I can't thank you enough for these videos. I am just a starter of the perfumery world and living so far from all the sources of materials, but I have learnt a lot from your videos. Your knowledge and the way you share information is easy to understand and learn, step by step. Don't know when I will be able to create my own perfume, but I am glad since I could find an 'online teacher' like you. You are young, talented, hard-working and very dedicated, I hope you will be able to achieve your own goals and keep sharing things free for ppl like me on Internet. It's kind and cool. I am planning to order your perfumes next months, so can't wait. Once again, thank you so much for all of these information, and pls keep on doing this! All the best!
Thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate it. I wish you the best of luck with your own perfumery journey! And I would be honoured if you tried my perfumes :)
Omg, this is the most informative and scientific video I've seen on this subject. I've already watched a couple of your videos and gonna continue to do so. It's a shame how there are so few views. This stuff is gold.
@@sammacer Also, if I could ask you another question.. How many designer fragrances do you think use actual essential oils, or are aromachemicals, fragrance oils used more often?
@@danlightened Essential oils are used, but usually at a smaller percentage than aromachemicals because they often make the perfume smell harsh. Fragrance oils are not used at all for designer fragrances - they are for things like candles instead.
@@sammacer Oh, thanks for letting me know. So, these essential oils you bought, you're not gonna use them in your perfumery? They're more for a back-to-basics increasing your knowledge base sort of thing?
Wow, Sam where have you been hiding?! lol the presentation and visuals are just amazing - fantastic introduction to your channel and looking forward to seeing more. Btw, curious what was the book you were looking at with the essential oils and aroma chemicals?
Thank you! The book with the aroma chemical breakdowns is 'Scent and Chemistry: The Molecular World of Odors'. I think the price has gone up massively recently because all the stock has been bought and they haven't yet done a re-print unfortunately.
Thank you so much! I am starting out making perfume and you are my favourite source on YT. Can you make a video on how you make your note sheets in detail?
Hey Sam! You mentioned an interesting term at 2:05 - olfactory quality. How do you measure that? Is this something subjective or can we standardize this comparison in some way? Btw, love the videos - have developed this interest lately and I think the way you’ve designed your videos has a role to play.
Hi Sam,I truly enjoyed your video and have subscribed for more. I'm so excited for these videos because I get so many misleading information from alot of websites. Can you please do a video on Jasminum Grandiflorum and Jasminum Sambac. Thank you! Gonna look at the rest now.
Thank you, I'm glad you can get some value out of the videos :) I'm no expert on jasmine but I think maybe this post could help you: www.sylvaine-delacourte.com/en/blog/jasmine#:~:text=The%20two%20most%20used%20species,is%20also%20found%20in%20China.
Hello and thanks for all the great information you provide on the channel. It is very informative and gives excellent tips andgives a roadmap as to how to methodically build your knowledge in what can seem like a very daunting undertaking. With respect to citrus oils in particular, I was curious what your thoughts on lime and blood orange oils are. Based on smelling the grated zest of each, blood orange seems quite similar to grapefruit if perhaps more bitter, pleasantly musty, and herbacious. Lime seems like something between lemon and orange with a slightly floral quality. Could you share your impressions of these and how you might use them in your own perfumes? Again, thanks for the excellent channel and I hope your online store and launch of your own perfume lines goes amazingly.
Thank you!! To me, blood orange is similar to sweet orange but more juicy. Grapefruit is the addition of tropical elements. Lemon is defined by Citral and lime is perhaps the most unrelated of them all, completely different.
Hey Sam. I ordered some of the materials from plush folly. Having watched this video again I realized I probably didn't need to get separate D'limonene and Citral as I have the essential oils of grapefruit, lemon and bergamot! Hopefully they are still useful
I think it's actually a good thing - Now you can compare the single molecule synthetics to the naturals containing them. This means you can see what the effect of all of the other molecules is in the natural beyond that major constituent. If you smell the limonene on a strip to make your nose tired to it then go back to smelling the naturals straight away, you will effectively smell what all of the other molecules in the natural smell like without the limonene. You can repeat this for citral.
@@sammacer I didn't think of it like that. Will be able to see how each component smells on their own. I also have seen that they can help the natural citrus last a bit longer. I am looking to make a men's fragrance with top notes of grapefruit and pineapple. Just waiting for the stuff to all arrive! Did you ever try buying from plush folly?
Hey Sam, I love your channel. What program are you using to make these PDF's of your notes? Would really appreciate the info! I like that you have the molecule structures and separate molecule names as well. Thanks in advance!
I had a question as well. Aren't all citric oils phototoxic? I think you mention only a couple of them being photo toxic. I'm trying to create natural perfumes with essential oils. People usually say, for application on skin essential oils in total should be 2-3% at max and rest carrier oils. But then, they say for perfumes, it should be 12-20%. I don't understand how that can be safe. 🤔
Theres a lot of conflicting information out there but not so many trustworthy sources. If you want reliable information, look up the oils you're interested in on the IFRA library: ifrafragrance.org/safe-use/library
Tell me synthetic oils available in market is mix with essential oil ? Like doir sauvage oil is max with bergamot to enhance its top note is this valid ? Its gives good result?
Please keep going and never stop it. I was in search for some good content on perfumery and found this. Very helpful.
Don't worry I have some more videos planned!

What a great presentation! Very easy for making sense! Thank you!
Wow, I love these notes you took on the tablet ❤ so useful, I will take you as an inspiration 😊
love it, especially the background/chemical info, keep going!
Thank you I appreciate the support!

They're more for a back-to-basics increasing your knowledge base sort of thing?
@@danlightened Oh no, I would use them, it's just at not always a very high percentage in the formula
Samsir. Its really very very enthusiastic for beginner lots citrus knowledge given like arkender's natural origin. Thanks. Sir.
So nice of you

This channel is a god-given. Thank you, Sam! What is the handbook you used in the video called? Cheers

Thank you, really glad to hear that! And honestly that’s not a technical term but it just means the different “qualities” of the smell
Just starting and thank you for your guide
No problem, good luck with your perfumery!
Good learning experience for all
Thank you

@@sammacer Thanks. It helps to know you are around to ask questions! Are you able to share that pdf you use in your video here? It looks very handy

Great and useful videos Sam. Thank you! From which book did you take the images of the molecules?
A book called “Scent and Chemistry”
@@sammacer Thanks and good job!☺
Great video! What book are you referencing at the 3:12 mark?
Thanks. It's Scent and Chemistry - the Molecular World of Odors
@@sammacer oh amazing. I literally just ordered that one. Thanks again! Looking forward to more videos.
@@truthsayer77 Glad you managed to find it somewhere, I hope you get good use out of it!
Where did you find the chemical breakdowns? Thanks!
No problem. I look online at research papers analysing the constituents of essential oils or reference books I own
@@sammacer Thank You!

Hi, what is the graphic at 4:20 from? Looks like an online shop bc of the price? or did you make them yourself?
Yeah I made them myself
How do you order from Pall Wall. I went to their site and there is no where to place an order
I think they had trouble with their website last week - maybe check their FAQ page or send an email
Hey there! What book is used at around minute 3:10?
Scent & Chemistry: amzn.to/3udnRhU (new edition available for pre-order: amzn.to/3bMBz54)
