This single material study kit contains some of the most widely used ingredients in perfumery. Each sample in the study kit is 2 ml and comes with 10 fragrance testing strips.
Iso E Super
Dilution: 20%
Longevity: Middle to base note
Profile: Woody, ambergris
One of the most important materials in modern perfumery. First discovered in 1973, Iso E did not see mainstream usage until the late 1980s. Iso E is sort of an enigmatic odor, containing facets of cedar, ambergris, patchouli, vetiver, and an olfactive aura and texture that is uniquely its own.
Habanolide
Dilution: 20%
Longevity: Base note
Profile: Sweet, soft, clean, slightly metallic
Habanolide is the replacement I've chosen for Galaxolide. Habanolide is a clean, white musk with hints of woody sweetness and a slightly cool and metallic edge. Even though it is extremely long lasting, Habanolide readily biodegrades
Cetalox
Dilution: 10%
Longevity: Base note
Profile: Sweet, musky, ambergris, dry, woody
Cetalox is a relatively new synthetic ambergris material. First discovered in the 1930 as part of natural ambergris, Cetalox was not easily produced until the late 2010s, when a biotech process let production scale upwards. It can be considered a cousin to Ambroxan but Cetalox is much softer and sweeter.
Hedione
Dilution: 20%
Longevity: Middle note
Profile: Transparent, jasmine, green, citrus, fruity
Hedione is another material that has become of utmost importance in modern perfumery. It’s usage grew in popularity starting in the late 1970s and has become used in almost all perfumes since. Hedione (aka Methyl dihydrojasmonate) occurs naturally in tea, jasmine, osmanthus, and honey.
Linalool
Dilution: 20%
Longevity: Top note
Profile: Citrus, herbal, floral
Linalool is naturally found in everything from florals (jasmine, lavender) to fruits and berries (blueberries, pomegranate, bergamot, lemon) to herbs and spices (clove, oregano, black pepper, cannabis). On its own, linalool has facets of citrus and bergamot.
