This morning my ethanol arrived, I am going to spend the day creating accords. My pipettes need cleaning, it was so frustrating for me just not being able to blend. You see I can't use water to clean the pipettes, it just doesn't work. And I can't blend with dirty pipettes, that would make my perfumes muddy. I have been using surgical spirits to clean my tools but I didn't like the smell it left behind. It's not that easy to obtain pure undenatured ethanol but I did it.Now where do I start? My heart is beginning to beat faster at the thought of all the possibilites open to me. While I was waiting for the ethanol to arrive I was doing loads of test strip smelling, here are some accords I would like to try, corriander, rosewood and something else; another one is, immortelle, tarragon and coco absolute; another accord I would like to try is boronia absolute, neroli, and tuberose; oh and I want to blend the three brothers (remember them?) with three sisters, how would that be for a marriage?
For my three sisters, mmmmh it would have to be 3 classics...rose otto, ylang ylang and lavender, but what top notes could I use, I could try corriander, rosewood and maybe bergamot or grapefruit? I would like to choose a fourth essence for each layer also, with the top will try I think a black pepper I have that is lovely to add just a little spice. In the heart I think I would like to try a greener note, perhaps violet leaf or rosemary or tarragon abs. Then with the bases something light to balance the heavy male scents, frankincense or sandalwood perhaps. And then I really want to choose something else, something to marry them all together, like a honeymoon essence, I could use honey abs.....or jasmine?
