perfume suggestions

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

I have a couple of questions I thought I'd throw out in case some of

you experienced perfumers wanted to chime in. Currently I'm taking

Mandy's class and have been putting together some simple solids. My

favorite so far is the Green Tea and Orange solid from " Aroma " . I'd

like to keep going with Green Tea absolute and was wondering if any of

you might have some suggestions of other nice combos besides orange

that would be a pretty compliment but allow the Green Tea to stay

center stage. Perhaps there's an unusual note that would bring out

even more of the Green Tea Essence.

I am also curious to start working on a sea-inspired perfume, but the

research I've done has led to very little info. I have a good source

for Seaweed Absolute, it's soft and not too strong. I'd like to keep

that soft seaweed present, but introduce some other notes. From what

I've read, nutmeg and geranium are sometimes used. I like the idea of

keeping the whole thing very light with a floral and perhaps

coniferous element, but don't want to get weighed down with too heavy

an earthy tone. Any thoughts, suggestions, advice would be very much

appreciated. Thanks every one and Happy New Year!
