this video would help us save hundreds dollar of wrong buy material, thanks a LOT man
PLEASE do not stop making videos!!! i see you have slowed down a lot... and I'm sure that you have something like a life going on, so I don't mean to blindly accost you with guilt about it, but this is the first video of yours that I'm watching and I just love the way you talk about the notes and accords... I can tell you have done a lot of hands-on work with these scents and it's just wonderful the way that you share and express that. I am really infatuated with perfumery, and the way that it mimics music how you build a melody; marry that with the fact that smell is the sense that is the most connected to memory? Please, this is a psychology-art. Don't leave us!!! I'm marching on to watch as much of your videos as I can digest!!!! Thank you so much!!
You are amazing I feel like this is a very gatekept hobby and it’s nice to see someone trying to actually inform people with thorough information
🎉🎉😂😮😅😊
Oh wow I thought when an ex boyfriend wrote me a song and sung it to me that it was the best gift ever but to have a guy take the time and actually make a perfume just for me, well that’s just the most beautiful and loving thing anyone can do. I’d treasure it forever. I’ve seen professional perfumers say it sometimes takes them up to a year to create the most perfect perfume for them. That’s awesome
im from pakistan your vedios is very info & learn tips . Awsome vedio . Keep it up 👍
Materials I would add to this list as Basics for Men's Cologne Materials: Veramoss (synthetic Oakmoss), Cashmeran (synthetic musk highly used in men's colognes), Aldemone/Precyclemone B, Helional, Alpha Isomethyl Ionone (sometimes called "Gamma Ionone Couer"), Magnolan, Geranium EO, Pink Pepper EO (or CO2 extract), Ginger CO2 extract.
Some "Step-up" Men's Cologne Materials: Sylvamber (similar to Iso E Super, but higher isomer concentration), Hedione HC (High cis, has higher amount of cis isomer), Vetrofix/Cedryl Methyl Ketone, Kephalis, Myrac Aldehyde, Citral, Nerol, Allyl Amyl Glycolate, Farnesol, Birch Tar (rectified) and AmberXtreme.
You're on point 👍
Thanks I definitely was looking for this
Wow i too can read the ingredients list of parfumes 🫣
I just discovered your channel: you just saved me from buying the wrong materials. Very informative. Thank you ! 😊
Beside all great info, i do really very much appreciate all the time and effort you put in this video. Here are hours of recording, scripting your video to have a logic and everybody to understand.
On top of all of these i love the genuine, true knowledge shared without dodge.
I can tell through the lens that you are an amazing person. Wish you all the best!
Thank you! 🙂
Amazing!! You are the kindest most given Parfumerer ever !!
Thank you so much for this packed and overflowing rafter full of knowledge 🙏🙏🙏
Hey just letting you know your content is way more useful than those with more clicks. Thank you!!
Love how you took the time to break it down and tons of great information, Thanks!
can't imagine how grateful i am for this video ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for such a wonderful video. I learnt so much, from the names to the aromas to the blends. Your description is absolutely clear, so much that I could imagine how each essence smells. Appreciate your teaching.
Great job mate!
Can't wait to get started. Thanks.
Half way through this video - this is excellent and exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much for taking the time to put a video like this together.
Amazing video. Worth watching 3 times with your notebook and pen!
Your introduction is so good. It addresses basically every concerns & questions that I, as a beginner, would have. *Continues watching*
Fascination and curiosity on perfume making brought me here, though its not a subject of my profession.
This is the best channel ever i came across to admire and learn good things in perfume making in such clean and crisp way.
Wish i had some time to pursue this art as hobby some day.
May this channel reach 1 million...Insha Allah.
There are no words to describe how grateful I am for the work you are doing.. Thank you very much for all the information you share with us..May God reward you with what you deserve..Greetings from Libya
I don't think I have ever been so grateful to find a channel and creator on UA-cam than today. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am really excited now to start exploring, experimenting and trying new things and I owe that spark of creation becoming a flame to you today.
Dive deep into the the mind of a highly intellectual individual. Many props for the calculator been using it for some time.
Thanks for spreading the scent!
This was so helpful!!! Thank you for such a thoughtful video.
Wow, thank you so much for the detailed video, wish I saw this when I first started. Super helpful in providing guidance for fragrances. All this as free information!!! You are the Best!
So glad I came across you videos! This is my first video but believe me I’m going to watch them all! As a beginning perfumer I really appreciate you making this content for us! I’m actually flying to Scott’s valley in August to take the 6hr course at perfumers apprentice! I’m so stoked! Anyways thank you so much
OMG thanks so much! I'm excited to scoop these up!
Highly appreciated. I was searching for such kind of a video. Great work. U make it easy
This is what an awesome video. Thank you! And especially for the tip about bottle caps!
The best video I found on this channel. Thanks so much 🙏 💓 ☺️ for the easy explanation of this session.
Truly excellent! - Many thanks for sharing your extensive knowledge, well appreciated.
Excellent video. Thank you so much for all this detailed information. I learned a lot. Particularly about not storing your materials in the dropper bottles. Going to have to check all of mine now and get the correct caps. Thanks again 👍
Can’t thank you enough I already have so many things that I bough since perhaps two years ago, and until I learned the dilitoution lesson two or three days ago from this channel I was would never know why most of my creations smell the same. It’s because of these very strong notes that no matter how little I try to put they would still overwhelm or stay present. In fact I now see that investing in a good scale right away is a must I always counted drops This very lesson ( this video ) is super informative you made me see that I can one day create something to be proud of.
I can get some essential oils from the Middle East and North Africa for much less that the prices you mentioned here but I’ll see a way to try and buy me a full kit of your recommenced hand picked choices because I been watching you for a few days now. And I can tell that you put a big effort into choosing these particular ones. So I’ll be taking a Great Leap Forward if only I can get me this whole big kit of today’s lesson
I was just thinking why not store every thing in a dedicated fridge just so I keep my bottles with pipette I just order them yesterday as soon as I realized I must dilute but I’ll be a good student and follow your instructions to the T

Great feature! Highly appreciated! Cheers from Sweden! 🇸🇪
Grateful for this class. Excellent presentation, Like you i live a small house, storage is very important to me also. I have a small back office that i make body butter's and facial lotions. I can easily share the space. I live in Africa and this is going to be great to add to my line of beauty products. thank you for the time you took to teach us beginners. I have a lot to learn. i will take my time!
Thanks so much for sharing your insight! Just bought a lotttt based on your recommendations. Can't wait to experiment!
Man, thanks so much for putting this together. I saw that you have newer videos on the same topic, but I just wanted to mention that this answered a lot of the questions many videos on other channels just plain didn't.
I'm building a brand, and once that brand is significantly large I'm going to use that as a platform to launch subsidiary brands like a fragrance one, so this has been really helpful with considering different levels of preparation that'll go into being ready for that once it's time for a launch.
Thank you. Much appreciated. Great video ❤
Thanks for this video. Learning a lot about the industry and perfumes.
Thank you for giving so much great info for the beginners. Awesome Job!
Thank you for all of this information! This was all very helpful.
Love that you go through materials and explain what they do, wich is actually usefull! more of this! maby do a "what works togheter and not"
Thank you so much.... You are my aromatic professor.....
This is the most useful video ever. I have really been considering getting into perfumery since I haven't found a scent that has everything I'm looking for. This is exactly what I needed. I was familiar with many of the scents after watching perfumers discuss fragrances, but wasn't sure which would be the best/most common to start with. Thank you so much.
Late to this party but so glad I found the video. I love the way you explain everything. I did get some Cetalox crystals and a little bit of the Ambroxan DL. I added some of each to various perfumes and am in love. I also got some of the perfumers alcohol. Now I am hooked! I plan to experiment with some of the gourmands next. Thank you for the great overview.
Excellent! Thanks a lot for this valuable info and the effort you put in it!
Great Great beginner's guide, so thorough in all aspects, thank you so much!

Such an awesome post ... thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Because of this video I am finally going to start with my childhood ambition to play and create my own scents for people to fall in love with, only this time I won't use garden hose water, flowers, leaves and orange peels marinated for days, followed by door to door sales to my kind hearted neighbours..cringe .)) let the game of blending begin. Thank You xx
Thank you so much very much enjoyed this class and learned a lot ❤️
Such an informative and wonderful video. Thank you for all your efforts.
Amber does have a smell. Fossilized amber has a variety of hardness😮😮, but if heated you can smell it and that is also how you can authenticate amber jewelry. Amber resin, carved handles for utensils
Love you man....♥️♥️Thanks a lot for this video... Its awasome for bigginers.
Very informative - thank you for posting !
My pleasure!
I appreciate you making this video so much. This info is so rare to find and I'm excited now because I have some direction.
You got this! Just keep working at it, it takes time and patience
@@bkscents7050 Thank you for teaching us for free
Thanks a lot BK. It was really helpful.
Hope to see more beginner friendly videos.
I plan to run a candle business, so I definitely need to learn how to create perfumes.
How did you end up making fragrances that you knew were safe for candles? I'm trying to find as much information as possible.
love this. awesome
I just bought a number of these materials and some random ones I wanted to try. So excited to start blending things together. This was a really useful guide, but it was difficult to pare it down without any real reference point. I ended up getting a couple from each category, then subbing out some of the more expensive stuff... Like tobacco absolute is pretty pricey, so I got hay absolute instead because I always thought a Nicaraguan cigar had a musty hay smell to it. I'd like to see what you'd buy for under 300 dollars material cost, like ultra beginner stuff.
I have hay absolute...and to me it doesnt really smell much like tobacco absolute. it has its purpose...but if you want tobacco alternatives, check out TOBACOROL which smells like a cedar chest that held cigars in them.....or TABANONE which has a spicy tobacco twist
So informative, thank you!
A wonderful video !! Thanks !!
Amazing video man. Really appreciate your guidance. My brother in law has an extensive (~200) collection of unisex perfumes and he gave me a tour this week. It blew my mind and got me excited about fragrances in general. Being an engineer I love building stuff to a professional level as a hobby.
Question- when studying a demo formula or reformulation formula…how do you know which ones to tweak and which ones to not?
Awesome video. Thank you so much.
This video is a great resource! I'll likely be getting several of your suggestions.
Sidenote: I know this is a 3-year-old video, and you may know this by now, but "allspice" is not just a blend of all the spices. It's its own spice, just like nutmeg or cinnamon, and it just happens to be named Allspice.
Agreed. But to my nose....it's scent profile goes into so many different directions. Lol
Thank you so much ..i learnt a lot
Great work, interesting information, many thanks
Thanks, made a shopping list based on this.
Amazing advice I love it
Very useful information here for a new perfuming enthusiast. Great job. Like your presentation style. Keep it up bro
Fantastic video,, aroma from heaven
Thank you so much for all of the information you've posted and how much time you've put into making this video. I wanted to start making fragrances for candle making especially. Do you have any tips on this if you know anything about it? I can't find much and I thought about taking some classes on it.
Great Great Video . I learnt a ton I mean a ton. Thank you so much 😊
Fantastic info!!!
great video! thankyou so much
You forgot many and I mean many stickers :), amazing video! I think you got me started and hyped up for the next step in my passion for perfumery
الحمدللهJust a minute ago I decided to start learning this as a hobby so, here I am it was my first seeing your channel and it was really useful. A huge thx to you. I was really desperate to find a hobby I really enjoy as I tried many before and I didn't expect I will end up into perfuming, the funny thing is that by reading a novel talking about perfumes I got really addicted to it without realizing I start imagining myself doing it for the rest of my life and the adrenaline thing just hit me lol. I'm so interested I cant wait to make my first perfume
الله يوفقك
Amazing video, thankyou
Thank you so much wrote them all down.
Now when i go to perfume workshop. I'll be like can have this this and that lol but defo will get some to start at home
Hi there, agreed with you that it's an expensive hobby 😃. Me too spending money buying materials. And it's not enough, increasing day by day. Loved ur honest feedback. Why I have chosen this hobby is, last time I wanted to gift one of my friend perfume and I have noticed that could not get a decent perfume in my locality. Then I have started researching it. Thanks dear💕
Thank you very much 🤗🙏
