[Beginning of transcript]
↳In today's episode, I'm going to repeat the structure of episodes 3, 9, and 16, and I'm going to study 5 more ingredients with you.
↳In episode 3, we studied vanilla, ylang-ylang, rose absolute, orange blossom essential oil, and lavandin essential oil.
↳In episode 9, we studied orange EO, cedarwood EO, Cis-3-Hexenol, pink pepper oil, and galaxolide.
↳In episode 16, we studied petitgrain, bergamot, eugenol, hedione, and ambroxan.
↳As usual, I'm going to smell each ingredient, describe the scent, note everything in my olfactory diary, and compare it with the notes from previous studies.
↳In this episode, we will get to know lemon EO, cassis base, stemone, iso e super, and florol better.
↳The first ingredient I'm going to smell is lemon EO from the citrus family, a top note, diluted to 1%;
↳Lemon EO is a very easy ingredient to recognize; it smells like lemon, which is a very common scent in our daily lives. It's a citrusy, fresh, clean, yellow, zesty scent; it's a sharp, sweet scent reminiscent of lemon drops; it's an acidic and very airy/light scent.
↳The second ingredient I'm going to smell is cassis base, from the green family, a top note, diluted to 10%;
↳The first thing that comes to mind when I smell this ingredient is tomato vine; it really smells like tomato vine, and it's a delicious scent. It's also a green, fruity, sharp, and rustic scent that reminds me of paintings of a house in a forest. I had never made this visual association, so I'm going to add it to my olfactory diary.
↳The third ingredient I'm going to smell is stemone, also from the green family, a top note, diluted to 1%;
↳Stemone has a very green, fresh, minty scent; it's a very comforting earthy scent; it smells like herbs.
↳I really like this ingredient; I even added it to the perfume formula to evoke spring last week.
↳The fourth ingredient I'm going to smell is iso e super from the woody family, a base note, diluted to 20%;
↳Iso e super has a very light, very transparent, woody, delicate, almost creamy scent. It reminds me of a vast forest with a high density of tall trees.
↳Iso e super is an ingredient widely used in contemporary perfumery and in large quantities, just like hedione.
↳The fifth ingredient I'm going to smell is florol from the floral family, a heart note, diluted to 10%;
↳Florol smells like baby wipes, which is a bit strange at first, but then its floral facet is clearly noticeable; it's fresh, transparent, very clean; it smells like cleanliness.
↳Florol is a synthetic molecule widely used to create modern floral accords.
↳Seven days from now, in episode 20, I will resume the other project started in episode 15 — whose section, in turn, is TO CREATE A CUSTOMIZED PERFUME (FOR SOMEONE SPECIAL).
↳ I also take this opportunity — and once again — to say that we have moved our Jarilo store and it is now located not at
but at
