    Save on Scents should have one. And if not I can steer you in the right direction using a blend of their oils. Shoot me a PM.

    yeah I like their stuff. Just wish they'd have Taylored as an in-stock item and not a made-to-order item.

    I really like Taylored's oils. That said sometimes I want to only order an ounce or so for that one off customer but can't because AAA doesn't have them in-house. Nevitt has to formulate them and we must order by the 8oz. I wish AAA would just go ahead and add Taylored's oils to their catalog.

    That was an aspect I liked about it too! I'm thinking of using it as a base for a Ball Park Pretzel fragrance blend. I've tried SoS's pretzel FO and didn't think it worked all that well. I'll see if I can use this combined with a few other goodies.

    SOS has one not sure of it's scent. They mention an East Indian flair which leads me to believe it probably has Cardamom in it. A good choice. Most cinnamon brooms in retail stores are scented with additional oils. If you do try it please let us know. I'm interested in trying this oil myself.

    I liked their Dirt FO it's interesting. Their Vanilla Mint is nice. I use it as a blender but it also has a TicTac vibe about it. Hot Pepper is fun to use but I fear it's on closeout. Need to order more of it while I can. Madagascar Black Pepper is another good blender although it is light. Good on it's own. It has as an almost soot-like aroma. You can do a good fall/winter FO renaming Rum caramel truffle. I might put in an order for the Pumpkin Lager. Haven't tried that one but I like the description. Lastly and I really shouldn't share this one but I will... Ripe Tomato. Seriously It's so multi-use it's ridiculous. Instantly adds a freshness to anything.

    I have and like it. It's not a reg order but It is a good fragrance. It's not overly sweet and actually smells of bread unlike others I've tried. It's not the best I've found but the best is currently elusive because I didn't take note of it at the time. I'm still hunting but WSP is a good one.

    Bacon. Whoops didn't read the entire post.

    Got any for sale?

    I'm always looking for a more accurate gunpowder FO. Do you think the small perfumer would be up for a group buy if we can get one going? I'd be in for some.
  11. rctfavr3
    I'd consider buying one just on the name alone. What could Macabre possibly be in aroma? Color me interested.

    I rather liked Gemlite's Menthol fragrance. It wasn't all what I expected. More clean and fresh without the nose tingle. That's the closest I've found to "Cold" without smelling like mint. If your up for experimentation you might get good results mixing Clary Sage with your strongest Mint FO.

    The sweet dry burning plastic aroma?... I'm on the case!
  14. rctfavr3
    It doesn't. It contributes to the smell of paper. And even then "contributes" is the keyword. The aroma chemicals of paper have the same base chemicals that is aldo found in Almond FO, FCGrass FO and many vanilla fragrances. Combined (the aroma chems) they add characteristics of paper. The above recipe (if you can call it that) has been grossly simplified. I provided a better recipe on another thread if you want a leatherbound old book smell. And even that formula is more pleasant and avant guard perfumey to realistic old dusty books. Results may vary. See store for details...lol

    SoS has a scent called Magazine... Smells just like that!

    I don't see why not. I have on a whim but haven't sold anything containing flavor oils. Just make sure they're safe and don't contain water, glycerin, sorbitol or sugars.
  19. rctfavr3
    Haha wow. Shoot now the whole world knows my secret formula! LoL
  20. rctfavr3
    My favorite in this list. Pot Roast. It's so freaking accurate it'll make you hungry. It's a savory scent for sure. Right down to the beef broth and onions. Such an odd scent. Super strong. Beef Jerky is a good one too! Ah shoot. I said I wasn't going to say anything 'till after you got them. I can't wait to see what you think!

    For anyone wanting to create a paper aged book smell you could start with Sandalwood. Something like a heavy dose of sandalwood followed by a little bit of leather. This is your base. It should be fairly nondescript in aroma. You shouldn't really be able to pinpoint the leather or sandalwood. The right Leather FO makes the difference. You'll have to experiment. To that add Tonka Bean FO or Marzipan FO. You're wanting a powdery slightly almond aroma. Lastly add in drops (cause a little goes a long way) Fresh Cut Grass, VERY LITTLE! This is the secret ingredient. When paper deteriorates it releases this type of aroma. The trick is to add enough to smell but not so much that the overall composition smells "green". And there you have it. Old Book aroma. Back to SOS. Their Paper FO has a note that you'll likely recognize. That particular aroma is found in old paper but it's too obvious in this blend. You'll likely want to tame it if you plan on selling it as a fragrance. Oddly enough, combined with their Playdoh FO seems to make it smell pretty accurate.

    My opinion: 1 = OK 2 = Nope and 3 = Good
  23. rctfavr3
    Well sorta I offered them some blend suguestions and also shared some of my own formulas. I dabble but by no means am I perfumist but I do try various aroma chem blends.
  24. rctfavr3
    I've tried ALL of those! Let me know what you think! I helped create a few. Really interested in what you think about one of them.... Although. I will say, IMO some of the oils u listed did not smell accurate to me. And others are very accurate.

    Ah. The dreaded FBB. One of those "headscratcher" fragrances that's available practically everywhere yet none smell of fresh baked bread, IMO. If I had to guess, one out of every 5 suppliers carries a Baked Bread scent. And of those... they all fail to pass the blind smell test (Give to a friend and say "Smell This!") So what to do. We'll I've found things that smell similar to bread but nothing that hits the right notes on all cylinders. Others here may disagree. Smell is subjective of course but I can't say I've found that perfect bread scent yet. I want the knock you down dry, yeasty, warm, herbal notes that hit you whilst walking past the local grocer's bakery. I haven't found that pitch perfect scent yet. But there are things that could possibly work with a little experimentation. One of the key odorants in Bread is: 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline which is essentially a wheaty popcorn note. You could try a Popcorn FO as your starting point careful to avoid ones with strong butter notes. Although you might have luck with buying a Fresh Baked Bread fragrance off the shelf. I can't comment on that but other members might be able to assist you in finding a truer Baked Bread fragrance oil. Come to think of it... I might just try to concoct one. It'll give me something to do next week. lol I'll keep you posted.
