Thank you so much for giving away this knowledge. What Penn and Teller are to the world of magic, you are to the world of perfume.

[@hebabarhamhb]

I thank you from the bottom of the heart for such a great knowledge. ❤🌹

[@sotiris6116]

There should be a book, containing these combinations already been tested

[@JonathanBuncic]

But how do you acquire the correct information regarding the impact?

[@Qwerty-tf3yy]

Just compare on a smelling strip with Linalool - Also Check the video 2-01 Relative Odour Impact

Thank you for the video

Hi I'm from PAKISTAN can you tell me how to measure DiProplyneGlycol Quantity in Perfume Compound!

[@AshariyyAqidaRifaiyy]

So once you find your accord that smells good to your senses would that be a default for future compositions? Or would one have to do this every time .... Other question is how are you diluting your oils when you speak of "parts" ... I'm assuming that you are diluting

[@michaeldenize3358]

Hi, I'm just a little confused as to when to use an inverse accord. Could you possibly give an example? Thank you so much for all the work you do.

[@Rabi3aljassem]

Me too man i did nor understand a lot i think that something went wrong there

[@sammyjudeh1117]

When he says impact, is he referring to the blending factor?

[@algebraist1997]

That the ideal accord is where the 'impacts' are more or less equalised is misleading. In most fine fragrances you will find that it is not 1:1 in intensity, comparing materials in an accord according to their parts in a formula and odor value. It is why an accord is better described as a harmony rather than balance, as you're not aiming for equality. Obvious examples, without having to look at formulas, would be Vent Vert and Ma Griffe.

[@Picklemedia]

Yeah

[@timelsaer6729]

If I have my top-, heart- and basenotes (each out of more components), can I calculate a total impact out of it?

[@Qwerty-tf3yy]

Yes but its a lot of calculations so software is handy for it. (eg. The Perfumer's Workbook or Excel even)

[@hypergalaxy1608]

i don't understand the fraction numbers ....how did u come up with those numbers

[@Magicmotor101]

How 100 experiments for just 3 material?

[@casimsalabim]

What book is he refering to?

[@Qwerty-tf3yy]

The Perfumer's Workbook PerfumersWorld Software Page

[@veedamachine1]

Is part means like per drop.

[@Qwerty-tf3yy]

Essentially Yes. "Part" is really just equal units of anything. So 'part' could be grams , ounces, pounds, liters or drops even.

[@OustBearings]

Try looking at your video. It's a reall y good video but the sound is so low you can't hardly hear it..

[@Qwerty-tf3yy]

Sorry it was a live video, no retakes so we had technical issues sometimes and we didn't want to interfere with students privacy if we had used microphones on each table.
