Sam, is there an easier way to ask you some direct questions about the MOST basic things with perfumerie? Long time collector, just trying to get some direction. I hate to impose and ask for your time, but I’d be so appreciative…
thanking you isnt enough sam, truly. im in the works of starting my brand im a noob when it comes to formulation but i have a brand vision, you help me see (smell haha) it more clearly - freeing me from my concerns!
Pls make a Video with the Next 30 raw Materials. After getting the First 30. Your Videos are such a big help. Ist Hard to Watch for a german, but you are the only Person who explains everything.
I am a big fan of your videos, I’ve learned so much from them! I recently have begun making fragrances and I was hoping maybe you could help me with a big problem I’ve ran into… So, I have finally found a formula I like. It is based it on # of drops (bc that is the smallest amount I can add to a formula). Each of the materials I used were set at a 10% dilution. I am now trying to create the perfume concentrate. I am using the materials neat, however I am having issues knowing how to add materials that were made from solids/powders (I.e. Cetalox, Veramoss and Lavender absolute). I simply used a 1 to 1 ratio when converting all the liquid raw materials to the concentrate. Cetalox though has been very tricky. I know it has to be at least a 10% dilution, however if I created my formula with all materials at 10%, it would seem that I would need to use 9x the amount in order to maintain the 1 to 1 ratio originally used? Or should I be adding raw materials directly to the concentrate based on weight? I have similar issues with Veramoss and Lavender Absolute. How do I maintain the appropriate ratios in the concentrate?
Hi it's very good video's on perfumery. Plz try to add english subtitles buz some time it's difficult to understand ur essent plz try to do it. It's very helpful for other part of country's .
By mass, utilizing an electric balance that can go down to 0.001g. Then if making a dilution for instance 1g of Ambroxan crystals then adding 9g of DPG you’d have an Ambroxan 10% dilution
Dear sam can make long video creating formula perfume from TOP MIDDLE AND BASE with explaining which direction thoughts . without out smelling until end the base then smelling and tell us ur thoughts.
Hey! I’ll be making a perfum soon and wanted to ask what smells to use. What I have in mind is something that would remind you of a bakery, but using vanilla is a must for me. Thank you!!
Aloha Sam, I just came across your RU-vid site and I find all the knowledge/experience you have to share fascinating....for that I thank you. I am a beginner at attempting to create fragrance and have been overwhelmed by all the info available but you make it all make sense. btw....i tried to purchase Moonlight Harvest and By Virtue of Sunbeams, are 10 ml sample sizes available?
Thank you, glad I can help! Currently the samples for my perfumes are 1-2 ml, I’m looking to upgrade all to 2 ml in the future. I haven’t found that the 10ml size works well for my business unfortunately but I’m looking to introduce a 30 size soon.
That's is awesome video Sam!!Could it possible that I translated your video in to Thai language as an article to sharing this useful information to thailand perfumery community and give you a credit😊?
You could reference it with credit and write it in your own words but please don’t use the video recording itself with an overdub and post it like that
And how did i will know that is a top or middle or base notes from this accord? Thanks for sharing a good viedo you gives a good informations of perfumery.
Question, which one would be good to make a ocean like scent? Bath and Body works changed my favorite Sea Breeze scent a few years ago and I've been looking to recreate it since
Really wish that water wasn't green in the fougere accord visual. 🤣 Then again, cyanobacteria is becoming more prevalent these days. 😆 Brilliant vid Sam. ❤ Definitely need a floralizer in the violet accord it's true. So many way you can go with that one. Might give that tropical accord a go myself. Never was a fan of tropical scents, but it'd be a good exercise. Cheers.
Hey Sam, thank you for all the videos and inspiration! I do have e one question I haven't been able to find, how do you get the briny, salty smell of the ocean into a perfume? I can't seem to find any clear information on this topic but maybe I'm just being dense. Best.
Very nice and informative video! But lily of the valley looks nothing like the waterlily you showed in your picture, and violets don't look like that either-- that's liverwort! I know they're AI generated, but still!
