Btw, I feel like the term, "amber," is used quite liberally in your personal lexicon. For example, I don't really get amber from kephalis. Amber is, classically, a combination of vanilla, benzoin, and labdanum. To my nose, there is nothing vanillic about kephalis. It is simply a sharp woody note.
It is actually the description the company who makes it uses. “Woody, Ambery, Tobacco, Rich”. In fact I just did a search on perfumers apprentice for Amber and almost all of the results are “woody ambers”. I wonder if the term amber often used is associated with the labdanum facet in the traditional accord.
@@wib6044 I use it in my own compositions, and to my nose, the description just doesn't seem to fit. Maybe they mean smelling similarly to ambergris, but that's not the classic accord to which most modern perfumers are referring when they say, "amber." It's a fantasy note, evoking an amber-ish color in the mind to some. It's smooth, rich, and deep. Kephalis is sharper than that, and very light; it lacks any real depth of its own, and relies heavily on supporting fragrances to really give it any legs. It's great as a facet of a woody composition, but it's not very useful as a central figure.
Hello Sam, from your formula it seems like Bacdanol and Sanjinol are the same, but i think you know that they are isomers. I like to mix Kohinool with Koavone and Bacdanol for a more flowery-orris-woody accord.
Good call on going back to past work. I've always been a proponent of mindful sensory evolution, and although it's likely happening all the time in subtle ways, experiencing the same stimulant at two different times can make it more apparent. Appreciate your descriptions of Zingerone and Trimofix too. 👌 Not very familiar with either, despite probably having encountered them in perfumes in the past.
Fantastic video yet again. I did want to ask regarding making accords, if I used a bottle to make an amber accord, can I wash the bottle with ethanol and use that bottle for the same amber accord but with more Labdanum or something. Will it be alright or should I just dispose of the bottle and never use it again?
@@dewankiscents in my experience, yes, you'll want to dispose of that bottle. We're working with molecules here, there's no justification for reusing glass materials.
So a question that seems to be missed a lot, how would you change that accord to a fine fragrance formula without using it as a single new material? Would you just add other materials (ie: linalyl acetate, pea, cis 3 hexanol) to the accord formula? And by adding different or contrasting materials, would it convert the woody formula to say a woody with a citrus facet by adding a smidge of a citrus like lemon? When I see formulas, bases and accords are not used much as a single material but usually created within the fragrance instead. Maybe a new video idea? I dunno lol. Thanks!
i am still confuse on accords what do you do with them after you are done making them do you add them to a base or add it to another accord to make perfume.
Exactly what you said. Accord is just a unique blend to make a unique smell to add to other unique smells to make a unique perfume. You got it right first time :)
Hi Sam! I ordered the Winchester bottles from you, the 182 pack and they're just incredible.. But now they're out of stock, will you stock them up again any time soon? Ive never found any bottles better suited for perfumery (perfect size, thick amber glass, perfect caps) thanks
Thank you for ordering with me! Yes I agree they really are just the perfect bottle, that’s why I decided to use them myself & stock them in the first place. I’m currently having some supply chain issues which is preventing restocking, however I’m actively working on a solution to get them back in stock as soon as possible. I’m sorry for the inconvenience!
Hi everyone, I’m in the process of creating my own perfume and am looking for mid or high-quality synthetic fragrance ingredients. Can anyone recommend reputable suppliers or stores in the UK where I can purchase these synthetic ingredients? I’m looking for options that offer both quality and reliability. Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
By DIY do you mean a few essential oils in alcohol? Adding small amounts of DPG can work without as much impact on smell. Vegetable glycerin might even work, though I’ve never tried that. If your a new hobbyist, try slowly adding small amounts of fixatives like benzyl benzoate (perfumers apprentice has a fixative base composed mostly of this material). Increase the amount of musks. You can also increase the concentration. Ultimately it is how you build the perfume, and that can be a tedious and frustrating process. Im assuming you love how it smells, but just want it to last longer, but adding “base notes” that have little to no odor will impact how it smells.
The other important thing is to let it sit. The materials have to fully bond together. Let it sit for at least 2 weeks, giving it a good swirl every couple days. 3 months to a year is common for commercial products. I have stuff I gave up on, only to come back to it 6 months later and it actually performs really well. I would make up 4-5 different variations of strength and fixatives. Forget about it for a few months. Then come back to it and test it. Good luck!
Hi sam love from India I m Addy i m making my own inspired perfume brand and retail it I have zero knowledge if perfume I talked to many manufacturer and came to conclusions I m buying inspired Tam dai diptyque+Dunhill fragrance oil mix it equally then add fixative and enhancer and then mix it in the ratio of 40% concentrate & 60% alcohol I have 2 questions Give me exact name if fixative & enhance to use in this diptyque Dunhill mix fragrance and is there anything else i need to add di i need ti stir it with hand ir with mixer 2nd question how many days or weeks would it be kept in cold and dark place to mature enough to resell it use it olease answer

Adding another raw material to my next order. Thanks, Sam! ❤

I recently made my own DIY perfume but it doesn't last long. What could I add to my perfume to make the scent last long?
Materials that last longer.
By DIY do you mean a few essential oils in alcohol? Adding small amounts of DPG can work without as much impact on smell. Vegetable glycerin might even work, though I’ve never tried that.
If your a new hobbyist, try slowly adding small amounts of fixatives like benzyl benzoate (perfumers apprentice has a fixative base composed mostly of this material).

Im assuming you love how it smells, but just want it to last longer, but adding “base notes” that have little to no odor will impact how it smells.
@@wib6044 Thank you so much I will certainly do that. I tried glycerin but it really didn't prolong the scents at all.
The other important thing is to let it sit. The materials have to fully bond together.

3 months to a year is common for commercial products.
