I don’t know what this strange phenomenon is. But whenever I make an amber perfume, what rubs off from the perfume on my clothes smells better than the perfume itself on the skin. And also the remains in the garbage bag do smell much better. I mean, the perfume itself does not smell bad, but it is also not a masterpiece. But if I could make it so that the actual perfume smells like the abrasion on the clothes, that would be a masterpiece.
I also did an experiment yesterday, spraying the perfume on my skin, and rubbed something on a cloth and today that smells absolutely masterful on the cloth. Earlier today I got some of the perfume on my nose by accident. I then wiped my nose with a tissue paper and the rest that remained on my nose smelled exactly as I imagine the perfume should smell.
What is also funny, I have a lot of patchouli in it, but do not smell it in the perfume at all. In the abrasion on the cloth, however, very clearly. What is the reason for this? Does it have something to do with oxidation? Or is there something in my blend that blocks the smell and I have to remove it?
