Nice video. I wanted to ask you if it was possible for me to make a Rum extract for perfumery at home? And if so what would I need to do?

[@FragranceView]

You can buy a Cognac essential oil and Rum notes, to make it yourself at home.. I don't think will work well

[@laronbridewell9468]

@FragranceView ok, I don't know what all goes into creating an extract and was wondering what the process was. I was curious also regarding making a coffee extract. Also I wanted to check into it because I have purchased some raw materials that I didn't feel accurately represented the scent profiles of Cognac and Rum. Are there any particular raw materials you can refer to me that perform well and smell like Cognac, Whiskey, and/or Rum?

[@PatrickOwera]

help recommend same books for me to read please,i am really interested in learning and making it my full time job.

[@YabbaDadADo]

Can anyone recommend where to get good quality dropper bottles so I can avoid the single plastic usage?

[@ajanaya8055]

Since it’s 100% natural. Do you need to give it more time to maturate?

[@FragranceView]

With a simple blend like this, not many changes will happen.. if you want to let it rest, 2 weeks is more than enough.

[@veravandijk2425]

Thanks, this is very informative!! I already have some experience with making alcohol or oil based scents at home, but still got a lot to learn. I'm really interested in making home made natural perfume in a professional way and start a small business to sell it once I know exactly what I'm doing. But I find it hard to know where to start. I want to know what ingredients I should use to make the best longlasting natural perfume and that it's actually good quality, completely safe and doesn't seem too crafty. Do you have any tips for this or perhaps know where I can find actual good information on how to start something like this?

[@tkattashis1]

Thanks for the video! I’ve found that 33 drops never amounts to 2ml… I’ve been blending with the same materials and others in different formulas, and I mostly get up to 1 ml or a bit more. I’m really baffled 🤔

[@abdaleali609]

Can you make or copy the old Jean paul gualtier le male in 1995, or how can you beat such aroma, i wish you could smell the vintage le male and do your research by making your own parfumes if i get chance to go uk i will call you a meeting to discuss with you how we can go joint venture business on perfume company and how we can beat Jean paul gualtier.

can i wear this perfume everyday without having problems with intoxication for excess essencial oil?

[@Hayden_hardmoney]

When creating cologne what is a good method of percentages for top, mid, and base note. I see a lot of different methods. Which do you use a lot? Also when adding Hedione to fragrance I’ve see it says you can put up to 65% of formula. So if you are doing 20% fragrance and 80% alcohol for instance, does this mean you can add Hedione at 65% of the 20% fragrance or of the combination of alcohol and fragrance?

[@FragranceView]

I don't limit myself to any method, I go on intuition and feeling.. and it changes every time depending on what you want to create, and what the notes are.. I never found putting myself in a box of %'s helped me personally. - in that instance it means 65% of the 20% - if it was % of the final product ( it would be much lower number )

[@kuhliloach8842]

i had great results with this idea-- thanks so much. Could you perhaps do another Natural Perfume video about a freshie/blue/summer type thing?

[@liandrovsk]

heyhey! Thinking about starting. Your channel gives a really good base. 🙏 how does it work to get some kind of "honey" smell?

[@FragranceView]

you can use synthetic called Honey Miel Essence by IFF, you can find on perfumers apprentice.. or use real bees wax absolute

[@nafizhaq4554]

How do you normalise the mixture of absolute and essential oil? cause I found some absolutes are overpowering than essential oil, wouldn't it be good to mix them with alcohol as a start?

[@FragranceView]

that's just balance.. if one material is stronger, you can either pre-dilute it before using it.. or just add less of it, it's just using your nose to make a harmony and balance

[@rudiharmse8089]

Thank you so much! Please advise - I want to make oil perfumes - are the principles still the same, and you just add a carrier oil to it instead of alcohol?

A great introductory video for beginners, thank you very much for taking the time to make it! Regarding the pipette-waste question: wouldn't a solution be to reserve each pipette for a single oil? Or is there some kind of risk of oil residues degrading in the pipette?

[@nelfie253]

@@FragranceView Good to know - thank you for your feedback!

[@adampenman1724]

Amazing video! You clearly have a lot of knowledge! Do you not need to dilute pure essential oils before applying to the skin? Maybe I missed something

[@FragranceView]

when the perfume is blended in alcohol and you spray it on, it is diluted - if you're using a roll on with an oil, it's diluted in the carrier oil

[@jasonburke4724]

What books would you suggest for how to and fragrance recipes.

[@FragranceView]

Not very many books give you any formulas to be honest.. Mandy Aftel is about the only one I know of, that actually give you a formula, but they're quite simple. A good starting point for a beginner

[@jasonburke4724]

Thank you. Is there a specific one that you suggest? Formula! That's the word i was looking for. Haha

[@FragranceView]

Fragrant the Secret life of Scent gives you a handful of formulas to follow

[@cocoamourrr]

What essential oils can be alternative to amber ?

[@FragranceView]

amber is not an essential oil, but an accord, a combination of oils together.. typically a basic amber accord is Labdanum combined with Vanillin, which is a powder. Though you can make it more complex with adding other resins like benzoin, myrrh etc.

[@HossamWafaa-i8e]

this one is natural, no synthetics

Lovely to see you making this type of content again. I started playing around with ingredients a few months ago, it's really fun and interesting. In my experiments, myrrh is a very tricky note, sometimes only a small amount can take over a composition very easily, although on it's own it's not particularly strong by any means

[@texasfan8892]

Question about the dropper bottles: are you experiencing any issues with evaporation of certain materials?

[@FragranceView]

Only with things that are diluted in ethanol.. not otherwise. I don't use them for tinctures anymore

[@michaelcobb1559]

The trick to prevent evaporation, is to empty the dropper completely before putting it back in, that way air is trapped and the liquid can't rise up and out.

[@patriciat5323]

[@-.Mohamed-_-salah.-21]

How could I Dil the essential oil and mix it with ethanol before making the formula and how to calculate the percentage of the perfume ?

[@FragranceView]

To dilute a material accurately you need a scale, and then work out the maths based on the amount of weight you want to dilute. - To work out the concentration of the formula accurately also requires measurements with the scale, combing the total weight in oil, and then working out the weight of alcohol. It's just maths.

[@minashypnosis]

Hey Peter, Thank you for making these videos. I’ve recently finished my fifth perfume experiment and I feel like they just keep getting better, although all of them have been pretty and wearable so far. In your experience, does the order in which you add the drops in a perfume composition affect the final scent a lot? I’ve heard that it’s wise to start with base notes first, and I recently read that for reproducing the same result you should write down the order in which you added the notes. Would love to hear your thoughts on this. Take care, Mina

[@FragranceView]

Hey Mina, for my own personal way, I do tend to blend base notes first, and work up.. mainly for the reason that I want to know how it smells at each stage as it builds up, to get the balance. I don't personally believe that the actual scent will change depending if you added the base first, or the top first.. if it's the same formula, and you make it with the same amounts, you can add it in any which way and the end product will be the same, in my opinion.. Unless there's something in the formula that can react with something in particular.

[@JoshuaJamesZimmerman]

Great video. I'm more of an amateur than a beginner, but still learned something. #beginnersmind I wish I could wean off the plastic pipettes. I worry about evaporation with the droppers. Most of mine are dilutions. I start small then scale up for creations.

[@FragranceView]

Don't use them if you're diluting in alcohol, the alcohol makes them super volatile and they just want to escape..

[@andrewhilton5953]

Quick question please! If the formula is 36 drops to 8ml of alcohol (yielding 10ml of perfume) what do you do when you dont want to be capped at 36 drops? In other words, say you want to make a more complex fragrance with over 10 different notes? Being capped at 36 drops.. what if an extra few drops of certain materials yields a smell you want etc ?.. because being capped using this method means you have a maximum of 36 drops to play with, doesent this cap and limit the creative process

[@FragranceView]

it's a basic guide line.. feel free to add more drops, just bare in mind, the more drops you go over.. the more concentrated the perfume.. simply just add a little more alcohol, problem solved.

[@andrewhilton5953]

@@FragranceView thanks 🙂

[@joydavey6971]

so when you want to make it into a perfume, does it need to be diluted into a carrier? or can you apply on its own?

[@FragranceView]

it should be diluted, pure EO on the skin can causes rashes in some cases

[@ryanm4222]

Do you worry about the oils escaping out of the dropper bottles? I've seen some people say to avoid dropper bottles with the dropper built in as it doesn't form a perfect seal.

[@FragranceView]

Only if they're tinctures, the alcohol is very volatile and wants to escape.. typically pure EO doesn't do that.

[@FragranceView]

the term fragrance oil is sometimes used to sale very cheaply made synthetic accords, some fragrance oils can be things like "Tutti Fruity" or "Orchid" (which there is no natural variety of oil) and they vaguely attempt to mimic something.. these are really meant for room diffusers, not perfume. - Sometimes fragrance oil can mean a genuine aroma chemical or synthetic, basically don't use 'fragrance oils' use either naturals or synthetics, synthetics are designed by brands like IFF, Firmenich, Guivadan etc to be used in perfume making.

How do you dilute an oil to 1% in alcohol?. Do you have a video?

[@FragranceView]

This video format follows the same structure laid out by Mandy Aftel in her books, in this instance I paid no attention to top / mid / base, I just went by my own experience in blending this particular style of perfume. - to dilute a material like birch tar to 1% requires buying a scale and doing the maths in weight

[@deedee_83]

Thanks for all of your great videos! Just wondering if you have found bottles with eye droppers that hold the fragrance / don’t evaporate or if you have any tips on this? I really like to idea of having diluted materials in a bottle with dropper, but am finding they do evaporate and I can smell scent through rubber dropper top. Would the alcohol contribute to this more? And would storing only the raw material (without alcohol) help ?

[@FragranceView]

the dropper bottles don't work if you put anything with alcohol content in, so anything diluted.. will just evaporate out, pure oils are fine..
