How to Make Perfume like MFK Grand Soir

[@JSepe-ko6pj]

I find your system of progressive testing on scent strips incredible useful. One of the best things I've seen on KZbin channels for people learning about perfumery

[@Topten0548]

I can not stop my hand to like your every video....

[@CarFanTasia]

Same. ❤

[@middle-ground]

It's like he knew I was searching the internet looking for this formula yesterday😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂, you're a treasure Ryan I'm learning so much from you. I hope one day I can be as good a perfumer as you are

[@RyanParfums]

Very kind of you. I just put together fragrances I find. 🙂 I’m still learning.

[@PlantswithCoffee]

51 engredients are not a joke, it must be satisfying and enticing for sure…

[@Pervique]

The only content creator that I can watch for the whole 1h+ video. So much information! You`re the best!

[@RyanParfums]

Thank you for hanging with me for the whole hour. I know the pacing can sometimes be a little slow.

[@yadiyhadini8698]

You manage to use separate beaker this time for solid materials! I'm impressed!

[@RyanParfums]

Baby steps 🙂 I’ll get there

[@xRay5454]

Grand Soir is my favorite fragrance, nice to see you crafting it ! I really love how smooth and luxurious it is, it instantly calms me down. I like how oily it is on the skin, and this thing lasts at least two months on paper, so I put some in my car and smell it when I feel stressed.

[@CarFanTasia]

That’s a beautiful way to describe it. I feel that way with virgin island water by creed. But yes grand soir.. so comforting.. elegant..

[@PlantswithCoffee]

@@xRay5454 me too, actually that makes me more interesting to know… its kind of expensive here in Kuwait for 35ml :))

[@tilmonreeves6275]

Great job again Ryan. I did not care for the perfume in the store but I bet this will be great. Thank you

[@egyptianmauworld2433]

Love your video best ones, a great to listen too.

[@dr.claire.perfume]

I love that you write out the formula. Watching this makes me wonder how much this in total costs for this small amount. I'm so curious 😂

[@RyanParfums]

I'm happy you checked out my channel. Thank you! The juice I made here for a 50ml bottle cost $2.90. Crazy, right?!

[@dr.claire.perfume]

@@RyanParfums that is indeed crazy 🤣 and you really wonder how some designer fragrance can be so bad when they could double the ingredients cost and still spend virtually nothing...

[@isobutylquinoline]

What a damn perfect specimen!

[@clarkmasterson]

The fragrance is pretty good too 🤣

[@RyanParfums]

[@PlantswithCoffee]

Ohh ive been waiting for grand soir

[@AlexN-tx1sm]

By the way, you seem to be an amazing person 🙏🏼

[@RyanParfums]

Thank you!

[@keepyourfaceradical]

Love to see you take a stab at making something like Porthole by Loumari

[@nirvanaelements]

Wonderful, running to look to see if I have the materials to make this. Thank you for these videos, love watching and hearing what you have to say about the materials, I’m learning so much. Ps is ethyl vanillin not in the formula in the description?

[@RyanParfums]

Thank you! I accidentally skipped the Ethyl Vanillin. Formula has been updated!

[@freegamepodcast1]

I love the videos

[@MrDigitalWorks]

I bought some formulas from CF but not all of them are spot on ... but maybe this is because of missing stuff as you mentioned! Only thing is that CF is adapting the formulas (without a note) - so I downloaded one formula a second time and it was quit different than the first time! I'm really stunned by your knowledge ... that you replace a bunch of stuff with Petigrain blew my mind. Hats off! One question: What did u use as sunscreen?

[@RyanParfums]

I believe Felipe at CF will occasionally change labs doing the GCMS analysis, upgrading each time, and getting better clarity on what's in each formula. So he's changed (upgraded, I assume) the published formulas as his resources have changed. I used Solgard as a catch all sunscreen. It's a product sold by Fraterworks.

[@TheScenticist]

Hey Ryan, how are you doing? I mixed this one together and honestly was quite intimidated by the huge amount of Ethyl Vanillin at the beginning. Turns out, that due to the loads of Petit Grain, Patchouly, and all the other woody ad citric notes, the Vanillin actually never really dominates until the end of the dry down, where it harmonise quite nice with the other musks. Somewhere in the middle of the dry down I am getting a quite herbal vibe, which I personally don't like too much, but everything else that happens I am quite fond of. All in all a very nice perfume and certainly I feel motivated to play around with this formula a bit more ignorer to midday it to my very own gustito. Thanks Ryan! Don't stop your perfumery night talk show (or early morning show, depending of the point of view).

[@RyanParfums]

Thank you, my friend. I agree that the vanilla doesn’t really shine until the middle of the fragrance. The popcorn, however, really pops in the opening :-) I’m so excited to have found that molecule!

[@JWHendersonPhotography]

Hey Ryan… loving all the videos. I’ve purchased some from creative formulas but I’m just getting started so I don’t have feedback on the end results yet. I love how organized your materials are. Can you share where you source your small bottles and labels?

[@RyanParfums]

Small bottles are 10ml Vivaplex amber glass bottles with lids (not droppers). Labels are "30-up" address labels. Both found on Amazon.

[@JWHendersonPhotography]

@@RyanParfums thank you Ryan.

[@tylerwellick1623]

These videos are great! Do you also do GCMS yourself? If yes I'd have a few fragrance suggestions. You have a great audio book voice by the way :)

[@RyanParfums]

Thank you! I will sometimes put together formulas from others' GCMS reports. But I've yet to send a fragrance off to a lab to be analyzed.

[@Princeh4578]

Hi Ryan where did you get the Ethyl octanoate from?

[@RyanParfums]

www.harrisonjoseph.co.uk/ It's a great shop. However, Ethyl Octanoate is only available by special request. It's not something he keeps in stock. He sold me a very teeny tiny amount. It's a molecule not used very often. However, you can try replacing it with similar molecules: Ethyl Nonanoate or Ethyl Hexanoate.

[@mochacola72]

I have rose CO2 that I've been wanting to use...I don't have enough rose absolute 😢.

[@Princeh4578]

Hi Ryan where can I get the cumin from? I usually buy my meterials from Perfume Apprentice but they don't have the cumin. Thank you for doing these videos, subscribed to your channel from Sydney Australia

[@RyanParfums]

I got my cumin seed oil from Liberty Natural based in Oregon, USA. Fraterworks stocks it too.

[@Princeh4578]

@@RyanParfums thank you. Ordered from fraterworks. I'm looking for a fenugreek note, like the one in Amouage Lineage.

[@deandog111]

Thank you so much for doing these videos! I am new to this and I have a question. I think you said in the video you doubled the amount of solution. But at the end you only added 10grams of alcohol. Would this put the perfume at like 60%?. Thank you for your time?

[@RyanParfums]

The batch that I make in the video is adjusted from the master formula. I use a lot of materials at pre-dilutions of 10% in ethanol. I’ll use those dilutions in tandem with neat materials. At the end, if I need to add more ethanol to get to my targeted concentration, then I’ll add more.

[@christopherpriestley2468]

on top of many of your ingredients you have colors eg red and orange? What are they for? I have some on top of mine remind me that those are chemicals that are powerful/strong. Great video by the way!! "wall of glory" :)

[@RyanParfums]

The colors correspond with fragrance family, e.g. light blue = musk, brown = woody, yellow = citrus. It helps me identify the bottles a little more quickly than reading every label 😄

[@christopherpriestley2468]

@@RyanParfums I know the feeling when you have so many ingredients and bottles it turns into a game of memory lol

[@Человек-о2ф7е]

please tell me how to dilute crystals (ambroxan, musk ketone, xyloI) for studying odors and practical laboratory work. Спасибо!

[@RyanParfums]

Most will dissolve in pure ethanol. My Musk Ketone, however, is dissolved in Benzyl Benzoate. 1g of crystals and 9.1g solvent = 10g at 10% dilution.

[@khaledalghurair8056]

What is the earthy smell for burned Indian agarwood sweet earthy and like rain smell?.there is a combination in my mind always wanted to make it as a perfume. Its the smell of burning agarwood combined with the smell of coffee with cardamom with a kind of sweet we call it halwa. The smell I used to smell it when i was a kid a could not forget it .

[@RyanParfums]

That sounds like a very interesting smell :-)

[@PlantswithCoffee]

Btw, i tried to calculate all the ingredients -and its only 993.2 in total… is it because the Hedione HC is not included? I dont know..

[@RyanParfums]

Fixed. I had DPG and Norlimbanol incorrect.

[@PlantswithCoffee]

@@RyanParfums ohh thank you… thats quick! ❤️❤️❤️

You miss " ethyl vanillin " & "Vanillin " in description formula

Great catch! And thank you for the alert. Description now updated.

[@kurush61]

Hey buddy where did you get your bottles from?

Ohh i see you also just added solgard, now the total were over 4.5g. Wondering if solgard is necessary?

[@RyanParfums]

Good catch. I forgot to remove Karmawood after updating the Norlimbanol number

[@PlantswithCoffee]

@@RyanParfums 🥰🥰🥰 coz i love everything in your videos, looking forward for more detailed formulations. Like if the raw materials is dilluted to how many percent or pure or u already bought them dilluted. Coz most of your videos u dont seem to add ethanol or if there’s alcohol u only added like very little.

[@RyanParfums]

@@PlantswithCoffee ahhh, I see. I dilute all of my materials after I purchase them. Almost all of the mats I buy come neat, i.e. at 100% concentrate.

[@PlantswithCoffee]

@@RyanParfums i actually love your formulations and i plan to make one from Grand Soir and Bacarrat Rouge 540, the only confusion for me is your dillution percentage to those raw materials that the dillution is not mention. For example 5g of Lavandin as compare to 0.4g Damascone Beta 10%, from this two i can tell that the concetration of Damascone is around 0.04 without dillution, however in Lavandin if you already dilluted it, am not sure how much is the concentration of the fragrance concentration. Btw, i really appreciates your efforts responding in my questions, and hopefully i can get a clear idea on your formulations

[@PlantswithCoffee]

Btw i made a rough estimate of dillution of 10% of all RM which are not mentioned for their dillution (i dont include the dry materials, its already over 100% so am sure that some of it is around 1% dillution

[@profound369]

Bro everything is mostly made of clean musk,vanilla, iso e super, ambroxan a and hedione...i think i have enough fragrances 🤣

[@fastrunlogistics3560]

What are ambrocenide crystals used for?

[@RyanParfums]

It's the raw material, ambrocenide; it comes in solid form - small crystals like salt. Ambrocenide is used in for its strong woody/amber smell. It has similarities to cedrol and cedryl acetate, but with an amber and animalic quality. It's good stuff! Only, very expensive.

Thank u 4 the reply, i bought 8 gramms but could not figure out how to use it

@ryanparfums I have purchased a dozen Creative Formulas from Filipe. With the CF products, you are not only buying his high quality GC/MS results. He is an excellent perfumer and you are also buying his nose, labour and judgement; he works on his formulae post-GC/MS to make sure the final products are unsurpassed. I believe you would not violate CF rules by compounding one you had bought in an episode so long as you didn't reveal the original formula amounts for each ingredient.

[@RyanParfums]

I’ve thought of doing this.
