glasllyn Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I just ordered these unusual scents from SoS as sniffies. I have no idea what to expect, but I can't find them elsewhere, so I figured it was worth a shot. If anyone is interested in hearing more about the resultant weirdness, I'll update.

rctfavr3 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) 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.

I'm blending them for a themed series. I promise to share if I can make it happen. I also promise to share if it's a disaster! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a wildly inaccurate scent from SoS and never went back. It was supposed to smell like Morrocanoil hair products. It did not. But, you never know when there might be a hidden gem!

I admire anyone who can do this. Goldie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstar Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) Hmmmm who knew scents like gasoline and dry wall even existed i guess there's a market or SOS wouldn't make them.

ehatch1 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I'm so interested to hear your thoughts on 1. Paper, 2. Library, and 3. Dusty Attic. I have seen some candles sold that smell like old books, and I would love to make myself some. That is one of my favorite smells. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Demeter has been trying to replicate things like these, but they haven't nailed it yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldieMN Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I LOVE the smell of gas when I'm filling the car. Also love the smell of my garage. Not sure I would want to smell one of them all day, though. Well, maybe the garage. Goldie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldie Goldie my dad just bought some of these to give out to his friends... they are all motorcycle guys and these candles smell JUST like the shop/garage when they're working on bikes. It's ridiculous how accurate the scent is. https://www.amazon.com/Klotz-Candle-Famous-Estorlin-Smell/dp/B01LXSC7MU They might be up your alley 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of liked them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rctfavr3 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 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. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been experimenting with those elements. Grass does help. Sandalwood is a problem, because I find it difficult to find an accurate representation, and I'm not going to buy the real thing. It's like vanilla- so few FOs actually smell like vanilla, but so few people agree on what vanilla smells like, so you have to buy every vanilla on Earth to find "The One." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
