[@sammacer]

Thank you!

[@mybad4101]

Thank you so much Sam for this contest, it was great fun! Actually, I cannot wait for the next one, because I really want to win 😉 Also, thanks for all your effort mixing and reviewing them.

[@sammacer]

Thank you!

[@donnawoodward5282]

Thank you Sam. You’re a very generous and insightful teacher. I really enjoyed this video and am inspired to start composing. 🌿

[@sammacer]

Glad it helped, thank the entrants not me!

[@katyayoshida9550]

Thanks again for doing this competition and giving a such a detailed breakdown on all the formulas. I am happy to see that you liked my “Rose of the woods” submission but curious to see what you would have done differently to make it lean more into a unisex territory . This was my original idea to make a unisex rose perfume but I think all the sweet materials took over. 😂

[@sammacer]

Thank you for the entry, it was great! In terms of improvements, my biggest criticism is probably that the basenote seemed slightly too sweet - maybe you could look to make it a little less sweet. In terms of more masculine, maybe you could try different woody notes until you find something that harmonises well. This would also add to the complexity and uniqueness of the overall smell. Otherwise though, I think the formula is an excellent base to try to pull in different directions!

Hey! I'm pretty new to perfuming and I would like to know how to create tables as such and how to read them. Also, I still don't get the point of % rel and % abs. Thanks!

is denatured ethyl alc okay to use for the creations? whats best to use?

[@sammacer]

Yes, although be sure to buy cosmetics grade

[@thulanisando5221]

Hi I always watch your tutorials but the thing is when I make perfume I don't know how much Fragrance oil or drops of oil should i put.

[@sammacer]

You need to test different amounts

[@thulanisando5221]

@@sammacer thank you sir I will do so

[@wib6044]

This is really cool. I’ll have to keep posted on next one.

Cheers, and yes, do!

Thanks Sam but I can't find the PDF on your Discord...

[@sammacer]

Check the competition channel

[@peewee678]

@@sammacer I already did but I was expecting it to be somewhere at the top of the page or like a pinned message. Anyway: I checked again and now I found it at 30 may 2022. I have to admit I'm not used to Discord but I think it's confusing anyway. Thanks nonetheless!

[@samscarspa4755]

Hi sam, i am currently trying to make a 100% natural and organic perfume. Whats the best alcohol for this?

[@sammacer]

I’ve never tried to do that; you should search for cosmetic grade ethanol which fits those specifications

[@samscarspa4755]

Where would you reccomend looking? I’ve looked car and wide and I’m finding it hard to find anything remotely use-able! Would food grade, 95% cane ethanol be ok?

Hello , how to remove the smell of alcohol ? Its overpowering other raw materials poured into it

[@peewee678]

If you apply the fragrance (to your skin or a scent strip) the alcohol will simply evaporate within a few minutes. Don't smell from a bottle; that way you will always keep smelling the alcohol.

[@anasahmed2496]

@@peewee678 No its not that , after spraying , alcohol scent dominates ?

[@anasahmed2496]

Do we need to add Distilled water as mentioned in designer fragrance ? And how much

[@sammacer]

You need to wait for it to evaporate: otherwise you made the fragrance too weak. No distilled water is needed

[@JayMannStuff]

@@sammacer I've heard good things about adding 2% distilled water by weight for the finished formula. I haven't tried it myself. Not sure if it would impact the alcohol smell. My recommendation here is to use a higher quality solvent. I use 200 proof food-grade alcohol instead of perfumer's alcohol. No off-notes of any kind.

[@Perfumery_by_Sabin]

I've always wanted to make a fragrance that smelled horrible, just to have as a prank. But I wouldn't want to lose the trust of my friends who I like to show my trials to haha

[@sammacer]

That should be easy right? Just mix civet with indole…

[@JazzDB]

Shame I didn't participate... Next time I definitely will (I didn't because I'm not on Discord)! I'd love to hear your input on the formulas I'm working on

[@sammacer]

For sure, I hope to do another sometime!
