About to make my second big order of ACs!
I'm really finding it difficult to choose which ones to prioritize here. I've got to remove a handful, like 5 ideally.

Musk-wise, I've already got Exaltolide, Velvione and Ambrette CO2.

Woods-wise, I've already got Cedramber, Trisamber, IES and plenty of naturals (cedars aplenty, conifers aplenty and one sandalwood EO).
The descriptions for these woody ACs in particular are all soooooo alluring to me, I want to try them all! But I have to choose...

Triplal
Citronellyl acetate
Linalool coeur
Ethyl linalool
Ethylene brassylate
Cashmeran
Romandolide
Helional
Floralozone
Beta-damascone
Lyral
Hydroxycitronellal
Mayol
Santaliff
Kephalis
Norlimbanol dextro
Symroxane
Vertenex HC
Z11 MIP
Ethyl maltol
Ethyl vanillin
Maple lactone (=cyclotene)
Veramoss


Thank you so much for helping :)

I agree with Paul. All these items I use frequently in my blends.....you shouldn't dwindle down this list.

Maybe the maple lactone could be the "I'll buy later", but these rest are must haves.

keep them all. You will just end up buying them later! If I’m trying to edit your list I’d probably nix triplal as it has narrower application than everything else (IME) (I also have a personal grudge against it because all it ever does is remind me of the facial cleanser I use). I would also with a heavy heart remove Santaliff if you have a few sandalwood things already. And maple lactone you can probably leave for another day. And symroxane. But seriously you’ll be running back to buy these within a month lol
