Natural Perfume Ingredients
I have a collection of over 200 naturals, but most of them are in small quantities. Those offered here I have in reasonable amounts, including 12-year old patchouli; two vetivers, one from India, one from Réunion; oarweed; sandalwood; vanilla beans; frankincense; rosewood; galbanum essential oil; and ambrette seed absolute. See below for small quantities of other natural ingredients. Feel free to contact me if you’re looking for other naturals in sizes from a few milliliters to an ounce.

Since closing Brooklyn Perfume Company in 2023, I have a significant collection of aromatic compounds derived from plants. Because there are so many examples, usually in small quantities, I have toyed with selling the collection as a whole or giving it away. The amounts in each bottle are too small to sell individually. I didn’t want to combine them because they each have a subtle character of their own. But it has occurred to me that I could sell them off in groups such as florals, or jasmin, magnolia or lemon.
Below are listed over 50 lots. To get into the lots, you need only to click one of the icons shown below. The lots vary in size, some with a few little bottles, others with a bag full. When the list of contents of a particular grouping is large (there are 20 samples of sandalwood), I’ve decided, almost randomly, to divide these into lots of around five each. I’ve kept most of the lots below $100, but for some expensive ingredients (e.g. sandalwood) it’s almost impossible to do so.
These absolutes and essential oils are sold in lots, not individually. To buy verbena, for example, click on the verbena icon, and it takes you to a small collection of verbena essential oils from varied producers. To avoid a logistical nightmare, the ingredients are not sold individually. You have to buy the whole thing. To compensate for this, I have kept the prices very low.
