Hello everybody,
I am wondering what the cause of this and if there is anybody experienced the same please let’s talk about it:
3 years ago I macerated exactly the same amount of (the same grains-Siberian Musk) in two bottles,
The bottle with the blue cap is 1.2 grams in 5 grams Mysore Sandalwood oil (from a friend) and look at the level of the grains now !!!
The colour and the aroma ohhh my God it’s stunning,so beautiful and powerful and lovely.
WHILE the silver cap bottle is 1.2 grams of exactly the same grains in 5 grams (supposed to be Mysore Sandalwood oil from a well known vendor)
And please look at the grains level !!! It’s look less than half of the first bottle BUT this is not the problem ,
The smell is horrible , it’s like burning rubber or something like that, now I am not an expert with maceration but I think the smell part is due to the bad quality of the Sandalwood oil (I think) but why the grains look like half when it’s exactly the same amount !?
Now last week I macerated new 2 bottles;
This time 0.5 gram in each 3.5 grams of Sandalwood oil, again the Sandalwood oils are from deferent vendors and again it’s happening again!!!
Please have a look at the following photo ;
The grains in the right bottle looks like double the amount of the bottle in the left ! But both have exactly 0.5 gram and that’s not everything,
(I know it’s too early now) but I can smell the musk already from the right bottle but nothing from the left !
Am I going to have the same ugly smell from the left bottle !? I don’t know yet
Any explanation please about the appearance of the musk grains and if that an indication of bad oil!?
Let’s share thoughts.
Thank you very much.
