Thank you, Sam, for all your hard work. I came across your channel a few days ago, and thanks to you, I'm already on the right track; I placed an order with Perfumers Apprentice, and I feel very guided and supported.

@@sammacer With the holidays upon us, i havent posted in over a week due to being super busy. But the next videos to come will be more 'material showcase' videos. A bunch of subscriber requests want to hear about comparing ozonic/aquatic materials, and also woody-amber material comparisons.....so ill probably do those next

Luca Turin's Lectures are great. Thanks for the recommending it!

[@yura2424]

The suddenly became locked now :(

[@yura2424]

Here is the message from his page "The lectures have temporarily been taken off youtube until I find another home for them. This series of lectures was commissioned by the Chinese firm Aromuseum for viewing on their app. I am most grateful for their support which allowed me to dedicate time to this project. Apparently a lot of people in China are illegally accessing the lectures on KZbin using VPNs and then declining to subscribe to Aromuseum because they can get free content. Even though Aromuseum had rights to China only, this was not planned for, and I have no wish to hurt their business model. We are in discussions on how best to fix this to everyone's satisfaction. Sorry for the temporary inconvenience. "

[@sdhute]

It's nice perfumers apprentice offers the formulas for their accords. Because if your using an accord can't make yourself. You are at risk of discontinuing your fragrance.

[@sammacer]

For sure. Pell Wall also offer formulas for their bases but it's not quite so good as you still need to buy the formula separately.

Hi Sam. If a pre-diluted material listed in a formula for instance vanillin 50%, does that mean the 50% dilutant counted as part of the final dilution of 15% (assuming we’re producing EDP). For example: Material A - 1g Material B - 1g Vanillin 50% in DPG - 1g To make a 15% perfume, Do we calculate it this way - 3g concentrate + 17g ethanol OR 2.5g concentrate + 0.5g DPG (used to pre dilute vanillin) + 13.67g ethanol Thanks in advance!

[@ymyi]

Thank you for this insightful information, I would like to ask you about the Turkish brands that manufacture oils as well, do you recommend them or it's better to stick with the European ones? Thanks again

[@sammacer]

The country doesn't matter, what matters is the quality of supplier. Both locations have better and worse suppliers.

This video was very good mate. I knew a lot of the stuff on it already from researching it for ages. It will definitely come in handy for people who don't and it helps it's all in one video! Oh one bit of the fragrantica you showed with the citrus reminded me about hatkora lemon. Really want to get or make that note. It's from Bangladesh and smells very good. Also tastes so so nice. If you ever go East London then try it in Spice hut! hatkora Donner kebab 😄

[@juelraj3901]

@@sammacer Thanks! Oh btw I have diluted all my EO's and AC's. That part of it is quite relaxing lol I am guessing the blending is where I'll get frustrated a little. One thing I noticed bid the grapefruit @ 10% only lasted a couple of mins on the strip and was very hard to detect. Should I use an AC instead?

[@sammacer]

@@juelraj3901 Yes great observation, that's just how grapefruit is, it's a top note. It's very hard to make it last longer using synthetics while keeping it smelling great. This is where the anatomy of a perfume comes into play. Rather that fight it, find a mid / base note that it leads into; embrace it as the opening of the perfume and try to become at peace with that.

[@kkatfightt]

Sam! Thank you so much for all the info you've put out into the universe for others to learn. Kind of funny that you have no idea that you've basically been my perfumery professor the last couple of weeks while I literally take notes by hand as I have all your videos playing back to back in my queue! You're such a knowledgeable source with good intentions to share what you know and I respect that tremendously. I do have one question! I am desperate for some sort of app or software to use as a database for my materials/inventory and formulas, I know you have one linked on your website but I am PC only. Any suggestions for good organizational softwares/apps for PC users? :)

[@allysonbriner1883]

This is really helpful, thanks! For the IFRA library, I notice that when I search some aromachemicals there is no information for them (e.g. linalyl acetate, C12 MNA). Does that mean the aromachemical is probably safe to use? Or am I perhaps searching in the wrong way? I tried searching by both name and CAS #.

[@sammacer]

I usually search by both name and CAS just like you have done :) If it doesn't show and it's a common perfumery raw material it's probably safe

It’s important if you plan to sell them in the EU. Otherwise you should check if your country has its own laws.
