A session from a workshop in The Art and Technology of Perfumery held in Bangkok 2012. The greatest secret in a perfume - the Accord. A technique to produce a perfume accord in a fraction of time taken by the Jean Carles method.
So once you find your accord that smells good to your senses would that be a default for future compositions? Or would one have to do this every time .... Other question is how are you diluting your oils when you speak of "parts" ... I'm assuming that you are diluting
That the ideal accord is where the 'impacts' are more or less equalised is misleading. In most fine fragrances you will find that it is not 1:1 in intensity, comparing materials in an accord according to their parts in a formula and odor value. It is why an accord is better described as a harmony rather than balance, as you're not aiming for equality. Obvious examples, without having to look at formulas, would be Vent Vert and Ma Griffe.
Sorry it was a live video, no retakes so we had technical issues sometimes and we didn't want to interfere with students privacy if we had used microphones on each table.
