a sketch of a popular perfume (formula)

I'm trying to re-assemble a popular perfume. Here is a sketch of it thus far (percentages omitted)...

After about an hour of tweaking, I have taken it far enough to the point that I am satisfied for a night's work. I will come back to it again in a few days as it settles, and there are a few other items on a shortlist that I think maybe be used in the actual formula which I have not added yet...

iso super e
vetiver
galaxolide
vertofix coeur
evernyl
oakmoss
jasmine
hedione
patch
iris
geraniol
cumin
rosemary
basil
petitgrain
lemon
citronellal
ethyl heptanoate
helional
coumarin
linalool
eugenol
cardamom

I guess it shouldn't be too hard to figure out what it is, if anyone would like to take a stab at a guess via the comment box please don't hesitate to post your answers :)

Those formula give some insight into how it work at developing a perfume and how it evolves from idea to small samples to formula for larger production.
