only now but over time.

"Mistake?"

Well that could be an opinion.

Seeing the above, it is as is so often repeated: whatever I say, the opposite is baselessly claimed for no detectable rational cause but that I said it. That's why the Ignore function is activated....

As an update, the matter is now a little more complex.

Even 0.5 percent of concentrate.

Wow.

It would be very simple to "extend" orris butter and save money compared to providing 100%.

It is possible to err by deciding that materials disliked at high concentration are to be discarded.

If the Ambrofix was correct material, and if you hate it any concentration,...

Well I was looking at Orris Butter due to another thread, seeing descriptions, and I had a sinking feeling.

The PA product is from the notorious (to me) SAS MATIÈRES PREMIÈRES ESSENTIELLES.

Btw, I see myristic acid is listed in the paper. I had actually been thinking it when reading the original post simply as being more plausible to me than Coumarin.

It's a quite nice material that...

With regard to the literature.

It seems a hard-to-get material.

I'm a noob on oud so can contribute only quite little, particularly on concentration.

Another possibility perhaps:

Not just the effort of doing the comparison, but sourcing the material, and making the bulk buy.

I imagine it is not an easy task finding the many very small distillers in the world.

One of the articles I read above discussed the issue of "natural" PEA being cheapened down with synthetic. The means mentioned in the article to detect that were sophisticated and beyond the reach of...

As to why all that DPG is not good:

While more modern formulas use less Coumarin due to IFRA restriction, quite commonly a classic perfume will use such as 5% Coumarin.

By using Coumarin...
