A musk to consider in incense accords would be *Musk R1.* Paird with a smokey material it can already form a very basic accord reminiscent of incense sticks. Similarly works *12-oxahexadecanolide* (actually Musk R1 = 11-oxahexadecanolide), but it's harder to find/less frequently offered. A good woody material to use with incense accords containing one of those musks (or both) would be methyl cedryl ketone, especially if the goal is a darker theme.
I love that you didn’t even for a second consider a frankincense material for this accord! :D I’ll definitely make this one up cz basically every material you chose are favorites of mine I reach for very often, except for the oakmoss so I’m very intrigued to base it on that. I probably would’ve started this on Olibanum Vulcain and IDD if it was a brief for a more realistic or conventional approach, but I am absolutely curious about this accord.
Great point. Lots of people think Frankincense when they hear the term incense, however I use the term in the broader sense so for me it’s not always the first thing that comes to mind. That said, there is a frankincense note in the Oud base and frankincense would have fitted well inside this composition
Great video as per usual. The office/studio is looking great. I'm working on an incense perfume at the moment. Bergamotto incense. The star material is deffo the CO2 extract, incense carterii
Thanks Sam for this informative video, I really like this format. I love ambrocenide as it just seems to bring something special in the base for some of the formulas that I have been working on. It is also one of my favourite materials. I haven't tried using any cinnamon in my accords but I think I will try this out and see if I like it. Yes to more accords thanks
Another excellent vid Sam. Great tip about the cinnamon. I'm might just have to borrow that woody super-amber moniker too. 😉 Nothing subtle about many of them, that's for sure.
Love your videos Sam! They have helped a lot. I wanted to ask something about dilution. If I get something prediluted in DPG, do I consider it a 100% when making perfume because if it's diluted in ethanol, we can subtract that amount in post. But DPG is different, So what to do with it? Thank you so much ❤
I ordered 9 chemicals 2hours ago, and I had in checkout ambrocenide, then I took it off, then put it in again, and I ordered without it... 1 hour ago you talk about ambrocenide :( .... castoreum is wonderful, got it last week with civete... civet not as good as castoreum
Hey Sam good videos as always. I have a few great men's perfume and want to know how to publish if that's what you call it my men's cologne I can't keep up with the demand. I'm in the usa
Cis-jasmone alone isn’t enough to recreate the smell of jasmine, however that’s one component which you can couple with others to make a jasmine recreation. This is something I walk through in my online course.

I haven’t smelled musk R1, I’m sure vertofix would work well here
I’m actually working on an oud formula in the incensy direction so this video came right in time. Thanx for another great video mate
Cheers mate, good luck with your formula

Love this videos ! Keep doing it ! Do more accords please !
Absolutely love castoreum. Hyrax as well but hard to get and expensive.

Thank you, let us know how the cinnamon goes
Hope you will talk about tea accord next video
I currently already have some videos planned, however I do give combinations for tea accords in my online course
Really enjoyed this video, lots of good info. Thank you!
Cheers mate

You can do either. I usually treat it as already diluted but not all perfumers do and you don’t have to.
I love muscone ❤

Civet is great if you like the smell of ass haha
love it
San, it was great.
Are u making the initial dilutions in alcohol?
Yes, and thank you
Hey Sam good videos as always. I have a few great men's perfume and want to know how to publish if that's what you call it my men's cologne I can't keep up with the demand. I'm in the usa
I’d imagine you’d either want to look at finding a production company & distributor or look at doing it all in house yourself
Hello Sam, what if we don't have natural jasmine can we replace it with Cis Jasmone or other AC compounds ?
Thank you

Nice
Kinda unrelated to the vid but what could you do to get a perfume that smells like cotton candy
Ethyl maltol + Vanillin is Jean Claude Ellena’s famous cotton candy accord
@@sammacer thank you so much! I’m pretty young and you have made this new hobby so accessible! I am truly grateful

How do you make a fragrance that smells like milk?
Milk lactone is quite good
@@sammacer where do you get it?
