Curiosity Upgrade
From Harrison Joseph: It's always a challenge to make a kit that both covers the basics and allows the possibility of innovative, new directions for budding perfumery students. Since I've sort of developed a reputation for weird and wonderful materials here, we've decided to do an add-on upgrade for those of you who are feeling adventurous or want to sample some of the more modern and trend-setting notes in perfumery.
This upgrade includes:
Operanide (5ml)
Mimosal 10% (10ml)
Leather Carbonate 10% (10ml)
Almond Pyrazine 1% (1ml) (POWERFUL!)
Ecomusk R (10ml)
Plus a variety of other samples in smaller amounts.

I found the whole buying, delivery, packaging and customer service first class. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
I got into perfumery last year and bought myself a starter kit from another brand (won't mention the name). The starter kit had cost me 450 euros for a large set of ingredients, and all the ingredients smelt pretty much the same... Then bought this started kit for less than half the price, with almost as many ingredients, much more variation in smells and very high quality. Fair prices and good quality ingredients is all you need. Highly recommend.
This set really helped with my start, even after purchasing and doing additional research I was happy to find this set included a lot of materials required to make scents of my choosing
Had a problem with the scale and some of the stuff wasn’t shipped, but Sam was absolutely great with sorting it out, even putting next day delivery and a couple freebies to apologise. The starter kit is also great and I’m really enjoying working my way through, I could not recommend this enough.
I am very happy with the quality of the raw materials and the 30 chosen ones are well thought out, perfect for beginners. Sam is also very helpful about shipping and everything arrived safely and well packaged so I would highly recommend.
