Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 , The alcoholic cologne that I made still reeks of alcohol, even after cutting it with water. The scent of the cologne, when splashed on the face lasts for a very little time. Maybe because of the citrus stuff in it, I don't know. I think maybe, Rosemary is an essential component of Eau D'Colognes. Here is another " formula " I tried, and I must say that it gave me a pretty fair idea of what is a base note. Plus, it smells pretty smooth, but there's something missing. would be gratful if you could add on something to make it wonderful. 10 drops bergamot 4 drops rose (absolute) 6 drops patchouli The patchouli really lingers but is not over-powering. , btw, I hate to call the recipes, formulas. Formulas are for synthetic chemicals. Recipes are for naturals, as in food, heh. When " coriander " is mentioned, does it mean " coriander seed " , or " coriander leaf " ?? Tried some samples of commercial perfumes today. All, except one, were not upto the mark, with Dior Addict taking the last place. Dior Cherie taking the first. Nice fruity, sexy smell.
