Pure madness or actually worth it (madness V1)
We all surely have lot of samples just laying around and dont know what do to with them. Most of us just give them away when we sell something or as gifts to others or even trade with someone else. Me personally i tend to hoard them and dont really know what i would do with them once i have tested it as its quite small amount usually.
Context why i even considered doing this is im into artisan stuff and i would not recommend doing this with purely synthetic stuff (or who am i to say what you can and can't do). So i reacently moved and realized i have lot of samples that are quite not enough to give them full wear. And previously one good friend did similar thing. So i ended up takeing empty decant and pouring 18 different samples into one big cocktail. And suprisingly the resault was pleasent. It created something unique that cant be recreated even if i wanted as i didnt actually measure the amounts i just used all i had on them. The scent definetly turned out very complex do to high amount of raw ingredients mainly very much oud and different variations. Ill list all scents i used on this madness juice but i have no exact amounts for them. after that ill talk more about the resault.
Samples i ended up useing on this one are. Ensar Oud Zestina, Ottoman Ambergris, Tuberose Fatale, Iris Noir (2025), Cp Raspberry, EO1 Oud Khidr, Mystical lotus, EO amber, Melange musk SQ. Areej Le dore, Koh-i-noor and Walimah II, Barzakh habana papua, Bortnikoff Oud Kinam, Puriste oud Aroha noir, Hunayn Purple Majestic, Katana Khaan, Jinx Jems 8 and some Raw musk tincture i had.
As one can expect the composition is VERY heavy on the oud and its complex blend of oud, But there is still room for more. The florals make very unique and beautiful mix here that blooms briefly after the oud load opening gets tamer. The floral bouquet is lead by the tuberose but many other florals are also noticable. The Scent is definetly harsh and animalic but it has that softer creamier side also. I feel like this scent evolves a lot. everytime you take a sniff its bit different than last time and it dont stop at all. Heavy oud floral composition where the different florals dance in harmony with the oud. Animalics being very prominent but not overpowering the scent. its bit of everything.
In my eyes the Beauty lies in that its unique and it truely cant be made again. Once i run out of this i cant make more exactly like this.
Would i recommend everyone try this at home ? actually i would not. mixing lot of artisan samples that can be complex on their own already into one big bundle can and will be quite hard on the nose and if you are new to these artisan stuff it will surely be a bad experience. I would recommend this to someone who has dont research and tried lots of different artisan parfumes previously and understands them better.


Eventually when I have a lot of left over samples of stuff I like I’ll make an actually pleasant Frankenstein
