This guy is brilliant, I’m so glad I found this channel

This is a real eye-opener for me as a (admittedly avid) consumer of fragrance. It is a great feeling to have such a user-friendly guide to the technical aspects of perfumery: I feel I can use this kind of knowledge to become a better consumer and spend my money more wisely.

Best perfume channel on KZread! Thanks Sam for sharing your knowledge.

MacerNation RISE UP!!! Bergamot quenching dryness might be the same reason some people (ex Mountain Aromatics) regard bergamot as aquatic. I kinda do too. Things at the triangulation of "citrus", "juicy", and "clean" can give this kind of hydrating aquatic note (as opposed to the drier mineral piny notes of aquatic chemicals like aphermate). Also, do you know of any good resources for finding a bunch of base templates? Especially nature-like accords?

Some perfumes list cardamom as a top note and some as a base note. I was wondering how this can be done. I find it blends well with citrus, lavander and woody notes. Cheers

Sorry I’m new and this might be a novice question but when you say to make the base at %20 are you saying that you add the alcohol with the base? Does this mean when you smell the base it’s mixed with the alcohol? When you mix the base are you using the base already mixed with alcohol?

I wonder if tapered glass rods with a loop at the top would be a less wasteful alternative to single use plastic pipettes. Because they can be rinsed off and won't absorb scents from your various raw materials, plus they would be pretty and more cost effective in the grand scheme of things. I dunno. Just popped into my head and thought I'd ask.

Please could you release your formulair app for android too? I am not finding any suitable alternative for it on this platform.

When you call them "perfume bases" are you saying these are base notes? I see bergamot on one of the formulas and I know that's a top note. Are these accords or are they mini formulas that allow to work on a more complex formulation?

@sammacer

Жыл бұрын

Exactly; in perfumery, confusingly, bases and base notes are completely different. Base notes are the long lasting notes whereas bases are accords with defined proportions, I.e. reproducible base formulas.

Hi Sam i really enjoy watching your videos and i´m learning a lot in this interesting world of perfumery thanks to you. I want to know what porcentage of a grojsman accord should i put in a perfum that has 9 other ingredients. For example, if i have 3 top notes, 3 middle notes, 3 bottom notes and the grojsman accord. I want to do a EDP so i'm doing pre dilutions of 20% of each one of de EO... is that correct? Thank you very much!

Does this still apply if I’m trying to make cologne

Just for my personal interest, as i never made a base before..... if you got your formular perfect in your eyes ( or better nose) and you are going to create a larger amount of the base... the final result will be made of pure materials or still diluted ? And if pure materials, how do you handle solids like vanillin in this case?

But what makes a base a base? Is it because of heavy molecular formula ? Like do cedar oil evaporate slower than mint oil ? That doesnt make sense to me , i wish someone would explain because i dont think thats how big perfumers create disgner perfumes.

@sammacer

Жыл бұрын

Be careful to distinguish between bases (formulas) and base notes (long lasting things). Molecular formula isn’t too important. Cedarwood does evaporate slower than mint. Perfumers use both bases and base notes to create designer fragrances - but you need a lot of skill on top of that
