Hi Tommy 

The entire Sandalo Artistico release is ready so the Shave Soap, Skin Food Splash and Lotion and the new Serum and the only two things that are holding things up from releasing them is the Labels which will be here on the 28th and then I have to ship them to my vendors. 

I may open this one up for pre orders as I have a funny feeling this one’s going to go fast and Just so you all know I did make a triple batch in anticipation of this happening. 

I also made some of the 7.5 oz size which will only be available on the ETHOS website. 

Thank you Tommy

Thought I’d share this custom order I just did for a customer. 

This is called a Extrait de Parfum and it’s percentage level of the Aroma Blend exceeds an EDP. This one has 42% of the Aroma Blend and has way to much of the Aroma Blend to be Sprayed on. Dropper, Roll On and possibly a Serum Pump depending on thickness of the blend is the preferred way to dispense and apply them. The Aroma blend is made using Perfumers Alcohol for the other 58%

The Aroma Blend on this one consists of Essential Oils of Sweet Orange, Dark Patchouli, Hawaiian Cederwood and a bit of Red Champaca Absolute. 

I’m going to be offering Custom Extait De Parfums  and some other options I’ll also post up soon. 

Oh and this smells amazing. Enjoy Arnie and Thank you for allowing me to make this for you  Not sure if your on DFS yet but get your butt going and join! Lol 

I’m going to be putting together an educational post all about Aroma Blends, Fragrances etc An I have an exciting to me announcement to share when I do. 

Great weekend everyone

That's really cool Frank! That seems like something I would like to try as an application for scent, using the dropper or roller.

Dragonsbeard What can you share about red champaca? I read up a little bit but what can you smell most predominantly from it when you're using a extrait type base?

Hello zaclikestoshave 

So to start I have in my library of aroma ingredients 3 different Champaca absolutes.  A White and two different Reds. That being known the one Red I have is very good with most of the characteristics that are associated with Red Champaca but when compared to the rarer batch of Michelia Red Champaca I have it seems mild in comparison and more similar to the White I have which btw does have it’s more characteristic dirty hay like note which a love. . I know a supplier in India who Carrie’s all the varieties of the flower which is White, Orange, Yellow and Red. So much like a rose each has its own slight nuances but the rarest Red Michelia Champaca I have is very special and all the beautiful notes are present and  are best described below by a couple of suppliers. 

To me maybe the only Absolute oil that by itself takes you on a olfactory journey that is similar to smelling a beautiful complex perfume that is masterfully blended. With Top, Heart and Base notes. Most essential oils and absolutes are what they are. For example Lavender or Grapefruit. Yes their are variants like White, Pink and Ruby Red which all smell slightly different but you know your smelling Grapefruit. Same with Lavender. Slight differences between English, French and Tuscan and they all have a Camphorous  notes that are either more or less present but again you know your smelling Lavender and that’s kinda where it stops. Tonka Bean kinda takes you on a journey but it’s short and fast with its Vanilla, Nutty, Carmel, very slight balsamic and cherry notes which is wonderful and I love it but the journey that I Red Michelia Champaca takes you on is much longer and one I personally enjoy tremendously.  It is rare, it is in the top 10 worlds most expensive aroma oils and to me almost adulterous to mix it with anything other than maybe a beautiful Vintage Mysore Sandalwood oil. 
Btw. I used the other Red Champaca in the custom Extrait de Parfum Blend I made for my customer Arnie as it had a strong enough fruity floral note that in that variant is somewhat like a orange jam which really complimented the sweet Orange EO that was in the Aroma Blend. 

Below is my favorite description of what Red Michelia Champaca Absolutel is all about and I don’t think I could have said it any better. 

Descriptions of two suppliers  

You’ve probably heard different flowers get the title ‘king’ or ‘queen’. For some, rose is king and jasmine queen. Then, there’s the Queen of the Night.

And fair enough.

But, I think that’s just because more people haven’t been charmed by what’s easily the royal-lest of florals: Red Champaca.

Orange Michelia Champaca flowers produce a deep red oil that’s as heady, if not more so, than the richest tuberose, creamy like blue lotus—but buffed up into what must be the sweetest floral note I know of.

Sumptuous, with the piercing quality of neroli but many notches more intoxicating, oozing an olfactory richness that makes the finest rose and jasmine smell transparent.

Imagine tuberose steeped in honey and cured berries with more flavor than orange blossom, as if tobacco got injected with vanilla, violet, and raspberry jam. Red champaca smells thick, dense, and you literally have to pull yourself away from an aroma that’s sensual to no end.

Red Champaca oils are rare, low yield extractions, which rank them among the most precious aromatics in the world. 

Another great spot on description below


Deep rich intense sultry floral notes layered beneath suave fruit and earthy tea-like tonalities; a faint minty/herbal note lingers in the background along with a subtle Champagne note. The drydown presents a veritable symphony of scents - hay, dried fruits, and hints of tobacco provide the underlying aromatics of this extraordinary absolute.

I will add when mixed with my 1934 Vintage Mysore it’s External and euphoric and I find it somewhat addictive. I could smell it all day long and be very happy.  I wish I could share it with everyone who loves natures aromatic treasures like these two. 

Sorry for the long rant but you were asking about one of my all time favorite Aromatics. An thank you for allowing me to express my opinion on Red Champaca Absolute. 

Have a great weekend.
