Now this one is a tricky one – I mixed it and was surprosed by the result as it had a plasticy feel in the initial top accord. I narrowed that down after some work to the benzyl acetate which I had slightly overdozed – I didn’t expect it to have such a big effect (being a very small part of the formula) but it did – careful there. The other tricky part of the formula is the type of lavender and lavandin used – not an easy thing to do but you should experiment. Finally, maceration time has a huge impact here – in tthe beginning (a week or so) I thought there is something terribly wrong with the formula as it was simply not working for the first 10-15 min. Now almost a month of maceration, it is superb and it is lasting very long. A tip for the more adventurous – remove anything that is less than 1% of the formula (including that benzyl acetate) and try that out at 30% dillution – a gorgeous smooth musky iris with lavender.
