What this is
This isn't another place to debate base notes or argue about synthetics.
It's where the work lives. Formulas. Iterations. Progress you can see.
Formula History
Refined vetiver balance
Added labdanum for warmth
Increased oakmoss to 22%
First working draft
The core idea
A great fragrance isn't born. It's discovered — somewhere between the third attempt and the thirtieth.
Every adjustment lives here. Every dead end. Every breakthrough. The full archaeology of an idea.
Version Timeline
Bergamot reduced to 12%, maceration extended
Added labdanum base note
Oakmoss increased for depth
Initial concept
For those who share
When someone shares a formula, you can take it, twist it, and make it yours. No asking. No waiting.
Their original remains untouched. Your version stands alone.
Two bodies of work, linked by lineage. This is how craft moves forward.

Process matters
Anyone can list ingredients. The difference is in the doing. How long you rested it. What order you added things. What you noticed on day three.
Your process notes belong next to your formulas — not buried in a separate file you'll never find.
Process Log
Blend base materials
Room temperature, glass vessel, minimal agitation
Add top notes
Bergamot added slowly, stirred gently
"Vetiver becoming more prominent as blend matures. Consider reducing in next iteration."
4 weeks — dark, 18°C
Who this is for
The indie perfumer with formulas worth protecting
The obsessive hobbyist chasing a scent memory
The studio that needs shared truth, not shared chaos
Anyone who's lost a breakthrough to a coffee-stained notebook
Ownership
Everything starts private. Share when — and if — you choose to.
Your name stays on your work. Forever. No one edits it, overwrites it, or claims it.
Even when others build from your foundation, the original stands.
