Late July Haul from Perfumers World.

 I placed another order from Thailand, to get in to some experimental fragrance compositions, as well as to revisit some old memories from one of my first perfume ingredients hauls, ever, from a supplier. I have some high-balance gift cards, so it wasn’t a problem to order these ingredients. Keep an eye out for future fragrance projects to come!

Here’s a look at the unboxing. It turns out that I ordered 82 ingredients, and 79 of them arrived neatly packed in 40-count boxes. There are droppers included. Some of the powders I ordered wouldn’t fit in the smaller jars, for the size I was ordering, so they went in to larger aluminum containers. It’s a really neat package, and Perfumer’s World has really upped their game, in terms of packaging. The great thing about their platform is that you can order sizes as small as 1 gram, so you can audition costly or obscure ingredients without as much investment as you’d put in, if you had to order 4 or 5 mL at a time, for a minimum amount, per item. They charge a $0.90 bottling fee, which is a great trade off option, for the flexibility in minimum amounts. So, you’ll see that I ordered many ingredients, some of them as little as 1 gram or 2 grams, in cases where the product is costly, or very strongly fragrant, or obscure, and rarely or hardly used. 

I mixed together an inventive chypre-Fougere style fragrance, to kick off trying out this batch of ingredients that I ordered, and, for the most part, the recipe remained self-contained within the ingredients listed here. 

I made a fragrance with tree moss absolute, fixative 505, green lavender absolute, a drop of osmanthus absolute, timberol, z11hd, iso e super, ambrofix, maple lactone, some dilute ethyl benzoate, heliotropal, isocyclocitral, beta homocyclocitral, methyl pamplemousse, cis-jasmone, a tiny bit of West Indies bay oil, a good helping of tonkarome, agar wood oil siam 10%, isobutyl quinoline, pyralone, a small touch of bergamot, agrestic by palette naturals, clary amber, cashmeran, and cervolide.

This was my ingredients list, for the most part, although I found that I had added a few ingredients not listed. Then, as I discussed the formulation with Google Gemini, I decided to put in some more tolu balsam, which is a solid resin material, to make the fragrance sweeter. I also added a slight citrus ginger opening, and the overall effect is a mossy, dense forest woodsy type of setting, intensely fresh at the opening, with an almost psychedelic brightening of the senses, upon first encountering it, due to the strange qualities of the tree moss, which was supposed to be one of the main features (substituted for oak moss, since I don’t really like that ingredient that much), along with the green lavender absolute, which is a very natural and true-to-form lavender that doesn’t smell as common as regular lavender oils that you might be accustomed to. The other main feature ingredients are isobutyl quinoline and pyralone, which I had tried out, long ago, in a former haul, where all of the ingredients had since been lost, and even though I was somewhat at odds with the smell of these fragrances, initially, back then, I had a sort of longing for that sort of smell, again, and I felt that I could put together a better formulation than with ingredient purchases that I had put together in previous years. These ingredients impart a characteristically leathery feature to the fragrance. I added some spruce, and some imaginative ingredients, like osmanthus absolute, which brought the fragrance to an apricot leg of the journey, and it eventually got buried, as the fragrance became more complex. So, the result is a pretty masculine-styled scent, with a fresh, green and citrus opening to it, leathery, foresty, and woodsy accents to it, with mossy, lavender notes, over a sweet base of tonka and tolu balsam, essentially. It’s styled upon a classic formulation foundation, as discussed, above, so it smells like it fits in, pretty well, in the fragrance world, of wearing fragrances out and about, in public. I added a minimum, or a trace, in some cases, of ingredients, so the creation process was pretty restrained and well-planned, I feel.

The package arrived by the end of the week, as it took a couple of days to process the order, bottle and prepare the ingredients, package them, etc., before they were sent out (the ingredients came individually shrink-wrapped, as well). Then, the package was sent from Thailand on Wednesday (Thursday, Thailand time), and the item was shipped via DHL express, so it arrived very promptly by early Friday afternoon. The tracking was updated regularly, so I was staying on top of the package status. The package incurred an additional fee of $55 or so, from customs, but I was able to cover that without a problem.

It’s baby pigeon season, in Downtown Los Angeles.

 

A baby pigeon, amidst the adult flock, seen here, in Skid Row. 

This year, the feedings and the community support of the pigeon flocks that I frequent has been robust (I visit 3 flocks regularly, and sometimes I see another tiny flock, here and there). That being the case, the paired pigeons felt confident to mate and rear some young, and, here in mid-May, I started to notice the baby pigeons’ ruffled feathers signature look, along with their smaller size amongst the rest of the flock, not to mention their squeaking sound, as they struggle to make sense of feeding time. There are perhaps 4-5 different baby pigeons that I’ve noticed. By this time in their fledgling upbringing, they already knew how to peck for food on the ground. I hadn’t noticed them out, any much earlier, though. 

The babies are charming, this year, because there’s some adults that are setting examples of eating out of my hand and perching on me, to compete for my hand to feed them, with priority, so the babies immediately took after these adults and they comfortably started eating out of my hand and perching on me, as well. It’s really satisfying to have attained this level of comfort and sociability with the Pershing Square flock, in particular - they’re a large flock, and it’s a challenge to keep them fed, although, as I mentioned, the community at large has also been supporting the flock, bringing food and water pans for them. A lot of times, the pigeons will follow me, as I leave, because they would like more food from me, it’s really cute. 

This little squeaker is a new addition to the 4th St. underpass flock this season.

Pigeons in the news: 3 articles for July, 2026.

Having Columbidae tagged as an Apple News topic that I follow, I sometimes come across interesting pigeon articles. Here are 3 that caught my attention.

DUDE Milano designs a cute pigeon-themed ad campaign for Canva.

I was just watching the news on streaming TV, 

and I saw a cute commercial that ended with a pigeon playing a harmonica, made for the online and app-based design platform, Canva. It was a very charming advertisement, and it involved pigeons, so of course I was intrigued about finding the ad online. 

Upon doing a quick search, I came across an article online, at lbbonline.com, where an article detailed Canva’s new “Wild Design” ad campaign, directed by DUDE Milano, that demonstrates how even a pigeon can use Canva to design a winning graphic. 

A shot from DUDE’s charming stop motion brand advertisement for Canva.

In the ad, a pigeon designs a winning graphic for a struggling Trattoria.

Today featured a special mealtime for the pigeons.

Earlier on in the day, I was walking around Van Nuys, and I came across a 7-11 pizza box, nearly full! I had a slice, and it was good, but I didn't quite feel like finishing off the whole thing. Luckily, the pigeons always have a healthy appetite, so when I got back in to downtown LA, I made sure to stop by a second time (I saw them and fed them in the morning) to toss them my pizza slices. Yummy!

@jay.ammon The #pigeons I feed, over at #pershingsquare #dtla, and a couple of other spots in town, got a special treat for the afternoon, since I found a pizza box filled with yummy #pizza. They were super #cute ♬ original sound - Jay Ammon
