SUBSTANCE 420 :: BASE COMPOUND
Named for California's 420 ethos but rooted in Amsterdam’s atmosphere. Substance 420 base compound is a realistic interpretation of cannabis built from sulfurous-fruity materials that capture dry skunk, garlic-tinged greenness, and the sweet-sulfurous ripeness of cured buds. Inspired by 90s Amsterdam's winter days, where skunky weed smoke would drift from coffeeshop doorways and mingle with dark coffee roasting nearby and the sweet-bitter pull of cacao from the Cacaovalley warehouses.
Character: skunky, garlicky-green, fruity-fermented, dry herb.
USE
Acts as a realistic cannabis modifier for deep oriental fantasies, oud and wood constructions, ambery frameworks, and off-beat experimental work. Deepens floral blends with dank weight. Adds street-level authenticity to compositions seeking that unmistakable weed-smoke character. Brings tenacity and sulfurous intrigue to tropical accords, dark woods, and gourmand bases.
PAIRINGS
Oud, Mango, Cacao, Coffee, Pineapple, Patchouli, Vetiver, Amber bases.
FORMAT
10ml concentrated base. 100% strength.
Reference: S-420
Manufacturer: Based Intl.
HANDLING
This base carries a strong sulfurous-skunky character. Start with minimal doses in trials. The garlic and fermented fruit aspects become pronounced quickly. Suitable for perfumers seeking genuine cannabis realism rather than sanitized hemp interpretations.
