Blotter Twelve
One material, undiluted by company.
Frankincense
£145 · 50 ml eau de parfum · 15% concentration
What it does over a day
Frankincense and the alcohol it is cut with, and nothing else. It is not an accord, it is a material with a price on it, and we sell it because people kept asking what the base smelled like on its own. It does not settle, because there is nothing in it to settle out of.
Because there is one material in it, the chart beside this paragraph is a single line that runs the whole width. Nothing drops out of it, so there is no settling to describe: it opens as it closes. That is what a soliflore is, and it is the reason the rail at the edge of this site would not move if this were the only thing we sold.
Panel readings are ORRISHAW's own, taken on 12 cm cellulose strips at 10% in perfumer's alcohol, in a room held at 20 °C. How we read a blotter.
