Hi Sam, thank you for the really informative videos; they are great. Just a suggestion about the music, it's a bit too loud and distracts from hearing what you're saying. Your information is presented well and is very interesting, I'd rather listen to you than the music :)
Very good and useful video. Those like us who love PERFUMES and trying to make it, are interested in watching more videos like this. We are from India - Kerala
This is the video I have been hoping for! I'm currently reading Luka Turin's 'The Secret of Scent', and reading about molecules etc can be hard going, so I am grateful to have found you here to help add another layer of depth to the learning. I'm not new to fragrance, just new to understanding how they work on a deeper level. Thank you! 🙏
Very nice and informative video, as always, Sam. I am very inspired. I am on the way of learning raw materials I own, also I have done a first trial with Dorinia SA E rose base, Patchouli, Geranyl Acetate and several more raw materials. Seems to be slightly flat, so I can't call it as a perfume obviously, but the smell is smooth overall, I think it can potentially be a sort of fundamental formula for my rose perfume evaluation in the future. One more question Sam, I want to ask about a soundtrack on the end part of the video.
So I know this video was made quite a while ago but I'm binging your content right now, because it is really interesting. =) Now, about olfactory fatigue. Do everybody experience it ? As I mentionned in a comment in an other video I used to work for the strong scented cosmetic UK brand. Scent in there is overwhelming, we all know that. BUT. After a while I noticed I did not smell the shop anymore but every individual fragrances and smells, good or bad, in there. New product ? I smelled it. Sweaty customer ? Yeah... Smoker who walked by the shop ? Smelled that too. I just smelled my clothes to "reset" it if I had to really sniff a specifically strong product with a client, like an alcohol based perfume or something. Only times I smelled the whole shop was coming back from holidays where I guess my nose and brain had a little break. Never had any trouble smelling everything else in my daily life either. Even to this day when I go there as a customer, it doesn't overwhelm me. Is it the opposite of olfactory fatigue ? What do you think is happening then ?
I had similar situation, when I worked in leather goods factory. When I got there, I was smelling that luxurious scent of leather non stop. But it doesn't mean I wasn't smelling also my perfumes for example, or perfumes of my colleagues from a distance. After some time of working here my nose got used to leather scent, with no problems with other smells. I think it's just similar situation, as with taking a medicine - one just feels the effect of it the most of the beginning, and the longer organism is exposed to the substance in the same dosage, the lesser an effect of it. (sorry for possible mistakes, I'm non native)
Hey Sam! Do you know what materials I could use to help boost the performance projection and longevity in my perfumes? I’ve created some good ones. Just struggling on the performance part. Any help from you or anyone would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Sam! What a great video. I've been doing it wrong all these times. I'm gonna follow your advice. I wonder if some scents have tendency to block the nose? Because it's kind of hard for me to smell some citrus.
The more you smell things, the more you will get "olfactory fatigue". The best advice I have is to take a break with some fresh air and smell it again later, prediluted to 10% on a scent strip.
I wish I would of found you last year. I have been smelling things wrong. I really need scent strips and a holder for them. I was doing the nono and just taking the cap off the bottle and smelling it from their. Boy o boy does that give a quick headache after a short time.
Hello, thank you for your great video. I have a question, if I cannot find perfumer alcohol, can I use cosmetics alcohol instead like you know the 99.8 %- 99.5% ethanol?
But is it not like this that after the Ethanol is avaporated that the amount of the aroma is the same what I will smell? Like the 50% or the 20% diluted one?
@@sammacer ahh ok thank you. I mean I didnt try it yet I bought a similar 28 oils set now. Im very interested in this and wait for it cause I have the time now :) I live in germany and we have a lockdown again. In this set is labdanum 45% in DPG , can I add perfumers alkohol to it or should I buy DPG for it ? I wanna make it also to a 20%
@@gaara2960 I'm glad you're giving it a go! Yes that's fine, you can add perfumer's alcohol to dilute it down to 20% :) Just add 1.25g of perfumer's alcohol to 1g of your mixture
@@sammacer thank you 😊 im waiting for my starter package now and Will start carefully to dilute them all :) Is it better to dilute them all to 20% or 10% at the beginning

Yes! The music is too distracting and doesn’t fit.
Sam, your video was like a sensory rollercoaster! Olfactory fatigue, meet auditory overload! 😂
Great helpful advice - I'll definitely do this! You have a nice chilled-out but information-dense style, keep it up :)

I love your videos, Sam! You explaine everything crystal clear, thanks for all your tips!
My pleasure 😊

Another great video bro! That would be awesome to learn evaluation exercises to learn materials
Thanks! And yeah I'll add it to the list

I cover this in my online course, however thinks like ethyl maltol, vanillin and damascones are popular choices

Hey is it possible to upload a version of this without the music? Great content
thank you so much Alex O'Connor

Yeah haha
I'm blessed every day! , WACHEW THINK THEIR ALL MAD ME FOR BRUh 😂
Good day Sam, if i wanted to make some citrus spicy woody scents for spring/summer anything youd recommend?
Maybe Lemon and Orange essential oils, black pepper EO, Iso E Super
@@sammacer thank you for replying, have a wonderful day bro
Hello, thank you for your great video. I have a question, if I cannot find perfumer alcohol, can I use cosmetics alcohol instead like you know the 99.8 %- 99.5% ethanol?
Yes that should be fine!
Cheer~~the action or business of producing or selling perfumes.😊
Thank you so much for Knowledge sharing 🖤
I like to put a drop on my skin and keep smelling the essential oi.
A you take away the background music? I can’t concentrate on what you’re saying..
Thanks.
Gracias por el consejo 😊
And never smell coffee grains!
Could have turned the music wayyy down...other than that good content
Really help thank you 👍
No problem!
But is it not like this that after the Ethanol is avaporated that the amount of the aroma is the same what I will smell? Like the 50% or the 20% diluted one?
No, you will smell the 50% one as 2.5 times as strong as the 20% one.

Hi Sam, can we dilute it with dep instead of ethanol ?
The music is too loud for a background. It’s distracting
Apologies, this video is very old and I can’t change it now
Thx ❤
