Scenthusiasm: STARTING TO MAKE PERFUME? - HERE ARE THE BASICS

[@pullingthestrings5233]

This was very educational. Although i likely won't be making my own perfume, not because i don't want to but because of resources. But this is still very fascinating.

[@SarahMcCartney4160]

I feel the same about watching people ride horses. :-) Thanks for writing.

I quite like this musk, although I don't have Givaudan's Cervolide but bought unbranded 12-oxahexadecanolide. When I got it I found it to be quite similar in it's incensy vibe to Musk R1, only then I found out that one synonym of the latter is 11-oxahexadecanolide, so probably my nose didn't fool me... To me it has waxy aspects that remind on (blown out) candles. And this is where I usually use it, incense, candle like smells, waxy florals...

Thank you Sarah and Arthur, Happy New Year to all of you !

[@SarahMcCartney4160]

You too! Bonne année.

[@venusbleeds]

when you say MMM at 50-80% of the perfume is it the concentrate or the entire perfume?

[@SarahMcCartney4160]

The concentrate.

[@venusbleeds]

@@SarahMcCartney4160 so it's the diluted version in 15% ethanol right? so that will make 50-80% of the Eau de parfum concentrate (which is 15-20% concentrate in ethanol)

Put the lid back on and write everything down. Just a pro tip about the weighing scales. Get the scales in hand before buying one of the calibration weights. I saw a video of the scales being calibrated with a 500g and 100g weights which I ordered along with my scales, the one that arrive needed a 200g weight... Learn from my mistake!

[@SarahMcCartney4160]

Most scales don't need to be calibrated at this level though. Ohaus don't recommend messing with factory settings. 🙂

[@catface101]

@@SarahMcCartney4160 it being so cheap I don't 100% trust it in my mind. Even just having the weight just to confirm that it is reading the right grams gains that trust a lil

[@SarahMcCartney4160]

@@catface101 Yes, that is a good plan. I've still got some 100g weights for just in case.

Fantastic. How would one work in a blender? At what point? Particularly- magical mystery material

[@SarahMcCartney4160]

There are materials which help others to blend easily and materials which like to stand out more. Those which are sometimes called blenders are not only that, they also have aromas and properties of their own. For that reason there is no simple answer to your question. It depends which material and what else you have already put in there and what effect you want. I use Magical Mystery Materials to surround a blend of more intense materials, to make it smell like an actual perfume.

[@HenrysGrandmaK]

@@SarahMcCartney4160 I see, so then you would add it a drop at a time along with the other materials? Not necessarily a standard percent but more of a preference of scent. Is the correct?

[@SarahMcCartney4160]

@Chin Up Buttercup If I were to put the Magical Mystery Material into a fragrance I would probably make it at least 50% of the blend. But it really depends on what the other 50% is. I can't really give a proper answer unless I know what the rest of your formula is. Watch some of the films about Clouds to see if it becomes clearer.

Thankyou ❤.

[@michaelcobb1559]

Wait ... So if everything is already diluted to whatever % then you don't have to dilute the finished product? Did I hear Arthur say that?

[@SarahMcCartney4160]

Absolutely. If you're already working at a dilution which is safe to wear on skin, you never dilute the finished product down further.

[@marcescalonagaba1978]

Hi! Thanks for the work you do! Question: Wouldn’t 10 percent be 8 out of total weight of 80, so that ethanol should’ve been 72 for the first dilution?

[@SarahMcCartney4160]

Yes, but we don't press "tare" in between the two materials. We put in 8g of the material, then add ethanol until it reaches 80, which means we have added 72g. There is no need to reset the scale to zero after the first 8 grams, subract 8 from 80 to give 72 and measure 72 grams. It's just faster not to reset.

[@marcescalonagaba1978]

@@SarahMcCartney4160 Ah, yes, all clear now, thanks! Might you do a KZbin short about understanding what IFRA means by “maximum compound level”-would that be the concentrate or the finished product? Certainly I couldn’t be alone in being unsure.

[@marcescalonagaba1978]

⁠@@SarahMcCartney4160Thank you-especially for not considering the question dumb-ish! The term “compound” in the lit just made it (maybe makes it) a bit confusing. Btw, really glad that you’re offering online classes. I’ll very probably sign up for the biz class next year if I manage to make something I truly believe in. Cheers 🥂

Would it be possible to ask a few questions about my homemade perfume and his results?

[@SarahMcCartney4160]

You can ask here and I might make a new film. If it's technical, you'll want to join the Scenthusiasm Patreon. If it's private, then this is consultancy.
