How exciting about your new fragrance! Please keep us posted!
It is a BEAR to make. 25 different ingredients. 23 count as "notes", and only two or three are consciously obvious. It's really making me think of perfumery as a form of art, because this is very much reminding me of a work of art that has been given the most careful attention to detail. It sometimes took days to figure out... do I prefer 3 units of X, or 4? Especially when certain of the key components cost in excess of $1,400 per ounce. Especially when X is intended to have a steering effect, and not be an obviously detectable note in and of itself. Especially when I literally cannot smell the component!
But... so far... very beautiful.
#38 or #41, it won't be cheap to make.
