Small comment, Sam. It's always best to wet your filter paper with a little bit of perfumers alcohol first, especially if you're trying to filter out materials which can have solids or impurities (like Violet Leaf Absolute, true Oakmoss Absolute, pure labdanum, etc).
Also, sometimes there can be a filter paper odor if this isn't done. So always discard the alcohol you use to wet rinse/clean your filter paper. Saw this tip from "Mountain Aromatics". His channel is also great. Cheers.
Nice tip, thanks Jay!
Just a little tip for ppl using the screw caps: If you overturn them 1 or 2 complete turns in opening direction before tightening them, the pumpinghose will create some tension that prevents the screw cap to loosen and start leaking. Well the downside of this "method" is, the tension will cause damage to the pump after a few refills, so they have to be replaced from time to time
Definitely a good idea to have them as tight as possible :)
Sam. Thank you very much for the work you do. I'm truly impressed of how altruistic you are.
Do you have any suggestions on where to buy the perfume bottles, crimp less pumps, and labels?
I now buy from Stocksmetic but there are many other companies you can find on google. For labels just search 'buy custom printed labels' and there are many companies.
Hi Sam I`m happy there`s someone like you give lots of useful information about perfumery! I`m currently in the process of developing my own perfume brand and I`m starting to have a look into packaging design, legal requirements and everything that is essential to be legally selling to the market (UK mainly but EU possibly). It`s very early to think of that right now, however I want to fully understand legal compliance and attractive design for when it will be time. Could you help me identifying good designers for boxes? Yours looks well made tbh. Right now I`m 4 months in focused on learning, improving and polishing the formula for my perfume, I don`t have any background in perfumery but I`m a professional sommelier, smelling wines for 6 years and I have to say that this job is all about the nose! I`ve been blessed with a exceptional sense of smell and olfactory memory. 😃
if you`re interested I`ll be extremely happy to send you few little samples of what I`m trying to develop, I`m hungry for feedbacks and I`m sure you`ve got plenty of useful once for me. Everything in my formula is IFRA compliant!
Feel free to email me at sam@lux-terra.co.uk
I wish I had known how much of a headache these crimp bottles can be if you don't have the expensive professional crimping tool. I destroyed too many bottles already, and even if I don't, the bottle might leak, just as you told. Thanks for this very informative video. Are you going to make a video about your perfumes before you launch?
Yeah haha I smashed the bottle by crimping too hard the first time and glass and perfume went everywhere.
I'm not planning on a video for the perfume because the channel I assume is mostly people wanting to make their own. It's on all the social media outlets for my brand though.
How expensive are we talking here?
Thanks again Sam for an extremely useful in depth educational video for aspiring perfume enthusiasts wanting to take the next step.
Thank you!
Thanks
No problem
What are we trying to filter out?
Also, does using the filter lower the scent potency? I feel like when i filtered one of my perfumes, the oils holding fragrance were left behind?
I bought a cheap crimper and it didn't work, I then bought one for £400 and it works like a dream.
Amazingly informative video thank you so much for sharing this knowledge you have it's greatly appreciated.
Glad I can help
Hey there, I’ve been watching your videos here and there.While I’m not a fragrance maker myself, I found your videos very well suited for me as an avid consumer of fragrances.
On that note, would you be interested to create a buyers guide on fragrance substances, their functions & potential dangers of them in the long term usage? I found myself very perplexed reading the contents of my fragrances and not knowing which substances are to be avoided.
Unfortunately there would be no way to do this. The reason is that fragrances don't actually tell you what's in them, it's kept a secret. Just because a note is listed in the marketing doesn't indicate the presence of any one thing as sometimes smells are made by combining completely different things than you might expect.
Thorough and useful information all in one place. Sam, your accent is intriguing. Are you from Minnesota or Wisconsin?
Nope, I am from the United Kingdom 🇬🇧. Glad the information can help.
I wonder where he got those lovely bottles?
Use syringe filters to minimize the losses. Polysulfone filter is resistant to alcohol.
?
Great and very informative Video, thanks a lot! Do you know if and under what conditions it will would be able to order your fragrances from Europe? Cheers!
Hey Tim, thanks for the support! I don't currently have a distributor nor can I ship to Europe, so your best bet is if you know someone visiting the UK. However, hopefully in the future that will change - make sure you're signed up to the mailing list on my website or follow the brand on instagram to hear about updates on this!
@@sammacer Will Do. I´m also still in love with "Astral Water" and hope that it will be still available. Thanks!
@@timmatkowski3840 email me at sam@lux-terra.co.uk about it as I still have a tiny bit left
On the note of filling, could you cover the molecular processes behind the settling maceration within the bottle?
Unfortunately as a perfumer you never really know what's going on as it's far too complicated. That's why you do the stability test - leave it for some months to see what happens.
Why do you have to filter the fragrance before bottling?
Also can you provide a link to the funnel and filter paper you use
@@bryantiamson5704 You need to filter it to stop dust and particles blocking the spray pump. Try these: amzn.to/3mr9CES amzn.to/3FqAfS0
Hi Sam. Great videos. Can you recommend a UK based CPSR evaluator for perfume? I know of many for cosmetics but haven't come across any specifically for perfume. Thanks!
I use this one: www.perfume-courses.co.uk/perfume-creation-services/technical-services
@@sammacer Thanks so much! Really appreciate all your time and effort : )
Very useful info. Thank you!
My pleasure!
I am enjoying your videos very much. Did you have some up back in 2017 also?
Thanks, and no I did not, must have been something else
hey Sam, thanks a lot for the explanation. First of all, i want to ask how to sterilize or clean the bottle before you do the filling process? should we just use boiled water or methanol?
don't use methanol, ever - it can be absorbed through the skin, eyes, etc. and is very dangerous. The final perfume in either EdT/EdP is already bacteriostatic(heck, bactericidal) at 70-90% ethanol.
Bro please make a video about mixing other oils with agarwood oil..!!
Unfortunately I don't have any agarwood oil as it's very expensive
How do you stop dust particles inside the bottle? Im considering getting sprayed bottles just to save mysekf the headache
You’d filter the perfume, other than that you’d have to rinse the bottle with alcohol right before filling
Dear Sam, really great video ! Can you please tell me if those self crimping Stockcosmetic bottles are leaking or it's ok with them. Did you try the small plastic crimper they sell. Thank you very very much :).
No they don't leak :) I didn't get their crimper because I already had one but I'm sure it would be fine (even if it may be a little overpriced)
@@sammacer Thank you very much for the information Sam. The crimper is actually overpriced, but i'll try it :). They told me about it last year, when they started to sell auto crimping pumps :) Thanks a lot again for info - i'll order some samples from them.
@@MiKristina Good luck!
@@sammacer Thank you Sam ! Warm wishes :)
Hai Sir , if I want make my own Parfume , which prefer essential oil or Fragrance oil? and how to make my Parfume more durable?
Hi Sam! It's me again. I'm learning very much with your shares, specially because in Argentina is difficult to get some materials or books about perfumes (you have to be a wizard to import anything).
Can you recommend some book I can buy in pdf about alcohols and synthetics materials? My formulas are getting better but still feeling flat, and I think that the "3D" sensation when you smell a perfume it's related to these materials.
I'm not sure I know a book that would be ideal for what you want, but I've heard good things about 'An introduction to perfumery' by Tony Curtis, so that may be a good one to try. Maybe someone else has a recommendation?
@@sammacer Thank you for the recommendation! I'll check it.
Aloha... I need that exact style bottle. Any loving input on where to get these?? Thanks so much. Mahalo nui.
Well I can’t give away all of my secrets 😉 but you will find a lot of similar bottles quickly with google!
Hi Sam, great video :). Would you mind sharing where you purchased your perfume boxes from please? Cheers
Sure - I got mine from Stocksmetic
Cheers Sam :)
Aah finally. I was waiting for this
Hope you enjoyed it dude
Yes indeed. Thanks so much
Great video
Thank you
I’m curious Sam, since this Is a year old…how did your perfume sell? Do you feel it was successful? I wish we could get it here in the states. Maurice
Thank you! I am working on a solution, its possible it will be available in the states this year. I wouldn’t say successful in a global sense but the most successful perfume I’ve launched to date.
Nice to know!
Perfumery practises and principal in this book page no.17 how statement described
Sorry but I don’t understand
What are the legal requirements for compounding and bottling your fragrance yourself at home? with regards to hygiene etc?
I found the law fairly vague, but this book may help: amzn.to/3LOXoBc
@@sammacer Thanks!
Can you do a video in the formula for a production batch please?
Haha no since it’s a trade secret for my brand
@@sammacer can you just do a random one scent? I am struggling on how to calculate. 🙁 That’s all we don’t you to give away your secret scents.
Just came across your Spotify. Niiiiiice!
Nice dude 👌
Thanks a lot for great information it helps a lot for new beginners like us . Kindly update us with how to increase intense amount of sillage in any perfume Plzzzzz Thanks
Check out my video on 'increasing projection' as silage is quite synonymous with projection
@@sammacer I saw that video 3 times and I feel like u must make part 2 about sillage i will be very thankful to you and appreciate your efforts . U are doing awesome work.
@@sammacer most of the videos i saw about projection is that masters like you in perfumery says people confuses projection with sillage . And its quite similar but in a very different way . Kindly can you do a favor by making part 3 and students like new beginners could learn more. Including me
@@sohaibjavaid8403 Honestly, there's nothing more I have to add at the moment!
@@sammacer thanks again and i will try my best to understand more by watching again and again . I find quite hard and difficult to understand your accent.😭
Brother i Love your videos.. I Am intrested to do make perfume.. how can know the measurements of blending into 50 ml or 100 ml bottles
Make 100 g and then see how much of that it takes to fill the bottle. In the future you can just make that weight.
What did you use to build your website? looks professional.
Shopify
How would i know if the formula i made is already copyrighted or not
As far as I’m aware it’s practically impossible to enforce copyright on perfume formulas
@sammacer thats good cause i created a rose and jasmine perfume from my mum and smells so familiar im sure there is a commercial version of it
Hey sam could u please show us how did u made a crimping pump tools like u used on a video
It’s just a disk of MDF which I got cut to the right size
I think it’ll will be nice idea if made one
@@kurdvevoofficial For sure
Sam excellent stuff...just tell me when you say a raw material is Warm....whats it meant?
That's a descriptor word, so it doesn't mean it's actually warm, just that I think it gives that association in the way it smells
Hey Sam!
Cannot ship to Portugal?
Is it normal? Thanks and good luck.
Hey, thanks! Unfortunately I cannot due to the international shipping restrictions. I'm hoping to find a European stockist at some point and if I can make that happen I'll provide an update!
@@sammacer Thanks! Really curious to check your fragrance!
Hi Sam , is it hard or easy to find an cpsr in Uk for you?
No it isn’t, we even offer than at The Fragrance Foundry now via a partner
@@sammacer what is the best way to get in contact with your company?

Thoughts on consumers relying on perfume “maceration”? One side swears by it and say their perfumes improved for the better(smell and performance-wise) after leaving it alone(but previously used) for some time, while the other side says myth(Francis Kurkdjian even reinforced that oxygen is the enemy and advised to consume the perfume “at a brisk pace” once the bottle has been opened, especially when it’s half-full). Would love to hear your input on this.
Enjoyed the vid btw!
Well, in a sense, both are correct. When you leave a perfume, anything can react and get better or worse over time. This is such a complex process, it's impossible to know beforehand as a perfumer, which is why you leave it to find out. Some perfumes will get better and round off, whereas others will degrade and become worse. The latter is especially true for citrus perfumes.
@@sammacerKinda similar but different question. What's your take on shaking a perfume bottle that we've purchased? Most say it messes up the perfume.
But on the other side of perfume making, I saw a few videos of perfumers mixing the ingredients with a magnetic blender, coffee blender etc. They saw it's to properly mix everything together. Is that really required?
After 1 year I maked my own perfume, a dark forest style. But due to infinite legal laws, I will never sell it in series
You can get there one day!
Hey sam been following for awhile and I got overwhelmed when trying to start my own brand of perfume because of the bottles themselves, where do you go to get bottles im not trying to buy in 500+ bulk but maybe max 100 for the time being, Im looking for bottles that look similar to the Dior Tobacolor style series ones that cylinder style ones
Amazing vid bruv 🫡🫱🏾🫲🏻
Cheers
