Hi Peter, great videos on making parfum! I am a musician and interested in all forms of art, like painting, bonsai, songwriting, poetry, record production and so on. I discovered that knowing as much as possible about all these artforms adds to each other, the basic principles behind them beiing the same. I would like to see more about these topics: how to make basic chords, using aldehyds, raw materials and how to work out your own creations. Keep up the good work! greets, Carsten

You mentioned in a recent video you were not getting very excited about all the new perfumes released. Well I think we are all overwhelmed by the amount of releases and the search for the perfect fragrance. It’s getting to be too much. You channel is very interesting and varied. One question, where did you get the Mysore Sandalwood? I’d love to get my hands on a bottle. If you could help me with that I’d really appreciate it. Cheers!! duane

You can get it from Hermitage Oils in Italy.. or if you want a really aged vintage, you can find one from the 80's from the Indian Government that Ensar has on his Ensar Oud website. I believe even Perfumers Apprentice stocks a little in the US too..

You have to try fir balsam absolute, it's plain gorgeous! I have two batches from Robertet (bought via PSH), one is sweeter, one has a bit more coniferous character, but both are wonderful. A perfume on their own, unfortunetaly too sticky to just wear the diluted absolute. :D Real cedars (e.g. Himalayan, Atlas) to me have a chemical kind of odor in general. I find it hard to make them work in a formula if more than just small amounts are used. Non the less I have a perfume with a profound old worl cedar in it (among others), that works and is really nice, Tumulte pour Homme.

More great content. I use Sandalore in combination with Ebanol when i'm simply creating something, using my Mysore oil every time would just be farrrr to expensive! I just made an order with Hermatige and forgot to include Oakwood, i've been meaning to get my hands on some.
@FragranceView6 жыл бұрын
Only trouble with the Oakwood is it doesn't last well, and the odour profile is on the weaker side.. it's quite expensive too. I am not a fan of Sandalore, you can smell it a mile off in perfumes
@graysonmichael96966 жыл бұрын
I would imagine the "Oakwood" note I see in a lot of perfumes is probably an accord rather than the actual thing? And I can't argue with that, I only use it for initial creation most of the time

I don't often see Oakwood on note breakdowns, it's possible they use a small amount, and try to enhance it with a bigger accord around it

I don't know, Peter, all the Palo Santo essential oils I've smelled have that strange artificial paint or glue note, haha! You can find similarities with the actual wood, but still quite different. Great video! I love when you smell different materials and describe them. I'm curious (and this is not a wood), have you smelled cypriol' AKA nagarmotha? It's a favorite of mine and a bit unusual in perfumery.

I haven't no!! how's it smell ?
@helenamaal6 жыл бұрын
Dark, smoky, woody, earthy. Hints of leather and maybe tobacco absolute, with a very subtle underlaying sweetness. Still different from those... Very sensual and unique in my opinion! I use it in a few formulas and it takes the whole thing to another level. It has been used as an aphrodisiac in India for a long time. Amazing with sandalwood, nutmeg, lime, or with florals like ylang ylang and jasmine. You need it in your collection :-)

Hey Pete just curious about house of matriarch. I own 2 full bottles, sex magic and the longing and many samples of others and every time I wear them people have told me I smell like I have just smoked a joint....have you ever had a comment like this?Mostly when I wear Bitter sweet symphony or the longing
@FragranceView6 жыл бұрын
No not personally... but Sex Magic does contain Cannabis Essential Oil, and it's pretty green smelling fragrance in general... so I can see that sure, the Cannabis oil is a clear top note, she also uses it in Black No.1 and in Devotion too, I can smell it in all three as top notes, . - The Longing, I don't see it at all, it's Jasmine / honey / vanilla / plum stuff going on, there's nothing green about it to me personally, and no one has ever commented on it.. BSS is pretty chocolatey, like bitter praline, I dunno, weird your friends can smell cannabis in those.. Doesn't smell like a joint at all to me
