@@mattolivier9465 What a needlessly mean comment from someone who's just trying to help beginner perfumers. What makes you say this? everything Sam has taught in his many videos has helped me a lot
I really appreciate this video as well as your others. Very informative and I made sure to take plenty of notes. Thank you so much for being apart of my journey! Blessings to you!
Thanks for making this! I am a beginner at perfume making. I am focusing primarily on building masculine Chypre fragrances. This has given me a lot of insight and confirmed some things I discovered on my own, like binary mixes and building on that.
I’ve been Perfume binge watching for a whole week now on UA-cam & other, and this Video is EXACTLY what I was looking for & needed,… So informative & well layed out 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 *I’ll definitely be watching your Channel more…
I love to watch your videos specially when you explain each one of your topic so clean like Jivco Rose 🌹 a real treat for the bigginers like me, god bless
Very interesting! Learning how smells interact with one another will be enlightening. Also I appreciate the attention to detail so people can "hopefully" avoid wasting ingredients.
I've started to follow you from Italy...it's the first time I see so much material❤ All these things are what I was searching for! Keep on perfume the world💪
Thank you buddy ... i truly appreciate and respect people like urself ... who know what they talking about ... straight to the point ... its real ... its an awesome tutorial ..

Made with HARPA AI
Love this man my instincts told me to buy essential oils wpuld be a bad idea your vodeos confirmed it givea me a really solid start ive always been obsessed with smells so i really want to learn this thanks for the knowledge
Hey Sam, appreciate the wealth of knowledge! I'd like to propose initiating some enjoyable online experiments to delve into more intricate accords or blends! cheers from Palestine
Your video is a godsend for me who's just getting back to playing around with perfumery. Very clear, detailed, and easy to follow. Now if I can only find a local source for the synthetics here...
Damn this is so helpful. I bought a bunch of EOs, perf alcohol and some of the materials. Wound up smelling like a mixture of essential oils lol. Thank you for this!!!
You do a great job of explaining the rationale for why you recommend doing things a particular way. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. And I've ordered your Amber Shadow from Scent Trunk.
Thanks so much for this info! Would it be possible to provide the CAS numbers for each ingredient? Mainly because these ingredients are named slightly differently at each store and it gets a little confusing. Thank you!
Very precious video for beginners thanks! I have had a question while watching the “How to blend” part: So when making binary mixtures, do we need to choose the materials in between the top-mid-base parts? For example if i want to make a binary mixture should i choose the two ingredients as two top note ingredients or can i also choose between top-mid , mid-base? Afterwards when structuring the binary mixtures together, do they need to be mixed in a pyramidal order from base to top?
This was so informative! Well layed out and clearly communicated. I'd love to see a video about what books you'd recommend reading as a beginner and to an intermediate, explaining their content and why it's important.
Thank you. Yes that's something I would like to do sometime, maybe after I've read some more myself. In the meantime I've done a couple of book reviews already on the channel and will probably continue with this series.
You're a hero with these videos, man! Here comes my question. How long after having made 10% dilution should I wait before smelling it on a paper strip or integrate with another molecules/accords? Does one such time interval apply to all of the dilutions? Will you make a video on different solvents? I wonder when to dilute in DPG, ethanol, or whether to get TEC or IPM, although I've been told ethanol usually will be the best option upon going solely for dilutions and the ones like DPG or TEC for the ultimate blend with ready concentrate.
It’s fine to smell it as soon as your nose has had a chance to have some fresh air and you’ve shaken it well. I never use other solvents so I can’t give advice; usually they’re used by shops to make things pourable but there’s no benefit for the final perfume
This is so informative. I always love parfumery, but lately I'm starting to think to made one myself. Especially since i live In Indonesia, i think i have more selection of essential oil to choose for.
Regarding the amber accord, I want to learn Ambreine Natural (an alternative to Labdanum Absolute) and blend it with rice Vanillin. Ambreine Natural is very strong in 10% dilution so I believe, that 1% dilution will be really helpful to create a more smooth balanced Amber. I also thought about a blend of these two ingredients together with Iso E Super and Amborxan to create a more neutral commercial and modern amber accord. What are you thoughts, Sam?
Could clarify for me? So if I want to make 10ml of perfumebottle. How do I do that? Let‘s say I make up 2ml natural oils (0.6ml top note, 1ml middle note, 0.4 base note). So i fill up 8ml perfumers alcohol, right? How do I do this with dilutions and accords? Are these the 2ml? How much should be the ratio for alcohol and perfume? 20% perfume, 80% alcohol? Thank you so much man! 🙏
Not so simple since ml don’t always add up like you would expect. You should make 10g and then weigh how much of that fills up 10ml since it will be slightly different for each perfume depending on what’s inside
Great beginner guide, however famous fragrances undergo months of testing before reaching the stores. How do I know that the fragrance I made is safe to use on my skin??
You can evaluate a scent just using a drop or 2 (0.02g). Your goal is just to have enough for a scent strip so no reason to waste oil or alcohol, both of which may be both costly. And honestly, given that alcohol must be shipped ground, you could (like me) wait up to 10 days for delivery.
Hey Ron. I can understand using this method if getting hold of alcohol is an issue. I wouldn't agree that it's the same though because the amount going onto the scent strip is much less consistent and the evaporation is not the same as in alcohol. Also you can't compare the effect of different dilutions like this, which is a critical reference to the levels in formulas you make.
If I could spend the day with you, learning perfume. That view from the window is so beautiful!!! I live in NYC, US we don't have open views like that.. just buildings. blahh
Hi Sam, I recently just delved into perfumery and just bought my basic tools. So glad to have found you on here, instantly subscribed! Quick question, around the 15:33 mark on your video above when you said take a pipette and get an ingredient and measure it out to 0.5 --- Do I stop at 0.005 or 0.500? I just wanted to make sure I'm doing it right when I'm using my scale. Thank you in advance!
@@sammacer That’s what my common sense told me yesterday so I started diluting a few ingredients! Thank you for confirming. Gonna be going through all your videos as I try to learn this art thanks to your expertise! 🙏🏽
So I don’t mind being idiot in the room.. how in the end is the perfume made? If you have accords and mix of top mid notes you like, and they are all on different level of dilutions.. how is the final 20/80 % formula made? If 80% is alcohol, but some of the accord already have dilated ingredients… 😅
You’d use differing dilutions and pure raw materials to get the final dilution you want. Beginning formulas using only dilutions makes life easy for development purposes but you can always rewrite and scale your formula later.
Finally a UA-camr who does not address me as if I were in a room full of people all huddled around my computer. So refreshing to not hear, "Hi, everybody", when I am watching all by myself. UA-camrs should learn from their advertisers who NEVER communicate with you as a member of a faceless group. Clearly, Sam has learned and followed the teachings in Lesson #1 from the Arthur Godfrey school of broadcasting in the 1950s. Know who your audience is.
Hi Sam. Great video! Thanks for all this invaluable wisdom :) I started mixing some oils with perfumers alcohol and water (as I read that it can bring a better smell to the final result, any thoughts on that?). My question is, how do I keep them from separating? The oils + alcohol mixed perfectly but the water keeps separating. How do most perfume houses or perfumers that list water as an ingredient keeps them all together? Thabk you very much! Cheers!
So do I create a top notes accord, a mid and a base notes accord and then I mix them together to create a perfume? Thats the crude idea? Or the accord is itself a mixture of different types of notes? For example, an accord comprised of lemon (top), lavender(mid), and labdanum(base)
Great Video Sam, wish I'd seen this before I'd splurged on a load of ingredients I don't really use or know what to do with. Thankfully I've now got most of those materials you reccomended.
thank you so much for all this basics explained so smoothly. Do you have any recommendation of suppliers if i dont live in UK or US ? Keep doing this great job Best from France :)
@@sammacer Thanks for your answer :) i see it only today, and i am already waiting for my first order from Pell Wall yeeees ! I will check the last vid ! thanks for your great work ! Best Leo
Are those citrus scents also produced in labs? I have wondered for many years whether chemically manufactured molecular structures are healthy or safe. I'm addicted to many lab created perfumes so it would be difficult for me to quit using those. But I only used plant based perfume oils for many years after I gave my designer perfumes to a friend. But then I discovered the imitation oils and was too curious to find out how they smell. I'm wearing the version of Gold Couture by Juicy Couture right now it's my favorite of all. So addictive. I'm sure it contains ambroxan.
First of all, thank you for the video. Do you have a hint for ingredient suppliers in Europe or especially in Germany? I actually can't find any alternatives to pell wall... Grateful for any hint, cheers
I have a reason to ask when i mke my perfume blend with fragnance oil i does last long but projection is not to good hardly 50cm why is it and i m not using any fixative instead using glycerine if this is the problem can I use galaxolide plus dp in my 60ml perfume blend ....if anyone see help me
Hey! Great video, i just discovered your channel, and im really happy that i did. It’s a shame, you don’t have more subscribers with such high quality videos. When you were listing the ingredients they strangely sounded familiar. I made a post on basenotes yesterday where to start and it turns out, you’ve been answering my question. Thanks for the help! I have a question though: When materials are pre-diluted in solvents like DPG or TEC, should i buy those solvents or just further dilute them with perfumers alcohol? Also: how should i dissolve solid ingredients like ethyl maltol? Thanks in advance!
Hi Konstantin, great to hear you enjoyed the video! The reason that ingredients are prediluted in DPG or TEC is usually that they are very thick meaning you can't pipette them and alcohol may not dissolve them well at low dilution. After this however, they should be fine to dilute further in alcohol - this is what I do. I don't currently own any DPG or TEC. Solid ingredients like ethyl maltol usually dissolve fine in alcohol; so as long as you have a scale you can dilute them by weight in the same way as anything else. You can use a scent strip like a spatula to help weight out the powder / crystals. Hope this helps!

Hi Konstantin, great to hear you enjoyed the video! The reason that ingredients are prediluted in DPG or TEC is usually that they are very thick meaning you can't pipette them and alcohol may not dissolve them well at low dilution. After this however, they should be fine to dilute further in alcohol - this is what I do. I don't currently own any DPG or TEC. Solid ingredients like ethyl maltol usually dissolve fine in alcohol; so as long as you have a scale you can dilute them by weight in the same way as anything else. You can use a scent strip like a spatula to help weight out the powder / crystals. Hope this helps!
