Love these videos, your expertise shows!

[@texasfan8892]

Not only does stemone work extremely well for creating a realistic rose accord, it is also a must have when trying to make a fig note.

[@bkscents7050]

I love me some stemone for rose! :)

[@caldrumr]

Thanks again for a very informative video. These are really appreciated.

[@MusicKnowte]

Great video! So informative

[@MichaelPaulMagic]

Thanks for this vid! I love using cis 3 hex :)

[@bkscents7050]

Me too! Its so freaking valuable

[@janukisarcar5430]

Thank you so much for ur valuable informations ❤🌹

[@fragfanatic5147]

I agree these are must have green material in ones perfume organ. Your description of each of the material is spot-on.

[@delphew]

WOW Bravo et merci !

I like your approach of "no rules" in perfumery. I like it because it's true. If a formula smells good to you, then it's right. There are those who "science" everything in their lives including their approach to making fragrances. I'm assisting a few folks right now who, for all intents and purposes "wing-it" with mostly real ingredients ( except for those bought pre-diluted ). Their perfumes smell really good and are definitely worthy to be sold in the small, but growing Indie market. Keep making your vids bro. You're likable and have taught yourself very quickly how to understand your material and use them effectively. Good job.

[@bkscents7050]

Thanks for those kind words Dave! :)

[@AromiErotici]

@@bkscents7050 You're welcome bro. You're channel is taking a lot of the "mystery" out of crafting fragrances and I can only assume there are "some" who don't like that....lol....

[@bkscents7050]

Oh trust me, there are PLENTY who don't like it. I even have a follower who purposely "thumbs down" every one of my videos when they launch, lol. Oh well....🤷🏼

[@AromiErotici]

@@bkscents7050 Bwahaha. Wouldn't surprise me if it was a Basenoter. Nothing against the members there, but there's always elitism and pettiness with certain folks and that's just the way it is. I don't interact there anymore for that reason and I'm talking from "certain" mods on down. Anyway, if you ever have something of "yours" reviewed objectively, let me know and I'll review it on my blog at Il Mondo di Odore.

[@bkscents7050]

sweet! hit me up at [e-mail]. I'm finishing up 2 frags right now and id love to send them to ya to get your thoughts on them

[@marqueesiog8210]

Thank you 👌

[@Reign_Of_Is_REAL]

I’m addicted to Cis 3 Hex Acetate 🥰 Smells like if an Apple Jolly Rancher was a flower! But it’s so strong it just takes over 😢

[@kg20008]

Question: how do I go about prediluting fragrances for the purposes of oil based products, such as beard oil? I read that the alcohol doesn't mix well with jojoba and other oils. Love your videos!

[@JuhiMittal]

please do one on aquatic notes.

[@raysanty4270]

Need to stop making these videos... I want ALL the materials you review immediately!!! Thanks for the videos. Very helpful!

[@bkscents7050]

You should at least pick up 3 of these materials on this list :)

[@LearningRussian2019]

Cis 3 hexanol is a great thing

[@aromasfromearth1558]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@torbenchristensen1481]

I have dabbled for years. Now I am getting more serious. And your channel is perfect. I know this is a long shot. But I am asking whomever might know. I am from Denmark. It is easy for me to get all sorts of materials for cosmetics and essential oils etc. But I simply cannot find any supplier of the molecular, synthetics and isolate fragrances, which you describe so often. Basically I am looking for perfumers apprentice inside the EU (which does not include the UK anymore). It is very expensive to get these materials from the US because of taxes and fees plus most of the concentrates are considered hazadous materials, which are extra expensive to import. Do you by any chance know of such suppliers?

[@bkscents7050]

You should look into 'Pell Wall'. They are based in the UK (i think) and are one of the most trusted suppliers in that region.

[@torbenchristensen1481]

@@bkscents7050 Strange how I did not come across them in my search. They do indeed seem to have everything. Bloody Brexit. The world would be a smaller better place without custom fees. Thank. You very much

[@shreejeethrd1136]

can violiff or stemone be used on dipped incense?

[@bkscents7050]

I honestly wouldn't know. I've never made incense before

[@BlainsTube]

@@bkscents7050 You've got to go down that rabbit hole and develop a recipe for bakhoor you can video-share. I've never heard bakhoor discussion from a perfumer's perspective.

[@user-ml1ux7kp7x]

Hi, my brother, I want to reformulate it as possible

[@thiagoribeiropereira3229]

comparing cis 3 hexenol with cis 3 hexenol acetate, what differences do you feel?

[@bkscents7050]

I Don't have the acetate variety to compare with. I have isovalerate and salicilate versions.....but not the acetate

[@connorpowell6338]

I imagine, due to it being an acetate, while it may be similar there is probably a slightly fruity thing going on?

[@thiagoribeiropereira3229]

Perhaps it has a more fruity aspect. But because it is acetate, it is not always that I have a fruity characteristic. For me, isobornyl acetate has nothing fruity.

[@connorpowell6338]

@@thiagoribeiropereira3229 Fair enough man, I could be wrong! Just an observation I've made among my own materials and a characteristic I now associate with them haha

[@connorpowell6338]

Perhaps what is registering with me as "fruity" is the tendency for acetates to be rounder, less fresh than alcohols but not overly heavy either. Who knows, we all process things differently and make our own associations

[@leonardogonzalez3755]

Weird you didn´t mention the fig smell of Stemone. Alongside with Fructone, they give a really good smell of figs leaves

[@bkscents7050]

I don't know why....but I just get 'carnation stems' from that material
