How To Start Making Your Own Fragrances | Bedroom Perfumery Episode 2

[@drhofstadter]

*damn, your contents are undeniably so cool and unique. we are so lucky to have you in the fragrance community.*

[@yb_bakery]

agreed

[@YasinD95]

I found this quite cool! I remember i did some research into making my own perfumes a few years back but it didn't lead to any action, just research 🤣

[@danielfl.9347]

Same here. Maybe we should try it!

[@blakebeecher8636]

[@DrDroppers]

Too relatable

I'm on that journey starting today let's see if my adhd will not get in the way lol

[@J.D3NNIS]

Story of my life 😂

[@kurush61]

My recommendation as a perfumer is to explore using more aromachemicals. Perfumes made only with essential oils unfortunately usually smell very amateurish. Some other recommendations: 1. Utilize a variety of musks 2. Lily of the valley raw materials are absolutely imperative in getting a finished and refined feel 3. High impact materials need to be added in trace quantities, things like superambers or aldehydes or damascones, etc. 4. You need more materials haha… you always need more materials 🤑 5. Patience. It took me over a year to make my first big breakthrough and make a fragrance that smelled professional. You have to keep smelling, reading, collecting new materials, and most importantly experimenting Good luck and looking forward to seeing your progress

[@gilbertwalker3222]

Lily of the valley in every perfume you make?

[@donttellmejustlisten4598]

3rd is imp but 4 is very important

[@rokinrandy]

Think I’ll just buy Naxos. And cover the feminine dry down after a couple of hours with Joop La parfum. It adds some masculinity back. Do You know how many years and money to figure that out. 😂. I’m throwing up the white flag now. I’ll just pay to wear it.

[@kurush61]

@@rokinrandy it’s much cheaper to just buy the perfumes rather than attempt to recreate them haha. Perfumery is a great hobby but for example I’ve spent thousands of dollars over the last few years just in supplies, and have probably put in close to a thousand hours of studying and experimenting

[@Snypa_fx]

​@@kurush61hi how are you? Thank you for your advice I really appreciate it. I'm.acrually interested in making perfumes myself and want to get into it and the fact that you have your insights and advice after spending 1000 hours studying means alot and I am grateful for you sharing such insights. It's 3 years since your comment and I'm wondering if you're still into perfumery and making your own fragrances?

[@Lachtharr]

This was a great concept. Would love to see more.

[@randomusername266]

Man I'd love to see more of these kind of videos. I've always been interested in this part of perfumery but there aren't many, if any, youtubers atm who offer content like this

[@fetchherskechers8570]

You really need to continue this series, it’s absolutely amazing

[@jegory6014]

Do more of these. I would love to see you try to clone a classic fragrance.

[@SchoolOfScent]

Thanks bro, Dreamer is a classic 😎

[@Maximilian9374]

@@SchoolOfScent You should try to make an aqua di gio

[@sheikhzilani7968]

Even if you didn’t reach your objective. You have made a video that I’ve been looking for so long very educational for me

[@fragitude]

I've tried doing the same thing with a YSL cologne where I bought 90% of the ingredients listed on the box and put them all together. I could really go for one of those decant holders because I'm always afraid I'm going to knock it over when I'm crafting the cologne. BTW my creation was a failure so I went on to just try simple things like replicating molecule 1 and am happy with my creations now.

[@chadczternastek]

This was very original in the realm of KZbinrs doing reviews. There is usually always that exact second when a reviewer does videos for others to doing reviews for money or gift incentives. I see it all the time and it's pretty to tell. I found a lot of good reviewers who I think are legit as doing the reviews for a passion for the art of perfumery. Jeremy is a prefect example of using subscribers for cash. He's not shy about admitting it. Anyways this channel is one I like.

[@Savage_7_99]

Absolutely love this video. As someone who is interested in getting into this I appreciate the knowledge you're giving out here. And I really enjoy the humor, especially at 4:30!! 👍😁

[@ТимурМаликов-н9с]

I love Aaron, bur only after this video I started to understand, what are all these materials he was talking about, please continue!

[@gprince7953]

Allure Edition Blanche would be a awesome clone!!!!

[@callumwyper]

Yes please do !!

[@blacklite911]

This is one of the fragrances I will try first to recreate when I start

[@rokinrandy]

Tobacco. Pipe tobacco. Vanilla. Caramel. I guess we are at the mercy of who makes the oil.

[@gilbertwalker3222]

Arguably the most interesting videos on perfumery on KZbin. Great video, look forward to seeing more of these sort of things on your channel!

[@Mr.E.Fragrance]

You need to bring this one back its great. Very much enjoyed it.

[@joshuaharris7869]

Refreshing to see someone not have to win in their video. Well done honestly

[@rko619guy]

Yess I think we need more different types of perfume videos nowadays!

[@piotrseroczynski1637]

Love this kind of content. Hope we can get some more videos of creating/cloning scents, despite the low views. Keep it up!

[@SchoolOfScent]

Thank you! We did episode 3 recently 😊

[@ndreyey908]

I would love to see you create your perfume!

How didn't I discover this joy of a channel until now? Incredible informative content, dynamic editing, tasteful aesthetics... very, very cool. Regards from Barcelona.

Finally, the long awaited Bedroom Perfumery upload

[@jaimemalpica3459]

Pleaaaase do a part two, these videos are the best. Thanks for the awesome content =)

[@Zakitop10]

Cool video. Something to consider when using the pipettes is to use it at an angle and not vertical, something I saw in the masterclass of perfumersworld mentioned by the great Stephen Dowthwaite.

[@SchoolOfScent]

What’s the advantage?

[@Zakitop10]

@@SchoolOfScent to control the drops more and not let gravity do its work (if I remember correctly)

Wow. Excellent work my friend. You are a devoted alchemist.

[@BrandonBaileyIG]

Xerjoff uden overdose is the higher end version of the dreamer... I like this content, and your passion for the craft/hobby

[@blacklite911]

Nice in hope you stick with it for the channel. I too am going to start amateur perfume making. Once I move to my new place. I’ve watched a lot of videos , a lot in basenotes and blogs and have various supply contacts. Also keep in mind, from what I’ve read, naturals can be more unpredictable than synthetics when mixed. Plus the concentrate will smell different than the EDP (or whatever) of the final product

[@SchoolOfScent]

Which channels do you recommend for Perfumery videos?

[@enamulknowsnothing]

Such inspiring and fun stuff.. sad that you didn't continue bedroom perfumery series. Love all of your videos.

[@cuttingedgevintage]

That was fun to watch, good job omar.

[@zainshahid798]

This is such an interesting series. You should upload more on these lines. Lovely video. Thumbs up 👍🏼

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great info video and I enjoyed it and I'm a big fan of Versace the dreamer I give it a 9 out of 10 and have a blessed day

[@sadrsawi]

I really enjoyed this Wants part 2 ASAP

[@merkury9705]

Schoolofscent, I have seen that the tobacco absolute and rose absolute is quite expensive and I don’t have the money for it. Would you recommend any alternative to it? Would really appreciate an answer I am just starting this hobby, Thank you very much,

[@frenzicles]

Omar this is awesome - really cool to watch and learn from your journey in this space.

[@themoisturehut]

I really want to start creating my own perfumes bc I get so disappointed in the overpriced perfumes that don’t smell like what I want.

[@headbasher1977]

Likewise.

"That was made by a master perfumer"😂😭

I’ve been doing this art for so long (few months) 😔

[@pjsvenska3338]

So interesting! Please remember that Fragrantica isn't always reliable with the notes info ;)

[@kentonyoderiii6708]

Keep doing these fragrance creation videos! It's interesting. Maybe you creating your own signature scent.

[@neo1343]

Production value is amazing

[@Steve-ct1yr]

Nice video! would adding the alcohol help with blending in the notes more? then it will be a nicer comparison maybe

[@giannismpekos3571]

For a first try you did great it seems

[@SchoolOfScent]

Thank you!

[@guayaquilindependiente8763]

[@MrDigitalWorks]

Very nice video! I also startet my parfum experiments 5 weeks ago ... it is highly addictive!

[@alisweid3810]

You dont have to follow the exact same notes to clone a fragrance ! different notes may form the same scent you are trying to mimic . Sometimes you can add more or eleminate notes as you want .

[@theodore7987]

I gotta say that was fun, informal and interesting. Very entertaining

[@PlantswithCoffee]

Cool video, im new to this journey and this really makes me more interested to do it. But also, i am confuse of solvents on how you treat them if you both use it, for example the DPG, Ethanol and IPM- so if you decide this three solvents to use, how you will dial these all?

[@kamrankhanofficials]

Good , I like the fair comparison...

[@sabrinatirabassi3529]

I so much want to do the same, but buying aromachemicals in Italy is damn complicated.

[@lucasbarker4229]

[@skullorious]

Love these videos man keep them up!

[@daniellabuda7744]

Omar, I love you Bro. Phenomenal video. I am getting jealous when I see your lab stuff at home hahah. I created some sort of start point or prototype for a rose fragrance. I used Iso E Super ambroxan ozonic accord and light airy rose accord. It I very airy in general and lasts for 2 hours xD. I want to improve it adding some professional perfume base, sandalore or ambers. Create more vids like this. Cheers!

[@kadenwilliams2547]

Guys, i wanted to make a coffee rose scent, i got my oils, mixed them and added the alcohol, and thats all I can smell :(

[@deanboman]

I would advise you to dilute the coumarin in some perfumers alcohol at 3% and use it this way, it is easier like this.

[@Island-Media]

The final results of this is funny ! hahhaa it is still fun to be creative :) Practice makes perfect.

[@mikebayong8057]

Great work 👏 👍

[@jaynesimmons2403]

Lots of fun. Learned a lot. Would like to see more.

[@TheSecretCosmos]

Absolutely loved this! What an insightful video. We have just shared a few ebooks on perfume history and craft of perfume making for those who would be interested! 💜

[@sharidanmccorkle8536]

Is there a simpler way to do this maybe? Or do you have a suggestion for a creating luxury scents for a reed diffuser at home? If you are not an expert like yourself I mean?

[@The7thSonSteve-O]

I don’t know why I haven’t got your sight before glad I did find it wish this type of video was worth the effort Maybe see if you can get hits with “copycat” or “clone” it the title great video

[@RokSlana]

Great video. One question : how do you clean those glass pipettes?

[@SchoolOfScent]

You don’t. You throw them after each use. 😳

[@RokSlana]

@@SchoolOfScent and you cannot even reuse it for the same compound?

[@hugolopes4286]

You throw them away if they are plastic but glass pipettes can be cleaned out. Soak them in alcohol for a few days.

[@MisterWright82]

[@ibrahimq1018]

Where can I buy this kind of set. I also want to do this

thank you i think im going to try my hand

Where do you buy your essential oils?

[@בניהוהיל]

Sound very cool how you think possible to make inspiring Prada l homme … my favorite would Love if you make video about it

[@caseyrivera4448]

Would you add the perfumers solvent after you've completed your notes?

[@podzi3217]

Where can you get a kit to start making your own?

[@grssu]

Try davidoff coolwater next time, I’m very interested in the process!

[@srgttamtam]

I would argue that there is not one natural material in Cool Water. So it will be very difficult to make with mostly naturals. Cool Water is mainly made up of things like Ambroxan and Cetalox Dihydro Myrcenol Calone Melonal Pineapple Materials like Dynascone Allyl Amyl Glycolate Hedione Linalool Musks like cashmeran and Ambrettolide Bornyl Acetate And maybe a hint of menthol And various other AC's. If you're lucky, there may still be some bergamot EO or lavender in it. But to be honest, I don't think so..

[@BTtr3]

Would enjoy seeing more of this content. :)

[@danielcarparelli2766]

Where can I buy an abundance of these different fragrances oils in the United States?

[@SchoolOfScent]

Try perfumers Apprentice

[@ksajourneys]

Which compound i use for long lasting in perfume brand name plz help me i make a perfume but no have long lasting

[@HomeOfGamblers]

Do you recomend a starter kit with oils?

[@aovint63]

You need to age your perfume for a few weeks and test again. It will become much better integrated and smooth.

[@UnknownNotFound630]

How much would it cost roughly to get started?

[@akmalfaez8027]

Hello man i am into perfumes making i got the concentration like blue de chanel and allure homme sport i have done my research and mostly they said just pour alcohol and perfume concentration . The question is can i add fixative or perfume booster or anything to make it last longer?

[@alexanderkipnis2329]

that cut at 3:22 is comedy gold

[@itscruz1216]

Hey! i was wondering where you got your vile holder, can't find any like yours

[@BoriSSon-Malikov]

I think your try is very hard, because Dreamer and other such perfumes have a lot of neutral elements like dihydroMircenol, helional and other... But i think you know it))) anyway, thanks for video, it's very interesting for beginners and who love perfume theme))) sorry for bad English 😊

[@bollebanan1186]

Vids like this are very interesting so plz do more like this

[@natkobratko3198]

I think u should know this: what does 78% vol mean on a fragrance? Its not alchohol bcs it says that on my edt and they ussualy dont go over 15% perfume oils also o mostly see 78% on almost every fragrance?

[@jameske3001]

Get yourself a small funnel for guiding powders into the glass container. Much easier.

[@SchoolOfScent]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@mustafaakyurek-ki4zc]

Where do you know how much oil you need? How do you calculate that?

[@ReviveRoutines-1]

Can the same thing be done to fragrance or essential oils and then later added to the product? Isn’t the case is middle notes have to be more than both base and top notes?

[@briann9336]

Where can we get ingredients from?

[@antoniogilliam9944]

Where do you get your formulation sheets or do you make them yourself?

[@SchoolOfScent]

From Cotswold Perfumery also
