Hi @BK Scents. Could you make a video explaining other synthetic woody ingredients like Cedroxyde, Cedramber, Kephalis, Kohinool, Timbersilk and Sylvamber? Thanks in advance for considering it, even if you decide against it. Cheers.
Oh you should watch some of my other videos. There's so many things I butcher when I pronounce it. I get tounge tied very easily. Especially when pronouncing some of these technical materials.
Hi @BK Scents, I have been using bacdanol and I like it too much, I was checking IFRA and it has no restrictions, but can bacdanol be used in large percentages like ISO E SUPER, let's say use it in 20% of the finished product?
I have visited the Karnataka Soaps & Detergents factory where they extract Indian sandalwood oil. (They have a Monopoly in India). The equipment they used seemed pretty old and leaky and the smell of Sandalwood was everywhere. The smell is extremely buttery and sweet gourmandish. I haven't smelled the Sandalwood Oliffac though so can't compare.
Were you smelling the materials neat or diluted to10-20%? Thanks again for the comparison review/evaluations. Your videos are very informative, even though they're hazardous to our bank accounts. Your commentary and suggestions do help us focus on particular directions we'd like to explore.
That's one material I haven't tried yet. I've got so many sandalwood materials now....probably too many and I don't even use alot of them because I have too many too choose from, lol. I feel like the Perfumery industry is over saturated in sandalwood materials
Javanol is super strong, I would dilute it further to like 1-2%. The other materials you can do it at 10%....or you can use them neat. It really depends on how large/small your trial batch sizes are working with to dose these appropriately.
What do you think about Amyris? I work with this raw material and i dont know if i should buy real sandalwood or just stay with it for now :D Any Advice? Ps: Love your videos :))
That’s one that I have not acquired yet. I heard it has glowing reviews and well regarded. But there’s a part of me that feels I don’t need anymore sandalwood materials. But then the other part of me that says “yes you do,....one more won’t hurt” 😂
@@bkscents7050 we are like magpies aren't we? I'm terrible! I had mysore first and then ebanol. I am trying to control myself not to get some javanol, but the magpie in me......
Another GREAT content! Thank you so much! Please could you tell me if I can use Javanol instead of bacdanol? (I just have the first one)! If yes, how much would you use it comparing to the amount of bacdanol? (A quarter of it?) Cheers from Brazil!
Javanol is like 5-10x stronger than bacdanol. Javanol is effective in traces to 1-2ppt for an effective sandalwood note. It's wicked strong and very long lasting....
@@bkscents7050what would you choose, Javanol or Ebanol? I know only javanol and it's power.. But I have only Ebanol. Do you think Its gonna be overall similar smelling?
Hello Bk scents I really liked this video and I intend to make an essence of Sandalwood for candles, which would be the most specific materials for this purpose. I'm thinking about buying: Sandalore Ebanol Bacdanol Santaliff IFF Javanol Wood Base Mysore (Firmenich) Would you be so kind as to give me an idea of the approximate composition I could make with these products? I have a very old Sandalwood oil whose label said: "Ess. de Santal indes orientales Macassar", from the Naarden brand, I've already looked around, asked in Basenotes and nobody could tell me what it was, do you know this product? Thank you very much. Best regards.
I dont know anything about this stuff but i ordered a few things to add to some soap recipes. I ordered some bacdonal amd when i got it i smelled it and was like why did i buy this shit. I never went back and looked at the description given from the place where i bought it from. Annyways what i got smells nothing luke sandalwood, its notvery strong either. It smells like egyptian musk to me, like exactly the same as a generic bottle of fragrance oil labeled egyptian musk. If anybody reads this do you think i got ripped off? Have any suggestions of where i should buy ingredients from?
@@pkpkoya6426 thank you for the suggestion. Thats kind of why its probably good to not just start complaining about things you know little about huh. Might just be my unrefined palette. I have noticed that almost all the fragrance ingredients i purchased were a little underwhelming straight put of the box but i have grown to appreciate most of them
When ever you order anything, give it time to site for at least a day. The heat from shipping has an effect. Luckily letting them sit in cool environment helps restore them. I’ve gotten oils I was certain were spoiled, but have them a year later and they smell amazing. Also dilute synthetic replicas. Don’t smell them straight, especially right out of the package. It may not be an exact replica, but they will smell much closer in dilution.
Thank you for your videos! I have learned so much from them. I purchased Javanol from Perfumers Apprentice, and diluted to 1.0% with 198 proof grain alcohol to create a one molecule scent. I was expecting a creamy sandalwood, but I got a strong piercing piney laundry smell. I am wondering if I should dilute it again to 0.5%, as it may be too strong at 1%, or should I go up to 2%? Any suggestions or opinions is appreciated. Thanks!
