Perfumery!

It's been 2 weeks since I blended my first perfumes, and they've done the majority of their aging. I'm sure they will continue to change and blend over the next couple of months, but in more subtle ways.

I've also decanted them from the bottles, and would like to ask for 2 volunteers one more volunteer All volunteers found, thanks! (I'll probably have more perfumes later to try!) to sniff-test them, try them out, and let me know how they work out over time from top notes to dry-down and let me know what works for you, what doesn't, and what suggestions you have (if any). I don't actually promise that they're any good, as they're the first ones I've done and I'm working with a very limited palette at the moment. I know what I think of them, good and bad, but I need alternate noses to compare to. The blending oil is fractionated coconut oil which I think may be technically non-allergenic but if you're allergic to nuts, I wouldn't risk it.

I can bribe you, perhaps, with something from your Amazon wishlist?

Awesome, thanks! :D I shall endeavor to get them packed up and sent out in the next couple of days.

(And I broke down and ordered another kit of components, which should arrive in the next few days, so I can start doing more, with more ingredients. XD)

Awesome, thanks! :D I'm not sure if I've got your shipping address, so if you could send it to me at telophase14 (at) gmail? :D

Whee, thanks! It's the same addy you've used for past BPAL/doujinshi/etc. mailings, but resending in case you don't have those messages saved. :)

If you ever need anyone else, let me know; my nose is finely tuned for sniffing from years of BPAL imps! :)

Cool, thanks! :) I ordered a different kit of components, so I suspect it might not be too long before I have new ones to try. :D (Not to mention adjusting the formulas of some in the first batch, if they work out OK.)
