Honestly before I found your parfum making videos I have never thought that there are self taught people who create their own houses. In my country there are only 2 parfumer I know about (they have learned this job in France). I don't want to go in this hobby seriously but I hope once I will have a chance to create parfume.

And like he mentioned, most of it is synthetic aroma chemicals and not essential oils of various plant parts that's usually mentioned in the notes section. I wanted to make natural perfumes using essential oils but coming to know that there are thousands of synthetics has put a dampener of the spirits. Apparently, there are huge labs that churn out thousands of aroma chemicals specifically for these designer houses which may not be known to even the enthusiast perfumers, in a way making them trade secrets.

[@erewrw1906]

@@danlightened its the same with many other things, like food.. the best old strains, like old tomato or any other vegetables nobody, really noone eats. theyre all to less profitable. But they are insane, in therms of quality. One time i got a real old BeanStrain to eat.. it blew my mind, lol, it was that much better. I wonder how such a natural perfume would effect my feelings, but i can guess it would be fantastic. Probably in the future people will become rich enough, so thes delicious art can become more advanced. One day

@@erewrw1906 True. Food in the villages is way better. You should try a good quality essential oils from good sources. Try a base note like vetiver, patchouli or oud. The mysterious richness and complexity will blow your mind.

[@Aryachettri2023]

Thanks for your info…last year suddenly saw a video on KZbin on how to create perfume at home, I wanted to create perfume myself with my favourite scents. I purchased the basic materials which I needed to create a perfume and my favourite essential oils and fixatives, definitely which is not cheap at all. I researched deeply first because I felt quite interesting and I didn't want to waste my investment. The main goal of making perfume was long-lasting because I have used lots of expensive perfumes but it lasted hardly. When I made it first, it smelled good and was different from regular perfume. I gave it to my friends and relatives, everybody loved it especially my daughter is crazy about perfume because she lives in Dubai and you all know Dubai is famous for one thing, it's perfume. Even my daughter asked me to make another because it lasts more than the expensive one. So, Guys if you are creative, and enjoy creating things of your own then definitely go for it, you will love it.

[@paint.it.6lack]

I've always dreamed of doing this, and at 35 yrs old I'm not sure what's been stopping me. I have so many scents in my head. Like some people can envision the visual and auditory arts, I 'envision' fragrances. The biggest downside to this is that I'm disappointed more so than not with fragrances. After things get back to normal in the US, I'm giving this a real shot. Thanks, Peter. 💙

[@HogTime]

I just absolutely love the way you describe the smells! When watching a video it's obviously impossible to smell what you're working on but the way you describe them with words like "zingy" and "crisp" really helps me envision how each oil smells and gets me excited to try and make my own perfumes!

UNDER the name " Mousse de Chene" an extract of various lichens growing on oak and other trees has been placed upon the market, and is of the greatest value in perfumery. The principal plants yielding this extract are Evernia furfuracea, Evernia prunastri and Ramalina calicaris and numerous varieties of the latter. Various types of U$nea, Alectoria, and Parmelia also yield a similar extract in less quantity and of poorer odour. If the plants are extracted by means of a volatile solvent, and the extract is steam distilled, a colourless essential oil is obtained, which has an intense odour and, according to Gattefosse,1 consists almost entirely of a phenol which he has termed lichenol. On standing the lichenol crystallises out, and when pure melts at 72° to 73°. Gattefosse originally considered this phenol to be identical with carvacrol, but now (in a private communication to the author) considers that io is of lower molecular weight, and closely related to cetrarine, a phenol-ketone occurring in the oil from Cetraria islandica.

[@erewrw1906]

I just came here cause i suddenly had an Idea. It was once in early Spring, i was outside and felt so happy, like you do in spring. Years later i was talking with someone about something else , about visiting a small primeval forrest. While talking about this experience, i told him it wasnt thaat interesting, but tried to describe it still accurate, if its cool to walk in a primeval forrest. The best description i found was actually the smell.. It smelled a bit more calming, and balanced than a normal Forest. So, it dawned on me that smell can give you a very interesting emotion. I was thinking back on the walk in the spring, and it came to my mind that this one time when i walked in spring, it was still very early , cold, the flowers werent showing colors, so: i was wondering WHY i did already get that Springemotion so so strong. And i guess its the smell. I must have smelled the young sprouts , i must have instinctively smelled that "good times" are ahead, that must be inherited very strongly from our Ancestors. Anyway, so i think smell does give you very deep and accurate emotions

[@erewrw1906]

Lately i tried to capture this spring-smell trough making my own incense. I mixed : -chesnutwood -applewood -a flower tea-mix (springflowers) -and cinnamon Original idea would have used Cannabis, instead of Cinnamon, but i thought lets stay sober lol. So it rather became a summer smell. Made my own incense with this mixture and burnt it Had problems cause dried flowers can give a nasty burnt smell. (i think especially with high heat) But otherwise it was pretty spot on, i wanted it to be very faint, and i actually think i got this spring summer emotion. It nearly enhanced me, was good . Yep, thats my little excursion, my goal was to just give me a positive emotion, to have no downsides, i think many smells can make you feel dark easily, and it was quiet bright.. jeey.

[@rickterrance4981]

Have you ever tried creating your own tinctures? I feel like an alcohol tincture would capture a more complex scent especially when it comes to some of the fancier perfumery components that typically rely on synthetic chemicals. For example using an alcohol ambergris tincture instead of just using ambroxan. Or creating a real oud wood tincture instead of just one singular aromatic synthetic compound thar is responsible for the oud woods distinct scent. You may even be able to use less components to create your perfume.

[@zimnathaufeeg7394]

I once cooked up some random stuff on the stove trying to make a beard oil. If I remember correctly it was Olive oil, vanilla extract and a ground up sandal wood insence stick. I feel like I'm missing somthing. It was...textured, but It smelled like churros or mini doughnuts

[@danlightened]

Textured, probably from the ground up insence stick. Use 98% of olive oil (or other carrier oils) and only 2% of pure steam distilled essential oils (sandalwood essential oil etc) and definitely not ground up stuff. That's not safe at all.

I was walking in London England one time some where near SOHO. And I smelled the most beautiful scent I have ever smelt. It was two older Indian ladies probably in their 50s. I ran up to them and asked them wjat their perfume was, they told me it was a family secret over 200 years old and only they had it. I was damn I could make billions off it. Even thou they were thirty years older then me I totally had to go talk to them because they smelled so amazing.

I noticed mine if i dont maserate, the fixative does not work. But if igive it 3 to 6 week, longevity improves. By the way love your video. I started perfumery just a hobby 6 months ago. Loving it

[@bloodindark]

i am just starting with this hobby but first for beard oils , after i make my first beard oil i wil lstart making a perfume. what i wanted to point out is that when he started talking about accords he kind of made me cry , i do not know how to explain it , but he made me very happy . its the first time i hear abbout accords and i know some of the beard oils and perfumes that i bought up until nw ,may have these accords because you cannot distinctly smell each essential oils in them. he made me want to get into this a lot more. thanks man!

I just happened on your show on how to make perfumes and I found it very interesting I'm little bit too old now to start that as a hobby but if I were 30 years younger I probably would be very interested in it and the way you explained it was very very interesting and I did learn something about sent that I didn't know so thank you

[@tomprice3258]

I am just starting out in the fragrance design hobby and love 💕 it. Thanks 🙏 for the video.

[@nathanjones2310]

Thank-you for making this vid,,, watched it from start to finish & screen-shotted most of the perfume formula names you shared. Very helpful, along with the info relating to books to get started. It would be a dream to create my own fragrant scents. Least I could do is give your video a thumbs-up. All the best!

[@warriorsgreatness6182]

Extraordinary, professional educational teaching video. Thank you for taking your time to share your wisdom, expertise, knowledge and techniques. Very informative and helpful. Mucho Gracias

[@BlainsTube]

I love to experiment, trying my hand at creating fragrances or just testing how well materials smell together. My tools are the raw materials, 8ml vials, a .001 scale and .5ml plastic pipettes. I find the .5ml pipettes perfect for dealing with such small amounts. I've used 95% grain alcohol, but much prefer perfumer's alcohol. I feel the perfumer's version leaves a cleaner, more neutral smell, while the 95% left a slightly grainy after-smell. Nice refresh video Peter!

[@FragranceView]

Thank you

[@deanbond3204]

So glad I came across your video , thanks for your time and effort. Good luck with everything you do in the future. 👍🏽

[@007manatee]

This video is completely brilliant. I particularly enjoyed the hints of the more technical background information as it provided a context for his thought-project.

[@MissConnieFung]

Thank you so much for making this video. I found it super helpful. I will try it out very soon.
