Famous molecules in perfumery - Hedione 

If only chemistry in schools are taught this way, with fragrances to connect the elements together, I'd be hooked with chemistry back in high school

Brother do not change, your videos are just awesome and informative. Just keep doing it this way. You might not have so many views like the other reviewers, but who cares. Yours is pure Quality. Just awesome.

Great information and insight. Very much appreciated, all of your videos and research help streamline 🙏🏽

Bro, i really really appreciate your Videos and the Work and effort you put into it! THANK YOU!!!!

You have a very good way of giving over information and making it interesting. Good on you.

Thank you, you're my fav youtuber on perfumery! To the point and clear and simplified. I was wondering, if you haven't already, if you could do a video on notes in general for groups of fragrances. I feel like you've already covered florals. But could you talk about groups of compounds for say, gourmand fragrances (candy, waffle cone, marshmallow, butter...), tea (bergamot, green tea, chamomile...) fragrances and oceanic/aquatic fragrances or even tobacco, rum, cognac and leather. Would be greatly appreciated! Those are the notes I enjoy the most and was wondering what to buy to start off experimenting with these. I really enjoyed your single molecule perfume video as well!

Just found your channel and I love it, I’m learning a lot.

This is seriously the best RU-vid account in perfumery category. I am learning so much from you! I'm currently waiting for my first batch of synthetics to learn them, try out some mixes and play around. Hopefully I can make nice perfumes one day!

The best video about Hedione that I ever seen!

Sam good night! I would like you to make a video for beginners on how to make a super simple but good and effective fougere and chypre accord and how to add the other ingredients, and explain what a blender modifier is, etc.

great video - liked the chemistry backround info!

Your content has been SOOO useful to me. Thank you for everything!

Interesting to see your guitar in the background. I think there are some real parallels between music, art, and fragrance.

I met my life partner by following him for his scent. He was phisically not my type at all. He was wearing Molecule 1, I fell for it hook line and sinker :) thank you for such instructive video!

Thanks for sharing the knowledge so lucidly. Pls do more vdo's on other materials as well.

I was having a vial of Hedione and was not able to smell very well on the strip! after watching this useful minutes I understand the way :) thanks Sam ! very well presented!!

I must say Sam, ever since discovering your channel recently, it’s been an absolute godsend! You’re doing great work explaining Perfumery in a way that very few people are doing, I hope you continue doing videos, I’ve learned so much from you already, thank you!

You gave such in-depth information. V informative and interesting. So perfumes do affect us neurologically.

This was so helpful! I have found that I don't like using Iso E super very much, and that Galaxolide is still pretty strong. Hedione is very approachable to me and I don't worry about using too much. Any videos on important aromachemicals are welcome! Particularly the ones that are widely used in perfumery and make it smell "like a real perfume."

I'm trying to make a summer, citrus freshy. If a fragrance has too much lemon or lime for example I've noticed that the hedion can damping it in a good way, as you mentioned in your video. If I use too much then it really flattens it out. Thank you for your video

Wow. 😊 Your video is interesting. Thank you for sharing that important info with us. You're more like a chemist than a perfumer. When I smelled hedione first time, it's already destroying my nose because it's so strong. But I have trained my nose day by day, now I can easily smell it, even without dilution.

Informative vedio 💜

I got a perfumers apprentice kit to learn more about raw materials. I couldn’t smell beyond the alcohol. I’m going to leave the dip stick to dry and see if I can smell it tomorrow or later this evening. Great tip!

Really great information. Thanks. ✅

Everything I've heard about hedione is basically it has almost no smell on its own, but in combination is where it comes out and shines.

I am going to use hedione in my rose formulation, I believe this will work very well.

Hi Sam, I have a serious hedion-related question. I was happy to smell hedion perfectly from the beginning, but now it seems I have a total knockout. So I will wait. Here is what I want to ask you: how do you perceive hedion? Can you smell just the floral jasmin or do you get this wonderful strong "blueish-bitter" component? This is what I am looking for. Are you familiar with ANY aroma chemical that makes this exciting bitter impression? Perhaps even stronger or pure, so I can create a scent around it? Lovely channel, beautiful content. Greetings from Germany.

You should do a whole series on famous or popular perfume ingredients.

How do you know so much? I'm only an end user getting into interesting fragrances but the whole perfumery chemistry is quite interesting as I have a science background. I really liked the part of this video on the molecular structures involved in hedione. Great work and best wishes to you.

Love your videos ❤️

I have hedione and heliotropene and it’s pretty potent

Great Video. Thanks

Awesome video! I would like to know how to better educate the olfactory receptors. Thank you

I came across this video in an attempt to find fragrances with hedione in them... I have a decant of Initio Side Effect... and of all the designer/nichè fragrances I've smelt.. this may be my favorite

Excellent

Thanks for this, looks like a lot of work and thought went into this video. Really cool! Do you think you'll ever do a video about safety and environmental sustainability of our beloved materials, whether synthetic or natural? There's so much to understand and it's all pretty important imo! Natural doesn't mean safe because molecules in wintergreen, oakmoss and bergamot can be dangerous. Natural also doesn't mean sustainable because high demand materials like vanilla and sandalwood pose sustainable harvesting challenges. And synthetic doesn't mean dangerous, because in a lab you can make water with hydrogen and oxygen. But at the same time, when it comes to synthetics, I tend to find myself worrying less about working with molecules synthesized in the lab but exist in nature (vanillin) than I do a molecule that doesn't exist in nature. Is such skepticism reasonable? Do we trust industry giants to practice due diligence with both short and long term safety testing? And how do you recommend the average DIY perfumer or hobbyist approach these questions? What about hedione? Does it bioaccumulate in our bodies? How long does it take the molecule to biodegrade? Is the DIY community even able to access such data if it exists, or is it behind an academic paywall? Thanks!

Please make a video of ISO E, hedione and galaxolide.

Need more information similar for ISO E Super, Galaxolide 50 etc

Hedione reminds me of lightly sweetened floral iced white tea for some reason. Maybe because I associate its smell with Elizabeth Arden green tea.

Ooh do norlimbanol next!!!!

I have been wanting to make a cannabis accord, or find a real cannabis material I can use for perfumery. The many strains offer so many different smells and It blows my mind it is so hard to find cannabis materials for perfumery

Hey! I don’t understand the 10 min parts there you tell I recommend diluting it down to 10%. can you explain is point please..

Damn a year to smell hedione bro. I smelled it the frist time and damn it smells gooood

Sam , deberías hacer tus videos una versión traducida al español para América Latina , realmente la necesitamos ,excelente tu trabajo de divulgación .

Very helpful. I can’t smell hedione 😂 feel better to know it’s not uncommon. Hopefully one day I can enjoy its scent.

Dpg oil with hedione how make perfume

Hello! I have a question regarding hedione in eau sauvage. Recently, I went to a perfumery (douglas) to buy specifically Eau Sauvage (because of hedione). They did have it, but I just wanted to make sure that it actually contains hedione, so I went through the "ingredients" written on the box. I was looking for either the word hedione or methyl dihydrojasmonate. However, there was nothing like that. I was looking at it for a long time, but it was just not written there. There were many other chemical compounds, but no mention about hedione. Does it mean that they stopped putting it to the perfume? Or they just did not write it on the box? I also went through other perfumes that were supposed to contain hedione too (like L'Eau d'Issey, Acqua di Gio, Voyage d'Hermes and some others), but none of them had it written in their "ingredients" section. I was pretty shocked, to be honest. I will appreciate your reply very much. By the way, I like your informed scientific approach in this video.

Awesome video, Sam! Thanks! Learned a lot from this one. Could you please make a video on Linalool, Linalyl Acetate, and how they impact the scents of Bergamot, Lavender (and maybe even Brazilian Rosewood) ? I've seen your video on Citruses and Aromatics, and those were great, but something more focused on those raw materials would be awesome. Especially because Lavender and Bergamot are two of the most common and widely used ingredients in perfumery since the 1700s at least. (They're also used in Chypre and Fougere fragrance families, two of the most well-known perfumery accords.) I'd also love to see videos on other materials. All of the Ionones, all of the Irones, Iso E Super (and similar materials), for example. I'd also like to see more fragrance family videos, like this: Musks, Ozonic/Aquatic, Metallic, Fruity, Oriental/Spices, etc.

Hi Sam. When i was searching for Hedione in a supplier (De Hekserij) i found that they have Hedione and Hedione HC. Wich one would you recommend and, are they used in the same way? Thanks alot for your great videos.

Hi ! Can you make a videos what molecule for trigger the pheromone in humans? And also please make a videos about heliotrope Thanks a lot

you should be a perfume professor!

Can you layer hedione like you would iso e super under perfumes?

15:25 is the percentage including the the ethanol?

Hi do you sell hedione?

Hey Sam which fragrence have the Most hedione in it ?

where do i buy hedione, iso e super or ambroxan, gallaxolite etc?

What will happen if i use it in any perfume? 😅

I can't smell hedione on myself, but I smell it in its pure form in a bottle. Whereas iso e super I smell so strongly it could be a wood essential oil. Its really quite strong to my nose, and I'm impartial to the smell of it which is a shame.

How make perfume hedione with dog oil

Sam I'm interested in making hedion but I don't know where to go . I mean to say please recommend some books or site or ytube where I go and study according to my interests . Please

Why do you dilute everything in ethanol? Is it ok to dilute it in D.P.G.?

Can you please share link to that study.

If one can afford it is it better to use jasmine EO ?

How is a perfume that's 65% Hedione an Eau de Toilette? Am I missing something here? Did Comme des Garçons mean that they used it at 65% of the base oils, and then diluted that down to EDT levels with alcohol?

How do I check if my hedione is original or fake?

Jasmin oil is not expensive and true scent of jasmine flower is not possible I think

Hedione - if it’s such a subtle aroma and used in low levels wouldn’t it be simply drowned out by the essential oil’s?

I dont smell it at all. Maybe an extremely faint jasmine scent. I always add it though, its a pheromone

Good video! To me, Hedione actually smells like balloons :D

Thanks Sam for what you do on RU-vid, your videos are very informative and well done, you deserve success, I would like to ask you if Hedione you use at 0.1% in the formula is it diluted at 10% or pure, thanks from Italy.

Please taking hindi

Thanx for a great informative channel i was wondering about the raw material of carrot essential oil and Hennah in my nose opinion they smell like light Agarawood, i used them as a top note in some of my experemental creations please provide me with your feedback on those materials ❤ thanks🌹🪷

Great sam its better if i smell hedione at first place we'll see 🙈🥲
