Thanks for emphasizing the need to get air in the bottle first. A lot of these KZreadrs miss on this key step. Then people end up storing their unused bottles which does nothing.

Maceration is so that the molecules can bond with each other, not air by the way. ;) The higher volatile (top) molecules create a matrix with the lower volatile (base) molecules.

It’s not true bro. They use the maceration to deflect customer complaints

Good point. I've noticed that most of my fragrances become stronger with time. I remember when I was dissapointed with Layton. It performed for 3-4 hours, now after few months it performs more than 8 hours. Similar thing happened to Herod. It is a beast now 12hrs. Even designer perfumes macerate, not as much but they do as well. Have a nice day ;)

Good stuff. I'll be looking into more videos to learn more about this fact. Thank you for sharing.

i just got rasasi hawas and my bottle was made only 1 month ago, performance is not good at all right now. do you think macerating it for like 3 months will help?

All fragrance bottles come with air them already, you spraying the fragrance literally makes no difference. They just need to mature that’s all.

just found the perfect no gender clean musky everyday scent I've been looking for here in Brazil but it doesn't last a lot. I never macerated a fragrance before, I'll try to let it sit for 3-4 weeks. the hard part is not to use it lol, I love the scent

I have recently acquired Creed Aventus (batch l4222c11a), and frankly I can only pray that this maceration thing works because right now it doesn't last more than 30 mins and the projection is very poor. I'm really annoyed. I'll come back in two months to this commentary to give my verdict.

I bought bottle of Sauvage a few months ago. The first use, no projection, nothing. Sprayed yesterday .. My Mrs said that's nice .. and it projected for around 3 hours.

Very informative video that many people need to know when it comes to perfume!

Hi, Brian, great job. I'm following your work on KZread here in Brazil.

We all frags enthusiasts need to know about this. I have also experienced maceration even with weaker fragrances and I loved it. You said about 2-3 weeks but wait a year or 2, totally different story. That's why you don't need to pay absurd high prices for old formulation fragrances and buy new batches instead for a lot more decent prices. Over time the maceration will interfere and improve the fragrances a lot.

Thank you a lot for this information 🙏🏼😘! When I make my own herbal oils they also need some weeks for macerating.

Thank you. I might check out some Dua's clones, I've been wanting to try Dior Homme Intense.

man, you got attitude. i like that, subbed 👍

Only professional users knew about this haha! Good job.

Im thinking of macerating my azzaro tmw edp because its silliage and projection are barely noticeable after 2-3 hours it becomes on skin only. Thoughts?.

Yes its true !!!!!!, i try with his aspirtion extr, and aroma heaven of dua , and after 2 month its closer to OG

from Philippines here. I just bought Acqua di gio original but the projection is not so performing , any tips if this can be improved ?
