I've played around with this just for fun quite a bit. You have to be VERY VERY specific in what you ask. "Act as my master perfumer" Using this list of these perfumery ingredients (copy and paste all your materials), create me a perfume which will smell like (give brief) ..... give formula in grams and explain how and why you used each ingredient.. "suggest any other materials which is not on the list which could evolve this perfume" Or for example ask it to create a damp moss stone accord using the ingredients list above ect The more specific you are in your prompts with giving it info to use such as list of ingredients and what exactly to make you'll get actually okay results. Not amazing perfumes by any means, but not bad for AI or just for bouncing ideas off if you ever get stuck. :)) Great video though Sam as always! :)

Ive done this also, I even copy and paste a list of aroma chemicals I have, not just the ones I want to use but all of them. It tells me it recognizes them. I tell Chatgpt to then provide real world dilutions for each aroma chemical. I will give you a pretty simple formula. But you can even ask it, "based on what we have here, what would you suggest adding to it as the Ai?" It will give you a revised formula, and you can keep revising and revising and adding a building. I even tell it to make a sample test of like 3 ounces for example. It will list out each aroma chemical in drops, or weight, and percentage even. Bujt your right, you need to have alot of information going into it, and be very very specific on what you what ChatGPT to do.

so funny enough, givaudan has a custom build ai model for creating perfumes I can't remember its name I think its called carrlto and it is supposedly really good at what it does, I am guessing it is this good because givaudan has the right data to train the generative model. it generates perfumes based on descriptions and they are extremely accurate. amazing piece of tech but it is one of the coolest ways AI has impacted perfumery

[@josephmarch7142]

I found that when you have an ingredient list and a few formulas it can craft a decent base starting point, and it expands from there.

[@Emilnananaxo]

you're one of the first youtubers i watched when i was learning how to make perfume. i feel like im slacking in your content and i can learn more. thank you for your knowledge and sharing it to the world. i hope you know how helpful you have been in the community. :)

[@Ophius]

Your "please can you" requests to ChatGPT are cutely polite! Sounds exactly like how my super-polite boss would request for something :P

[@dreamfulman7796]

Very cool video idea! Just a note though, the version you used is GPT 3.5 which is the free and weaker one. GPT 4 is a lot better (though I don't know how well it would do in perfumery). You can use it for free too through Bing ai. In any case, I enjoyed the video. Keep it up!

[@Jkenzie17]

I literally did a year of research on how to make perfume with Ai& youtube and compared it to what perfumers do to make perfume and it is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT, I can now make my own perfumes and I now know how to formulate and measure correctly and soon opening my own brand, but ofcourse I’m doing it with a professional perfumer expert 🎉❤

[@Kelly-hf1ge]

What an interesting video topic to pic 😉 thanks for the video!

[@MewChar]

Hello, amazing video, when do you think your stater kit Will be in stock internationly again?

[@XGamers]

I was actually using it as a foundation of sorts and building on it. I pretty much describe the feeling and picture of what I want people to imagine when they smell the Parfum.

[@BslushS2]

Going into making my first ever perfume 😬 I have high and low hopes in a sense, lots of pressure on me as I'm making it for a friend for his birthday and don't want it to smell bad. I'm buying my raw materials off mystic moments, ever heard of them?

[@Alritealritealrite]

With the Carrier oils, it sounds more like homemade beer to oil.

[@user-tx8qb7xf8e]

First formula was actually great. Similar to smt like ysl toxedo or ingenious ginger by goldfield&banks... Idk what you found wrong with that

[@WaechterGerard]

Are all the raw materials diluted in alcohol (10%)? what will be the deference if we dilute these materials in DPG ? please inform as I am a newbie

[@chuckapostolas7149]

Very interesting concept. Food manufacturers are already using AI to develop and refine recipes with great results and AI will become commonplace with fragrance makers very quickly. Here are some ideas that might get you closer to what you're trying to accomplish. Using ChatGPT 3.5 is like using a basic math textbook to learn algebra. It's a very basic model that exclusively uses old training data without the ability to browse the Internet. Using advanced models like Google's Gemini or Claude will get you better results. AI is only as good as the prompt you give it. The better and more specific the input, the better the output. Here is an example of a similar approach using Gemini. I've given some background, the style of fragrance I want to emulate and guidance on what I want the different to incorporate. Prompt: "You are a world-class perfumer in the style of Pierre Bourdon. You have created such iconic perfumes such as Dior Sauvage, Creed Aventus and YSL Homme. Your job is to create a new perfume in the style of Valentino Uomo Intense with fruity top notes, earthy middle notes such as juniper and sage and flowery base notes. The formula should be written with portions noted in grams and synthetics can be used as needed." Here are the results: ## Valentino Uomo Evocativo (Evocative) This fragrance builds upon the classic Valentino Uomo Intense structure, adding a touch of playfulness and lightness with a vibrant fruity opening and a sophisticated floral base. **Concentration:** Eau de Parfum (15% fragrance oil) **Total Volume:** 100ml **Top Notes (30 minutes):** * Italian Mandarin Oil (Citrus nobilis) - 5g: Uplifting and zesty, captures the essence of the Mediterranean. * Pink Pepper CO2 Extract (Schinus molle) - 2g: Adds a touch of spice and warmth to the fruity accord. * Calone 1950 (1,0,1-Trimethyl-3-cyclohexenyl acetate) - 1g: Synthetic molecule with a fresh, oceanic vibe, enhancing the airiness of the opening. **Middle Notes (3-4 hours):** * Juniper Berry Oil (Juniperus communis) - 3g: Earthy and slightly woody, provides a dry contrast to the sweetness of the top notes. * Clary Sage Oil (Salvia sclarea) - 2g: Herbaceous and aromatic, adds depth and complexity. * Lavandin Grosso Oil (Lavandula angustifolia) - 2g: Aromatic with a hint of floral sweetness, creates a smooth transition to the base. **Base Notes (6+ hours):** * Orris Root Absolute (Iris germanica) - 4g: Powdery and slightly floral, lends a touch of elegance and sophistication. * Violet Leaf Absolute (Viola odorata) - 2g: Green and slightly powdery, adds a unique floral character. * Ambroxan (Ambrox super) - 3g: Synthetic molecule with a woody, ambergris-like character, provides depth and warmth. * Iso E Super (1-(1,1-Dimethylethyl) - 4-Methoxybenzene) - 2g: Synthetic molecule with a woody, cedarwood-like character, extends the longevity of the fragrance. * Vanilla Bean Absolute (Vanilla planifolia) - 1g: Sweet and creamy, adds a touch of sensuality and warmth. **Solvent:** Dipropylene Glycol (DPG) - 78g: A fragrance-grade alcohol that allows the perfume oils to dissolve and project. **Instructions:** 1. Weigh all essential oils and aroma chemicals into a clean, dry flask. 2. Slowly add DPG while stirring gently to ensure complete dissolution. 3. Allow the mixture to macerate for at least 48 hours in a cool, dark place. 4. After maceration, filter the fragrance through a coffee filter to remove any sediment. 5. The perfume is now ready to be bottled. **Tips:** * This is just a starting point, feel free to adjust the proportions based on your own preferences. * Consider adding a small amount of tincture of benzoin (1-2g) to enhance the longevity and sweetness of the fragrance. * Let the finished perfume mature for several weeks before wearing to allow the notes to fully meld together. This fragrance evokes a sense of confidence and sophistication, perfect for the modern gentleman. The unexpected combination of fruity top notes with a floral base creates a unique and intriguing scent profile. Since I'm not a perfumer I don't know how accurate this looks but from a layman's perspective it seems like a good starting point.

Our friend and I where just talking about developing a machine learning project about perfume concoction 'cause we were so bored of our capstone projects that needs to be in line with progressiveness instead.

[@sammacer]

Good luck

[@Engrr_Zafar-Iqbal]

I'm already working with AI. Somewhat helpful and sometimes very very confusing with wrong calculations.

[@justaddlight]

Very interesting. Appreciate you taking us through it Sam. Does seem like it's good at faking it eh? 😄 Hence the "artificial." But you're spot on that a dedicated and trained AI like the one used at Givaudan could potentially be a very helpful assistant. No doubt that it will eventually become the gold standard in the future. Version...141. 😂

[@kingperfume5484]

Hi .. cool ...help me to buy the raw materials... from where ..?

[@7hrdvvxgjkknb269]

Hello! I watched some of ur vids about making perfumes but I still don’t know which synthetics to use… what’s the difference between molecules and aldehydes and can I mix them? And how about CO2 extracts? Can I mix synthetics with natural ingredients?

[@sammacer]

Aldehydes are a type of molecule, co2 extracts are a type of natural - I explain all this in far more detail in my online course. You can mix all of them together so don’t worry :)

[@elenar.4669]

Can you somehow sterilize/clean the pipettes so that you can reutilize them? Just thinking about the waste.

[@sammacer]

Unfortunately not, at least for a different raw material. The risk for cross contamination is just too big

[@rppbodo]

Hi, Sam. New fan here from Brazil. I got into perfumery recently, and I would love to reproduce my favourite fragrances at home. I found everything I wanted at Creative Formulas, but one: the Givenchy Play formula. OMG, I can't find it anywhere. 😢 Do you have any idea where I can purchase Givenchy Play's formula? Best regards.

[@sammacer]

No idea, sorry!

[@slejkjede3160]

Hi sam, I am new to parfumery and I was wondering if I can mix solvents together. For example if I have Vanillin 25% in DPG can I mix it with parumers alcohol?

[@perfumerLevon]

Yes

[@bobbyhill1156]

​@@perfumerLevon All the aroma chemicals should be diluted in DPG? I'm planning on using some of them for a solid perfume, but my aroma chemicals are not diluted.

[@networkerkhi6252]

big fan Sam. Love from Pakistan

[@jjonsb]

Can you please make a Twilight perfume dupe. It has not been available since 2010. Fragrance notes: Lavender, Tonka Bean, Benzoin, Ylang ylang.

[@Jkenzie17]

Crazy what AI can do 🫶

[@Jkenzie17]

Amazing video ❤watched from beginning to end *okay last comment😂😊

[@MewChar]

Did you add any alcohol, if you didn’t why? ( I’m trying to learn )

[@sammacer]

Yes since the raw materials are already diluted to 10%

[@9thhydra424]

Could you Pleases 🙏 add Cedarmoss in your Strater Kits? I am in U.S.A and I can't find Cedarmoss and I would love to have it my oil collections. I love moss lol. If you know a trustful source that I could buy from that has Cedarmoss in U.S.A I would appreciate it 😊.

[@sammacer]

Not sure what cedarmoss is to be honest!

[@carstenmueller5364]

I think it must be easy for firmenich to put the sales of every parfum and the ingridients and See what the computer predicts

Hey Sam , very good video . I can do better editing in your videos which can help you to get more engagement in your videos . Pls lmk what do you think ?

[@romaknyazev8508]

Absolutely AGAINST AI ! BS !

[@superaak]

AI Still not good enough. So the jobs of perfumers are safe for now😊

[@JafariousNovis]

Why don't you ship raw materials? Please, I live in Iraq and I need the raw materials for the beginners that I talked about. I ask you to solve this problem as soon as possible

[@sammacer]

It’s because many are flammable and the shipping companies won’t take them

[@zathoorafragrances]

Good try

[@fetadailyviewersreactethio663]

I gotta tell u bro ur videos are outstanding and your perfect ilubrating but plz make ur videos fun i cant concentrate on ur ideas because u got boring and boring every 4min looks like u live

[@sammacer]

Which past videos do you think are the least boring ones I’ve made that you want to see more like?

[@Mi3940]

NO SIR. IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT JUST ANOTHER PERFUME SITTING IN SHELVES WITH GROSRY.YOU CAN DO THAT WITH AI. IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A TRUE PERFUME THAT HAS A PROPER MATH.? NOP.....😏✌️

[@Upanishads108]

Hi Sam, If someone wishes to learn about all the raw materials specially naturals in making CPOs, with clarity on smell profile & notes, and which notes are generally good to mix together. It will be big help if you can guide me,🙏I wish to learn Making attars and CPOs.

[@sammacer]

What are CPOs?

[@Upanishads108]

@@sammacer i meant concentrated perfume oils like attars, i will be greatly obliged if you can guide me on the source, books, channels, etc which can help me learn how to use natural raw material. I am working to create my ingredient pallet. And i am starting new so I wish to be careful in spending. Even before i start actually doing anything, i wish to learn enough to avoid mistakes as much as possible. Also, your videos on memorizing the ingredients helped a lot.

[@Upanishads108]

Since AI fails to learn based on human senses but if somehow all the scents with their raw material formula with notes and if one feeds all raw materials of the world with the notes clarity. Then may be AI will create new unique blends but will it be good or not is something, i feel AI may not excel.😂😂
