[@sammacer]

Thank you! I really appreciate your kind words :). The business makes the videos possible :)

[@originalsupermommy]

WOW! Bravo! I sniffed along each note on test strips and then did your exact formula. AMAZING! Thank you!

[@sammacer]

Awesome

[@miseeire8832]

Made this, it was very nice. might try to add to it tomorrow. Cheers Sam, always nice get a little insight into your processes, and your thoughts and reasonings when your working something out.

[@sammacer]

Thank you and good luck with your creation

[@KingdomPerfumes]

Going to try this as soon as I get these materials. Thank you Sam for the value you add to indie perfumery!

[@sammacer]

Enjoy! Thank you.

[@KingdomPerfumes]

@@sammacer my pleasure

[@victorialetnich8380]

Loving your videos, and also jealous of your Brand New Eyes album

[@csabapargariu1177]

I tried this a couple days ago and to me, it smells like the real thing. Pretty realistic! Thank you!

[@sammacer]

Fantastic, glad you like it

[@yunisazizli7737]

Sam, thank you bro, as an amateur frag lover, it is just a gem for me. Thank you!!! Salute to you!!!

[@sammacer]

No problem

[@midasmines8072]

Thank you Sam, with lots of gratitude for your sharing

[@sammacer]

Thank you!

[@blackphantom99]

Thanks Sam, awesome video mate. Can’t wait to try ☺️👍🍍

[@sammacer]

Cheers man, yeah this is a good one to try because it's only 5 ingredients and 3 are used for other things.

[@originalsupermommy]

SO JUICY! Twelve hours later and the scent strip still smells like pineapple. You sir are a wizard! ❤

[@sammacer]

Thanks dude. Glad you could get the full value out of the video! Enjoy the accord :)

[@nickkerinklio8239]

Very helpful. Don’t stop making videos, you’ll have thousands of views eventually

[@sammacer]

Glad you're finding it helpful, I'll try my best!

[@NicoHeinrich]

I love watching your videos! Looking forward to your next one :)

[@sammacer]

Thank you! Glad you're enjoying them :)

[@dhperfumes3524]

I had a crack at this this morning but I used Amyl Acetate (10%) instead of Allyl Hex. As probably expected it came out a little sharper (nail polishy) and the acetate also seemed to elevate the Cis3 significantly. I like my pineapple a little sweeter and softer so I reduced the Acetate by half and halved the Cis3 from your accord. Seemed to do the trick. I've order the Allyl Hex and will try that in the accord when it arrives.

[@sammacer]

Nice to hear. I expect the one you made smells closer to banana / pear - Amyl Acetate usually does that!

[@vivianetardif7936]

Very useful and well explained, thank you! ❤

[@sammacer]

Thank you 🙏

[@BaraSupercook]

‘Arak’ (in the Indonesian language) is a drink made of feremneted coconut flower sap or can also be made of palm tree flower sap. It has a sweet and a slight caramel aroma

[@sammacer]

Thanks for the info

[@nirkedem1]

It's an alcoholic drink, very similar to Ouzo or pastis, therefore an anisic smell, nothing caramelic about it.

[@rickscars7395]

Great tutorial Sam, thanks 👍

[@sammacer]

Cheers

[@brunowillems7433]

Suuuuuuuper. I like your method to learn. Continue !!!

[@sammacer]

Thanks dude

[@juelraj3901]

Great video Sam. I don't know if it was my chat about Pineapple that prompted you to make this video but it's very interesting. I only have the Ethyl maltol and allyl amyl glycolate. I'll have to try and get some fructone, allyl hexanoate and cis-3 hexanol

[@sammacer]

Thank you. Yeah I had been planning it for a while but your comment certainly gave me a boost to get this one out more quickly. If you're wanting a pineapple accord for your perfume I really recommend getting those missing ingredients and following along with the video - let me know if you agree with my thoughts on the trials or not!

[@juelraj3901]

@@sammacer I thought it was me mentioning it! Lol great time for me to watch this. Will have a test once I get the materials. I am like you, I really enjoy fruity notes. I am sure you are planning to do more fruit accord video's later which I look forward to 👍

[@Ckomon]

I’m guessing it’s unintentional, but the lighting gives the video a tropical vibe!

[@sammacer]

It was intentional, glad someone noticed!

[@anmayo917]

I swear I'll and like watch every fruit accord video you put out on the channel

[@sammacer]

❤️

[@laurenbray8314]

Recently we bought a fresh pineapple after doing research on how to create fruit accords and I noticed when I smelled the whole pineapple why pineapple and apple accords usually share a lot of the same aroma chemicals. They smell almost exactly alike but pineapple has that slight tropical note. I never noticed it until getting into perfumery.

[@sammacer]

That's super interesting, I haven't tried that but thanks for the heads up. It makes sense because Fructone is also called apple ketal. Did you find any other aromachemicals in common other than those mentioned in the video?

[@NicoHeinrich]

Depending on how ripe it is, to me, a pineapple (as well as most apples) also has a sour citrus note.

[@wyomingpark]

Nice. I would have added Allyl cyclohexyl propionate. Diluted either to 5% or 1%. It lasts 356 hours on The Scent strip. You can bring your pineapple in your formulas right down into the base

[@sammacer]

I don't have any but I just looked it up and it seems very interesting - thanks for pointing it out!

[@wyomingpark]

@@sammacer No problem if you can get it, try it. I love it I buy mine from Perfumers world.

[@noo6128]

Hi Sam. I was just wondering if you can use accords in stuff other than perfume like beard oils or shampoos for example

[@elkamikazetimido4032]

Hi, Ethyl Butyrate can be a good ingredient for a pineapple accord?

[@timmatkowski3840]

Stole it. Love it. Thanks a lot, Sam!

[@sammacer]

Haha, no worries!

[@Yuchub33]

Nice. I use ethyl hexanoate, ethyl methyl butyrate, ethyl maltol, cyclogalbanat, diethyl malonate and orange EO. Can you make a video on how to know if aroma chemicals are top, middle, base notes? Based on their physical properties please

[@sammacer]

That's easy - all you need to know is test them out and see how long they last: Top is less than 1 hour and base notes more than a day on the scent strip

[@ayushyamanmall6717]

can we use this as flavour in candies

[@dmitryaksenov9166]

Hi and thanks for the video! BTW arak is an anise-flavored middle eastern alcoholic drink very similar to sambuca but not sweet 😉

[@sammacer]

That's really good to know, thank you! I didn't get any anise/sambuca vibes from the allyl hexanoate though so I don't know what that book is talking about 😂

[@sammacer]

@Contra Punctus Well yes, I think that Pell Wall must have taken the spelling 'Arak' from the same book I was reading from. I must say that I didn't think it smelled like rum either any more than the ethanol solvent itself. But yes, very interesting to hear that the opinion is shared and there is in fact both 'Arak' and 'Arrack'

[@metalcharisma]

is it spell like ARAK & NIPA.. if yes, ARAK is an alcoholic beverage and NIPA a most common tree in Asian country. Its have juicy sweet fruit.

[@texasfan8892]

I would love to see a tutorial on making a dark, spiced plum accord. I've used materials such as prunella, datilat, pyroprunat, dimethyl benzyl carbinyl butyrate yet they just don't seem to give me what I'm looking for, which is that intense fruitiness. Perhaps alpha or beta damascone would help?

[@sammacer]

I've never tried to make a plum accord before so I'm just as clueless as you! I don't have any of the ingredients you mentioned, but I do think that sultanene could fit the bill, maybe with some ethyl maltol and cinnamon bark oliffac to back it up. I can see damascones working too.

[@texasfan8892]

@@sammacer Ok thanks, Sam! I'll give that sultanene a try. Perfumer's Apprentice is the only place I've seen that has it. I've also seen some people on Basenotes mention using euganol for a little spice as well as raspberry ketones.

[@sammacer]

@@texasfan8892 Are you in the UK? If so I know a private supplier who might be able to help you out with the Sultanene. Yes I can see the eugenol working as long as you don't use too much. I think the raspberry ketone could work too.

[@casualtake1497]

where to buy the book sir?

[@marxen-kanmayoussef1604]

I like the Idea of Ethyl Maltol in a pineapple 🍍 accord, BUT I think that the use of Manzanate and Diethyl Malonate are necessary for a Pineapple accord. I would change Fructone with Tropicate in a very low concentration... 😉

[@sammacer]

Nice ideas. I don't have diethyl malonate or tropicate so couldn't try them. I have manzanate and I feel like it could fit well.

[@ajayherf4315]

Arack is a Lebanese spirit it has an aniseed flavour similar to ouzzo (Greek)

[@sammacer]

Thank you 🙏

[@gmessara]

Arak is a spirit which originated in the Levant countries Like 🇱🇧 Lebanon. It's main note is Anise...

[@sammacer]

Very interesting! Thank you

[@shashigandla2315]
