Clarity of Scent When Diluted

Hello everyone, I have something that’s been bothering me — it’s the difficulty of smelling and evaluating scents when working with diluted materials, whether at 10% or less.

Many of the formulas I create end up having a very weak scent when diluted, making it hard to judge them, even though they smell harmonious. The proof is that when I try the same blend undiluted, it smells very strong and clear, and I can confidently evaluate it and proceed with adjustments — I’m sure of that.

But working with undiluted materials all the time is quite expensive, and I can’t afford to do that for every experiment.

I know there might not be a perfect solution, but maybe someone has ideas or suggestions that could help. Thank you all.
