Adam Michael has this to say “I wanted to name this tincture Dads Tincture, as after all it is the perfect building block for creating dad themed perfumes. However it was suggested that it might read as though I had gathered up a dozen dads, luring them into my abode with the promise of tea and biscuits, only to put them all in a cauldron and tincture them. A slightly disturbing notion! So I have opted to name this tincture, drum roll please……TOOLBOX TINCTURE.
The material used to produce toolbox tincture is mimosa catechu resin and what a beauty of a tincture this has resulted in. This is a revelation in the world of all natural perfumery. Think about it, how often do we encounter a natural aromatic that can be used in perfumery and of which reeks of metals in all its various forms? The answer is of course little to never.
This aroma smells reminiscent of smelling polished metals, rusting metals, dirty nails and screws, claw hammers, simply, the aromatic life of a toolbox. The mind goes further, the smell of mechanics oily overalls, grease, grime….just pure manliness!!! If you want to build manly, true to form, unique dad themed creations then at the very least this is the back bone of your creation.”
Botanical Name: Acacia catechu
Origin: India

I was immediately interested in the tool box tincture and it does indeed have an air of the greasy, oily and metallic about it, no doubt and would work in a tool box or oily rag accord. However, perhaps my expectations were of something with a little more diesel/fuel type astringency, and for all it’s grubbiness, this smells quite natural and almost green to me by the same token. Mimosa Catechu is undoubtedly a very interesting material with a unique character for a resin and on this basis I recommend anyone get this tincture.

This is a really interesting material. The smell is so complex that it’s quite difficult to describe adequately: to my nose, the predominant impressions are truffle and gingerbread (made with dark treacle). There’s a particular spice note which I can’t quite identify – possibly mace – and in the dark depths, there definitely seems to be a tiny hint of a green floral freshness. I keep coming back to this tincture and trying to penetrate its secrets – endlessly intriguing.

It reminded me of Perrins sauce… interesting to give a pickle note.
