PERFUME FORMULAS from INGREDIENTS labels 

Hi Sam. I'd add one caveat to something you mentioned towards the end of the video: while adding Farnesol, Citronellol, Citral, Limonene, Geraniol and others into your fragrance isn't wise if it doesn't contribute towards improving your fragrance, there IS a lot of value in buying these materials (at least in reference quantity) to learn about them. Like what these common naturals do. And it can help you learn about how other materials (especially naturals) might work. I've noticed that Linalool clashes with Cedar essential oils (all kinds, whether Cedrus or Juniperus), which helped me understand that Basil, Bergamot and Lavender might not necessarily be the best materials to use with natural Cedar essential oil. It's worth having an understanding of those common materials in order to be able to understand what's being discussed in perfumery forums, chats and books. Great video. I learned a bunch. Thanks! Cheers.

Hi Sam, live your videos. How come I smell a woody base like sandalwood in Gaultier Classique even though no wood is given in the notes anywhere? Could that be iso e super? Or what is your opinion? Thanks for all the good work here 🙏

Thank you Sam for the labels video. I also thought I could get close to a commercial perfume scent by buying the things listed on the label. I didnt know it was an allergens list. Hopefully you saved future $ mistakes like mine by offering this insight!

Absolutely interested. Thanx for this one again. Very informative about these ingredients lists. 👌

Thanks for your guidance. It is very useful.

I used those allergenes list to make a copy of Dior's Pure Poison. Did not even come close :'(

Thanks for this video! Could you discuss more about matching/perfumery training techniques in the future?

Very helpful Sam. Thank you. Greetings from Ghana 🇬🇭✌🏻

willing to buy gcsm report of la nuit de l homme. willing to buy if there is a resonable price

Well explained Sam!

I ordered that chemistry and scent book and it still hasn't shipped? Any idea when it might be released?

Hi SAM, At the end of the vdo you asked about interest in GCMS.Just wanted to ask what is/are PEAKS in GCMS data.How one reads it? Once again thanks for the vdo. 👍

Hi Sam, I'm new to perfumery and I am wondering, what are the drawbacks of creating a perfume using only EO's and perfumers alcohol besides being limited in scents? How will that affect sillage, longevity etc? I'm thinking if I create the foundation using EO's and PA, then add a couple of aroma chemicals, that will be a simple way for me to begin making perfume? Thanks for your content btw, you saved me from buying over a hundred pounds of fragrance oils lol

First I want to thank you for your content, I highly appreciate it. I have some ideas or requests for future videos. Could you please teach us: 1. How to make Fragrances for candles? 2. How to make fragrances for soaps? 3. How to make fragrances for shampoos? and even possibly how to make fragrances for cosmetics such as body butters or moisturizers. Once again THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Is it possible to find out formulas for old discontinued perfumes? My holy grail would be the original recipe for Diorissimo by Edmond Roudnitska. Not to make money out of it, I’d just really love to know.

Brilliant 🤩

Nice content, can you explain if i need make inspiration a famous perfume .where i can found the number of drops was used and followed to start

And I downloaded your app hoping it’s helpful 😅🥰

If I'm building a new accord for example, could be a fantasy accord that I'm not familiar with, example could be mineral notes or lava or even a woody note I'll have a look on TGSC on there you can also find a long list of suppliers as well. Also even simply just looking up chemical constituents of a specific item rose as a basic example. As far as the the ingredients go best to keep the allergens to a bare minimum, there are a lot of people that are allergic to fine fragrance. Especially coumarin ane Eugenol. Benzyl Benzoate is a good solvent / fixative, can be used medicinally too for scabies.

👌

Basicly the ingredients labels read mostly always the same on every parfum boxes.

A hearty middle finger to IFRA for destroying classical perfumery.
