I love it because it smells really expensive and makes blends feel smoother and softer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAmbrocenide has a really powerful amber-woody smell to it. It’s incredibly strong, but it’s great for giving fragrances more depth and that masculine amber feel. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eCalone has a really lovely deep, watery marine scent. It’s fresh, slightly melon-like, and really useful for building aquatic accords. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMandarin Nat Pro is brilliant because it smells much more like the juicy flesh of a mandarin than the peel. It’s softer, brighter, and juicier than a normal mandarin oil, which is what makes it so interesting. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMethyl Pamplemousse is honestly one of my favourite smelling materials. It has this really fresh grapefruit brightness that smells clean, slightly soapy, and really modern. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eOrris Givco is such an elegant base. It has that soft, powdery orris feel, but is significantly cheaper than real orris butter and much easier to work with. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eParadisamide is just a really fun material to work with. It’s very tropical - mango, guava, passion fruit - and brilliant for adding a juicy fruity lift to perfumes. It also projects really well. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSafranal is a really interesting top note material. It has a distinctive metallic saffron feel, it’s really strong, so it’s pre-diluted here to 1%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eTriplal smells exactly like freshly cut grass and crushed ivy leaves to me. It’s really useful for creating fresh green openings, although it’s incredibly strong and definitely needs to be used diluted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVerdox has this really clean, appley freshness with a slight woody edge. I love using it when I want to lift a fragrance slightly and give it that crisp fruity feel without it becoming too sweet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can learn more about Charles over at his TikTok: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@charles_perfumer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe creator receives a commission for each kit sold.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Fragrance Foundry","offers":[{"title":"Leigh Bundle Standalone","offer_id":55451264090497,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Leigh Bundle \u0026 Starter Kit","offer_id":55451270513025,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/6888\/0181\/files\/Hugobundle.png?v=1775647442","url":"https:\/\/thefragrancefoundry.com\/sk\/products\/charles-leigh-bundle","provider":"The Fragrance Foundry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
