Skunk Perfume tincture-2%
Perfumers always have their eyes open for unusual ingredients they can add to their creative palette.
Skunk tincture is one of those little-explored aromatics that has the potential to add something new and novel to one's repertoire.
However, and it is a big however, the full strength tincture of skunk that is available in the shop is soooo concentrated that it is useless until heavily diluted.
I always suggest starting with a dilution in alcohol of 1:50. In my opinion, it is only at this ratio that you can start to identify its aromatic properties and visualize how it can be incorporated in compositions.
Another disadvantage is that the full strength tincture does not travel well and can be detected before one opens their Apothecary's Garden package. Glass containers and plastic caps do not completely contain the genie in this bottle which can be problematic, especially in the presence of other more delicate aromatics.
So, for these reasons I've gone ahead and prepared a more useful and practical product for my customers.
The original Skunk tincture is made by macerating fresh skunk glands in Ethanol. Skunks are trapped for their fur.
Processing their scent glands makes a useful product out of something that would otherwise be discarded.
If you decide you would like to try the full strength tincture and dilute it on your own, it is al;so available in the shop.

Yep, this smells exactly like skunk - it’s no joke. Very excited to add this to my collection. I love it.

After carefully reading the reviews we decided on the 2% solution. I was afraid to send the pure essence to our daughter in Germany as it can't really be contained. Our daughter wanted it for her perfume collection. She just got it. She is delighted with it and says she plans to never use it after one wiff. She says that it has an overpowering skunk smell that dissipates immediately.

This is a familiar smell to me, and one I enjoy. At first sniff, I thought it might not be strong enough, but it easily swamped a few simple sketches with other naturals. It mellows nicely in minute doses. Love the funk :)

I couldn't think more highly of Apothecary's Garden. There was a small hiccup from my original order and they fixed it promptly and perfectly. I am dying to use my Skunk Tincture in an original scent - just getting around to doing the smelling strips this weekend.
We really need to get Dan to make a YouTube video of him preparing Skunk 2%. For now, I couldn't be happier and can heartily recommend both the tincture and Apothecary and will certainly be going back to them myself for the other good stuff they offer!
