Crotch! 😆 That's an apt description. I notice that it only really goes that crotch/farm direction in the mid dry down onward - perhaps I need to add something that lasts into that zone, to cover up the funk a bit more? I shall experiment with the basic amber trio + extra base notes.

It just seems so innocuous and instantly pleasant in concentration, particularly when you compare it to the likes of the aldehydes.

Yep. I thought the concentration might be part of it. 😅 A little bit goes a long way with some aroma chemicals! 👍

Having checked the super helpful forums on @basenotes.com it looks like I have definitely overdosed it in a number of formulas. Also, others think it’s a bit “poopy”. So, a little from column A and a little from column B.

Yeah. I wondered about that. I too have gone right off it. Though the store I got the Cistus from is known for being particularly selective with his sources - so maybe I just don’t like it. 🤷🏻‍♂️
