Original, untested educational sketch for documented blotter studies. Percentages describe the relative masses of the named undiluted aromatic materials, not a ready-to-wear perfume. No finished-product safety, stability or IFRA conformity assessment has been performed. Account for stock solvents if substituting diluted materials and follow supplier handling guidance.

STUDY OBJECTIVE

Study whether a small change in ionone beta redirects the identity of a simple floral-musk blend.

Formula proportions

These are undiluted aromatic parts totalling 100. The builder initially assumes neat materials (100% stock strength). To preserve these aromatic ratios with diluted stocks, divide each material’s parts by its stock fraction before scaling: 10 neat parts at 10% strength require 100 stock parts. Changing only the stock-strength field changes the aromatic ratio; it does not adjust the amount weighed.

Study method

  1. Evaluate the three materials separately; record uncertainty if a material seems faint.
  2. Enter the undiluted aromatic percentages and identify all actual supplier grades.
  3. Make a documented trial after calculating stock and solvent contributions.
  4. Compare with 70:25:5, shifting five percentage points from ionone beta to methyl dihydrojasmonate.
  5. Keep the strips separated and return for a later recorded comparison.

What to evaluate

  • When is the violet or berry association most noticeable?
  • Does the comparison change the identity or mainly the prominence of one facet?
  • What remains on each strip at the final observation?
