Of all the perfume brands to have hit the market in recent years, perhaps the most innovative - or the most foolhardy, depending on how you look at it - is the London-based Experimental Perfume Club. Founded a mere four years ago by French, ISIPCA-trained, chemistry graduate Emmanuelle Moeglin, its retail product is essentially a make-your-own-blend kit. Called Layers, it consists of an empty bottle, a plastic dropper, an instruction booklet and three scents- a Top, a Mid and a Base - which can be worn as standalone fragrances, but which have also been orchestrated in such a way so that they can be combined with each other in any permutation the customer wishes.

I have to admit, this is kind of interesting, and seems like it could be a fun thing to tinker around with. As soon as I saw "Sandalwood Musk: Base 01" I started thinking of how I might be able to create a scent. And it seems like the quality is there.

I would however appreciate more options for layering. As of now it looks like each layer has two options: For the top there's Bergamot Incense, and Fig Neroli, for the mid there's Jasmine Osmanthus and Rose Rhubarb, and for the base there's Sandalwood Musk and Amber Iris. Perhaps a less purely floral mid could be added in the future.

Good line of scents. I find the iris the most interesting.
