being a chemist that now starts to be interested in perfumery, the "scent and chemistry" book keeps getting recommended to me. be it for making perfumes, be it for just researching stuff with papers, i guess that book will find its way into my collection. i mean ... we chemists really are able to get a deeper understanding of any material based matter ... thats something i really like in the subject, especially as I am developng myself into more creative fields (textiles/garments, now perfumery).

@sammacer Год назад

For sure you should pick it up! Since they re-released it the price is finally at a normal level again so it’s a great time to snap one up

How does this man not have millions of subs…?

@sammacer Год назад

❤️

@wib6044 Год назад

Yea it’s a niche subject. I’ve also found American RU-vidrs tend to have more subs than Brits on average when it comes to this subject as a whole. I pretty much only watch the English reviewers, and it is mind boggling they have 1/5 the subs of some of the American reviewers, despite the content quality being the reverse ratio. This is not a knock on anyone, but The Fragrance Apprentice alone is more entertaining than most of the TV programming on today, let alone reviewers and somehow he is still under 50,000. Wondering if it’s an algorithm thing or not. So yea, subs not a reflection of content, and hopefully not a deterrent to keep making these!

I have recently been thinking a good chemistry book might be needed; thanks Sam. btw, Ellena's new book, the "atlas of perfumed botany" is absolutely gorgeous, and also historically informative. I would recommend it if you are into the gardening/nature side of perfumery. cheers mate.

@sammacer Год назад

Yes I have my eye on that! Glad you would recommend it :)

@wib6044 Год назад

I loved his segment in the BBC documentary. Definitely my ideal life. Sick house in the woods making perfumes all day. Dam! Yes please.

Hey Sam! Great video! I’m reading Nose Dive, a field guide to the world smells, Harold McGee, i just started, but I could say that probably you’ll like it, also I’m a self learner of perfumery and this book is pretty interesting. The author show a table with the elements, similar smells and also the molecules. It’s a journey of the author in the world of the smells so it’s pretty interesting Greetings from Mexico :) !

@sammacer Год назад

Greetings to you in Mexico! Yes it’s a great book, I’ve got it on the shelf in the background of this video. I haven’t had a chance to read that much of it though.

@tomask9588 Год назад

It's a great book, very nerdy (in the best way) and well thought out. Feels almost like reading a fantasy novel, but the magic is scents and chemistry. Fun fact: after some time of hesitation I finally decided to buy it when I noticed it on Sam's shelf :D

@abdullhaalsocotri5039 Год назад

You are great. 😍😍

@martinarenzi4744 4 месяца назад

Thank you Sam ❤ does the first book always cost 210€? What is the lowest price at which I can buy it in your experience? Thank you for all the great videos as always, I love your videos😊

@rubenrodriguezsanchez8871 Год назад

Hi Sam! I am learning the ingredients from the list in book Perfumery practice and principles. Should I smell them pure or diluted ? 10%? In Ethanol? DPG? Thanks a lot!

@sammacer Год назад

My advice would be to learn them diluted to 10% in ethanol, 1% too if you have the time

Hi can you tell or make a video about how they are making concentrated perfume oil production like branded one inspired version or own version what are the ingredients are using to make concentrated perfume oil

Sorry, I’m not interested in clone fragrances

@anvarkk5086 Год назад

@@sammacer ok got your point but can you tell me at least how concentrated perfume oil making

@girardirene6916 Год назад

Is there a precursor book to the scent and chemistry book that would allow complete beginners to learn and become ready to read the one you refer here?

@sammacer Год назад

You would want to read an organic chemistry textbook

@girardirene6916 Год назад

I studied biochemistry at uni, but I'm interested in perfumery. What might be an expected salary range as a perfumist? Do you know how I can get started in a career?

@Perfumery_by_Sabin Год назад

Leave jobs for us people who are passionate about perfumery not just nerds in lab coats. Jk good luck getting my dream job

@sammacer Год назад

It’s very difficult to get into - if you’re doing it for salary it’s probably not for you since most perfumers start on a low salary (some master perfumers can earn exceptional amounts but that’s an exception). You should take a degree level course in perfumery to have the best chance but like any job, there will be many unique paths to get a job. Good luck!

The first book costs $180 - $260+ if you can find it. Annoyingly.

@sammacer 7 месяцев назад

@milkfartss Год назад

Perfume, the Alchemy of Scent is a complete waste of time. It does not teach you how to put things together, or why you would do so. It's just the guy blowing smoke up his own ass for most of the book with a tiny bit of info on perfuming. I'll save you some time. The only important info in the book is explaining that you should take time to smell each individual material and draw your own association with it and write it all down. Then take 2 materials and smell them next to each other and see what happens. The most basic of all basic that everyone knows to do. He also tells you how we categorize perfumes. (Big deal? We can learn that info when you go to purchase any material from a website. It will tell you if it is a wood, floral, etc.) It is just not worth it if you are actually trying to learn something. Do not waste your money.

@sammacer Год назад

Disagree strongly. For me, the raw materials list and accords table were invaluable as a beginner. And a lot of the basic topics are ones many newcomers haven’t introduced to before. You sound more advanced to me.
