I am looking to create a deep, dry woodsy base for a fragrance. I am having trouble finding a combination of a fixative and a wood that doesn't end up just a bit too sweet.
I have the following ingredients:
Acetal (Natural)

I don't usually post topics for recs, as a simple search will often yield exactly what one was looking for. In this case, I'm requesting BNers' expertise for a rather specific desire.
