What is missing in my list?

[MickeyRourke]

Hi,

I am new to Basenotes and I would like to know which aroma chemicals are missing in my personal list. Actually in my small stock:

Aldehyde C-11
Aldehyde C-14
Ambroxan
Cashmeran (CasMusk)
Castoreum
Coumarin
Floralozone
Galaxolide50
Hedion(e)
Indolene
ISO-e-Super
Maltol

I am thinking about getting

Aurantiol (as a substitute for neroli or for extending citric middle- and top notes)
Benzylsalicylate (sweet, aromatic, musky, floral softener)
Ethyl Maltol (as a substitute for Maltol, sugar, cotton candy, to sweeten middle and top notes)
Ethyl Vanillin (intensiv vanillic sweetener for middle and top notes)
Ionone Alpha (fixing and extending orris root, violet, with warm, floral and strawberry effects)
Hexyl Cinnamic Aldehyde (fixing and extending Magnolia, Jasmine, Gardenia and Tuberose)
Methyl Laitone (coconut, tropical, fruity, milky and creamy fixator)
Verdox (fruity, sparkeling apple)

Do you have any other important suggestions about "must haves" of aroma chemicals?

Thanks in advance.

Your have & want lists are missing numerous fundamental building blocks. There are multiple threads on this forum discussing this topic, such as (paraphrasing) "100 Essential Starting Aromachemicals" etc.

Well, it would be cool to get some information like "Lilial is missing in your list if you want to have a sweet, floral scent for extending Frangipani and Lily of the valley" that would be a helpful answer. Or something like "I would suggest also Musk Ketone as Galaxolide is not very intensive". Studying "100 Essential Starting Aromachemicals" and then researching Basenotes or the internet for use cases to find out what is eventually missing in my list is not really helpful. And I just want to buy a few more useful ones and not all 100. But thanks anyway.

Hi Mickey, you have 12 materials, you suggest 8 more for 20 total.

You do not state your goal.
My advice is to find a demonstration formula, and buy the materials there, then make that formula.

Your question is too broad, and without end point. Sharpen your thoughts, then you xan receive better assistance.

But really, 100 materials is still barely enough, even just for learning.

Exciting answers. Well, maybe I should have mentioned that it is only a hobby, but for it I have as well dozens of essential oils, absulues etc. which I want to pimp a litte bit more with chemicals (but not too much) in different fragrances. I create everything from amber-like and musky scents to floral fresh cents, or sometimes chypre, fougere, whatever.

Maybe other people might have told me that my own suggestions for a small stock expansion of chemicals are ok for the beginning/ for now or that I additionally should even buy this and that or replace something.

But it seems that the best solution for me would be to buy all of the round about 3000 existing different aroma chemicals in the world and test around for the next 40 years to learn to be able then to create a perfume that a couple of friends and acquaintances will like - or not. I guess when I am at last 90 years old I will report. So I don't need to ask any further questions until then. Thank you.

It isn’t our fault you haven’t played a good role since “The Wrestler”.

Hello again, as these are among your first 9 posts here, and have not really introduced yourself until your last post, how are we to divine that you possess so many natural materials?
Your post seemed to me to state that you have 12 materials, and are attempting to make a fragrance, because your now-stated goal of fortifying naturals is what you seek was missing from your question.
You must give the parameters of your quest to receive adequate assistance.

Don't be silly here, you don't need 3000 materials, but as your question was founded upon 12 materials, I said that you need more than 20. My response was entirely reasonable, given the information presented.
