    Trying to make a grapefruit note

    I will try to be as concise and clear as possible, sorry for the length of this post. I am going to create a grapefruit note for a grapefruit-centered perfume. However, there are SO MANY chemical constituents that can go into a grapefruit note, it is difficult to know how many ingredients...

    How to use Grapefruit in a formula?

    I have three grapefruits - white, pink and methyl pampelmousse. I am trying my hand at building a Hesperdic facet. Are there any tips around using grapefruit oils as a supporter for other citruses? What's it blend well with? Are there any golden ratios? Is it essential in any accords?

    Nootkatone Skin Test

    I'm working on a fragrance with a grapefruit accord component that I'd like to last at least a couple hours, so I've started skin tests with a few grapefruit-y aromachemicals that have reputations for longevity. Today I put Nootkatone 10% (TEC) on my wrist at 4pm, it is now 1am. (I am a...

    The grapefruit note in Terre d'Hermes

    I know there is grapefruit in the top notes of Terre d'Hermes, but I can't smell it at all. All I smell is a mineral note and cedar. I was surprised to learn recently that it had grapefruit in it. In the edp version I can detect the sweet orange at the beginning most distinctly. I'm wondering if...

    Looking forward to the summer!

    I am in the minority of people who actually prefer summer fragrances to winter. I mainly attribute this to the fact that summer has always been my favorite time of year, so anything having to do with it is already awesome by way of association. This indescribable love of summer goes all the way...

    Grapefruit...(I think you know where this is leading...)

    OK, so, fine, I got new furniture—NEW furniture!—as in made to order, stuffed with down, fabrics I picked out, and roll arms on the chair—for the cat. I knew that once I got settled with my Sunday Times and coffee, she'd be at my side. Things have been heavenly. Then, one morning I walk in...

    Hello, I'm new here and I like Armani Acqua di Gio

    This is my first cologne purchase in over 10 years. After testing a few colognes, I purchased a 6.7 ounce bottle of Armani Acqua and am very happy. Nordstrom had a sale, they gave me a $50 bottle of Armani bodywash for $15 for buying the 6.7 ounce bottle, so I feel like I got a good deal. I like...

    Gucci by Gucci Sport

    I just tried Gucci Sport today. Up until now, I have never liked anything with the word sport in it! But I think I like this stuff. Have any of you tried it. I can't find it in the directory, so I think it's new. According to an article I read its top notes are: grapefruit, mandarin and cypress...

    Can spoilage improve a fragrance?

    Hey guys: I recently sprayed some Paul Smith Story on my arm. I was trying to see how it compared to my new mini of Encre Noire. However, it smelled completely different this evening. I know that usually, when a frag goes bad, it can smell like paint thinner. But with Story, it was like the...

    A nearly relevent side track to the number of ingredients question thread. I nearly posted this there but it would have sidetracked too much... I've never really got to grips with this top, middle and base idea, even though I am a rank amateur and even though it is the worldwide and widely...

    Taking suggestions for a new blend

    Okay. I've got a blend that I like, and while it's very pleasant (has a nice roselike accord in the heart and very nice woody-sweet base), it's lacking something. I thought I'd ask for input on what I might try. Top: Blood Orange, Pink Grapefruit Middle: Rose Geranium, Palmarosa, Rosewood...
