Understanding molecular diagrams in perfumery

[@philaerollet3249]

Hey Sam, thank you so much for these videos into the basic chemistry of Perfumery. I just started the Givaudan Perfumery School and as I don't have a background in chemistry, I've been looking all over the web to go more in depth about the molecules we're using. This is the first videos I come across that make sense to me, so thanks a lot for simplifying a complex topic 🙏🏻😊

I sucked at chemistry in highschool. Can’t believe you explained better in 5 minutes than my lab teacher in 1 year😅 thanks!

[@sammacer]

Fantastic

[@kevlar4121]

Be careful, N has a valence of 3 (i.e N makes 3 bonds) and S a valence of 2 only. You should switch the position of the double bond from C=S to C=N. Apart from that, you made a really good job !

[@sammacer]

Great point, thanks for pointing it out, what a silly mistake! I must have done it in a rush and transcribed it wrong and not checked it, sorry!

[@ceruleanedict]

While you are correct about the valency of the N and S atoms, the bonding representation used by Sam is one of the resonance canonicals of the thiazole ring; i.e the bonding does look like that a proportion of the time, however the N and S would be negatively and positively charged respectively. For correctness, these charges should have been included.

I'm very grateful for this and your other technical videos. I also appreciate your perfume making videos too. I'm glad I found your channel and Discord.

[@sammacer]

Thank you Dan

[@blackphantom99]

Thanks again Sam, love the technical side aswell. Have a great week mate 😊👍

[@sammacer]

You too mate 👍

[@ellusilva]

Great video Sam! Personally, I think it's very helpful when we can understand more about the chemistry of molecules and raw materials. Thank you very much!

[@sammacer]

Thank you!

[@chesilmusic2940]

This is very good well done mate

[@douglascampbell6482]

Enjoyed the OC review. Insights on common structural characteristics of aromachemicals and their impact on properties would be fascinating.

[@sammacer]

Yeah I think that would be a good idea to though it's a little tricky to go into anything beyond some simple observations on that topic like analogous things smelling similar

[@tardellimagal]

Thank You Sam for all the information. I really appreciate it

[@sammacer]

Glad it was helpful!

[@renatomochileiro]

Qual o melhor caminho para obter as imagens dessa moléculas? Você usa algum software para desenha-las? Alem disso, onde consigo as dos químicos aromáticos, no site dos fabricantes? Muito obrigado pelo trabalho incrível que você faz.

[@oxnev]

this is very very good content and its all necessary for doing perfumes thank you.

[@adithiyanvenkat4138]

As a Biochem undergrad, this shit is interesting, I'm planning on getting into it myself.

[@sammacer]

Great to hear, hopefully you like it!

[@rickscars7395]

Sam so how does the molecular shape of each aroma chemical/material affect/apply in perfumery? Is the shape of each molecule “connecting” to another a determinant of forming accords for example? (The change of smell)

[@sammacer]

This is a really great question! The short answer is no, the are no rules for using the shape of molecules to help with building a good accord. The longer answer is that in the more technical side of perfumery, there are some reasons it might help. Firstly, it can give you insights into the performance of a molecule; whether it might be more of a top or base note and what mediums it may be better in; for example a candle fragrance or a washing up liquid fragrance. Some times molecules that look similar can smell quite similar, which is useful for categorising them, understanding when they can be replaced with one another, or even help discover new scent molecules in a lab.

[@rickscars7395]

Thank you very much Sam, that was very helpful.

[@sammacer]

@@rickscars7395 No problem at all, it's a pleasure

[@Perfumery_by_Sabin]

I had the same question. Still do pretty much. Might be worth another video as a follow up for the pre launch of scent and chemistry second edition haha

[@Perfumery_by_Sabin]

Somehow haven't watched this video till now

[@EdwardJosephShields-ux2vu]

Where the hell were you when I was in high school over 50 years ago?! LOL 😹 Don’t worry, I know the answer to that. You were waiting to be born! You explained that so well, and so simply, that I can now do it myself. (And it’s about time! 😺)

[@sammacer]

Really glad my explanation helped :)

[@deependcuration]

Appreciate the education!!!!

[@ricardopinto3731]

what a good explanation!!!

[@sammacer]

Thank you!

[@faheemsiddique2279]

Hyy, is it compulsory to knowing molecules structure’s for perfumery study??

[@sammacer]

No

[@christieo1761]

Fascinating!

[@morganwang7902]

Thank you so much-this is a great channel, though why the background music?

[@sammacer]

No problem. And with the background music, why not? 😀

[@homocapensis7854]

Gracias por tu trabajo .

Gracias

You dont need that just learn how you materials work and dance together and that it is.
