How to make the smell of chocolate (Perfumery tutorial)

[@macrocosmicorbit3982]

Hands down one of my fave fragrance channels along with scentland and Ramsey and Kristo. So nice to see such passion instead of a bloke sitting in his basement reading notes off Fragrantica.😂

[@blk_lies]

next up: Honda Accord

lmaooo

stooooppp 😆😆

[@ScribblebytesWorldwide]

Seriously bruh

[@JayMannStuff]

It might be good to emphasize that for the addition of patchouli for a chocolate note/accord, it's best to use a dark patchouli as opposed to clearwood. :)

[@sammacer]

I used light patchouli so that may have affected the result. I don't think clearwood really counts as patchouli though ;)

[@haikuoflife]

Ahh yes, the dark aged patchouli is lovely.

[@thelittlehouseof.g]

To begin with, your work, content & journey are amazing. Thank you! So I get up and combine Vanillin with a palo santo tincture of mine (for the guaiacol…honestly its the same). I used (synth) civet and orris root concrete 10%, I also had a tincture of very dark roast coffee beans. At this point it was nice but still a little sweet. I added more coffee tincture and it got nice and dark but a bit too dry and woody (palo santo and coffee can be bitter/astringent) so I added methyl laitone to round it all off. I see how the civet makes this ganache, a dark ganache due to the bitter coffee. The orris just holds everything together in a buttery base and it dries down to a caramelly vanilla milkiness. I didn’t measure anything, I rarely every do, it’s just a feeling and trial and error. But i should have gone easier on the vanillin and methyl laitone. I happened to spray it on the same arm i had tested my jasmine fig enfleurage. The combination is insane, something like a chocolate honeysuckle. Happy mistakes.

Isobutavan for the 'milk' chocolate. Chocovan is great base too, leans more towards a chocolate syrup than cocoa.

[@kikitauer]

I am a chocolate fiend so this one made me happy 😊 I love making chocolate pralines, shiny and colorful. I was thinking about adopting perfumery as my second hobby but I don't have much money lately and so I had to give that up for a while. But one day I will get back to it and this accord will probably be among the first I will try 😉

[@GohAhweh]

Retired chef here, I'm in a similar bag.. I've had the passion my whole life..but it is quite an investment to just even begin in this venture..😊

[@joshazriel8007]

Class is in session! Thank you Sam 👏👏

[@canascarlos9790]

i love the traces you added, you can get a chocolate vibe by just adding Cocoa Hexenal, vanillin and lactone, but in order to be complex those nuances are required :) thanks

[@carolinec8166]

Thank you, Sam. I have been enjoying your videos and have learnt a lot. Pure vanilla absolute has a very milk chocolatey scent to me, without the need to add anything else, even diluted to 10%.

[@sammacer]

Lovely, I’ll need to find some :)

[@TheSimuzz]

Hi Sam Thanks for this great video. I will work on a chocolate accord soon. I was thinking of working with tonka bean or coumarin as well. Could add complexity

[@justaddlight]

Thanks for this Sam! 🍫 I often find gourmands to be so much nicer and less cloying when iris is added. I'm slowly starting to get into powdery fragrances too.

[@PhemaleWear2]

Love this … I am very much interested in learning more with your tutorials

[@HungTran-ev6ic]

Please make more videos about accords, we need more of this stuff 🙏

[@krytxps]

Really love this channel. Im no parfumer myself, i dont even own that many fragrances, but I find this whole thing very interesting. One of my all time favorite smells is the one you can find in an ice hockey hall/arenas. And no, Im not talking about sweat hah, its like an icy fresh smell. I tried to find information on it, but I couldnt find anything worthwhile. I dont know if youre familiar with what im talking about, or how would one even go about recreating the scent, or how much does it have to do with the cold temperature inside the halls, but I'd love to find out if there are any fragrances that have at least some trace of that scent. I've only found that Vortex by Darling Clandestine supposedly does have a scent that can be described as cold air, and a few others that have these cold, even snow like properties to them. Maybe thats something to keep in the bag, i'd really enjoy a video on a fresh, cold, trace of gasoline type smell, and how to achieve that, I find it epsecially interesting since it doesnt really remind of mint or menthol, which is the first thing i would normally associate with a crisp, cool scent

[@yngfu_]

i am interested in this

[@sharoncompton6168]

Thanks, I'm learning soosoo much from you and understand it.😊

[@melle.moon17]

Where do you buy your fragrances from? Im a very baby beginner with fragrance making, looking at where and how to start!

[@kurogana01]

I achieved a good smelling dry chocolateish accord with 100% alkaline cocoa powder and 100% dark bitter cocoa powder tincture(half each). 1 month tincturing than filter anda season the cocoa alcohol with vanilin, less vanilin = dark 80% chocolate, more vanilin, more 50% choc. With just small e.vanilin, I can get close to milky chocolate... For us, small beginners, these is easy to find, easy to do, cheap... not perfect chocolate, but convincing...

[@MrDigitalWorks]

I use I.P.A. for my honey accord. For me it leans way more in the floral honey direction then chocolate.

[@danthe.g]

hi sam! can i request a video from u on how to make room sprays? ive made a custom made scent for my office however i dont know what diffuser is good and i need help on how to make it. hope to hear from u ! ure a big inspiration to me

[@pietronicolafurlan6248]

Thx for your video, always inspiring! I'm actually struggling to find a good combination for a Rum Accord. That would be amazingly helpful.

[@sammacer]

Have you tried rum ether?

[@pietronicolafurlan6248]

@@sammacer yes, of course, but it is an extremely volatile top note. I was looking to construct some sort of accord that could transfer at least until the heart of the fragrance. BTW Rum ether may help to adjust the opening for sure.

[@abdulahad-mt2un]

Thank you. Love from Mumbai India❤

[@salescreationfragrance8631]

Can you suggest some musk and chocolate combination?

[@alicemain7527]

Perhaps Sand could be a very interesting accord as well!

[@benefridogalangjr7711]

Something abt chocolate is my weakness cant get enough, i tried the patchouli version that shows depth of cocoa which i like. Thx❤

[@sammacer]

Cool that you like it

[@JustinTinchaa]

Will your perfumery app ever come to android? I'm about to buy an ipad just to use it lol

[@sammacer]

I hope to have some kind of perfumery solution for android in the future, however it will not be the same as Formulair and unlikely out in true next year so I would get an iPad if you want it now (iPad is also the best Formulair user experience imo) :)

[@JustinTinchaa]

@sammacer Thank you, keep up the good work!

[@bigguy2128]

Cocoa absolute is really dark chocolatey

[@londoncooper1771]

hi there, do you have a video on making roll on perfume oils?

[@justaddlight]

Interesting about the addition of civet! But hey, I've blamed fart gas on my perfume before! 🤣 What are those stinky ouds like.

[@PERFUME_CHEMISTRY]

Great Accord to Try. Thank You. 👌

[@Titemaud]

So I tried with what I had on hand and I have nothing that smells like chocolate or cocoa. BUT I managed to make something that sorta makes me think of Raffaellos. Vanillin, Orris butter, Aldehyde C18 and a trace of Civet.

[@sammacer]

Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@arshoaib786]

Hii bro i have one doubt can you please help me out While applying branded perfume we feel cool menthol type feel on our skin So can you please tell what is exactly that chemical or any kind of solvent plz tell me

[@Scythesabre]

Would love to see Mango as a featured accord.

[@mazeerahamed1956]

Please tell me the name of the book that you showed in the video

[@Manormouse-04]

I think the Pachouli would be more along the lines of that baker's chocolate aroma. Too much, and it breaks that fourth wall, so to speak.

[@fee2638]

Is it important to have chemistary background for perfumery?

[@haikuoflife]

Lactates and pyrazines are good additions. =)

[@sammacer]

Great suggestion!

[@dragonking2719]

Is there a good way to EXTRACT the smell of sweet chocolate I have this one call crazy life ocean pheromon perfume/cologne that I think smells like a chocolate vanilla but I can’t tell

[@sammacer]

Not as far as I’m aware but I’m sure it’s possible

[@alexletemoin]

If somebody have an idea how to reproduce a kind dark chocalate hot pepper like the old Centre american native do ?

[@marcocalabresi2901]

Hi! What's the name of the app wich You use in these videos to note and make parfumes?.. Do you know if exist something similar for Android? ❤

[@sammacer]

It’s my app Formulair (www.formulair.app), I’m working on solutions for other devices for the future

I need too figure out a praline accord and magnolia

[@saffronnicola]

Hello, I wonder if you can advise if I should buy the 100 aroma chemicals kit by Pell Wall, it's just over £400. I am completely new to making perfume, although I already have many essential oils because I use some for face cream I make for family and friends and diffusers. I realise I need these chemical aromas also. Do you think it covers the main ingredients needed? I would appreciate if you can give me your advice. I really enjoy your videos although I didn't realise there is so much to learn and will take a time to understand fully. Kind regards, Nicola

[@ShahanshahPerfumeryWorks]

Hello, I am watching your videos since many of month May you please making a video for What is the uses of many of things like, resinoids, aldehydes, aroma natural oil, DM water, alcohols And many of things Please make a video for this Please
