Afraid to start playing w/my new aroma chemicals

Aroma Chemicals are simply the building blocks used to create Fragrance Oils so FOs should be as strong as ACs. Except that I am becoming convinced that some suppliers dilute them (probably with isopropyl myristate). I've been testing some weak FOs and they have much more of an oily residue when applied neat than others that don't....

I use some ACs from Perfumer's Apprentice to add to FO blends. Mostly musks like Exaltolide, Cosmone, Galaxolide (for perfume, not soap).

I love the idea of creating fragrance from scratch using ACs (and some EOs) but at this point I don't have the time (or money to purchase the hundreds AC's that I would end up wanting!).
