100 Essential Aroma Chemicals – Kit Three

The 100 Essential Aroma Chemicals Series

The 100 Essential Aroma Chemicals Series consists of five kits, each of 20 materials, that together constitute some of the most useful materials available to the modern perfumer.    The first job of any beginning perfumer is to learn your materials and the huge selection available can seem overwhelming: the idea of these kits is that that they can be purchased in order, so that you can get to know 20 ingredients at a time.  Each kit provides enough material to give plenty of scope for experimentation, blending and learning before adding another 20 to your palette.  By the time you have the full series you’ll have the 100 most useful materials at your disposal and you’ll know each one well enough to be able to put it to good use.
