I would definitely love to see you highlight more aquatic materials type videos
Some very good leads to develop ur own aquatic fragrance.Thanx for sharing SAM.
Hey Sam! Great video, can’t wait to try it out! This will be the first perfume I create! I just got into perfumery, ordered most of the common raw materials and this video is perfect because I have all these. Do you plan to create another tutorial videos like this? Thanks!
It's funny, when I was starting out in perfumery, I was like GIVE ME THE FORMULA, now I look for things such as justifications for why people use various materials, how different people perceive them, plus historical usage 😊
Yeah I have to agree, you can never learn much just by looking at a formula alone without understanding, it needs to be either being explained or broken it into parts yourself
@@sammacer I thought the whole Aquatic genre was started by Davidoff Coolwater in 1988. It claims to have actual Sea water, which is as aquatic as it can go, but may be it has Colone + Hedione. Can you check? Also Bergamot also works well with Aquatic.
Hi Sam, LOVE YOUR VIDEOS ! You have helped me understand perfumery alot more (Beginner)... My best prayers are with you. I wanted to request you to discuss fragrance: Bleu De Chanel, I would really like to know what kind of perfume it is and what are the materials that transitions in it so well... I love its projection and the base notes are so calming and gives so much pleasure. Looking forward to your new videos !
Thanks Sam, I have struggled with fresh style perfumes to get what I am looking for and I will try using this as a base. I live in south Florida and this style scent is what I spend most of my time trying to create. Thanks again!
Hopefully it works out for you!
Great idea now that summer is here - thanks Sam!
Thanks!
Smashing! Thanks Sam, waiting to get some more hedione, and helional (for the first time). Then will give it a whirl.
Good luck!
Thank you bro!
Thanks for the guidance
You r very comlex person
I am seeing your channel since six month and I have wached diffrent type of perfumers on RUclips but u r very extraordanary than another
Yes! Make the list...aquatic scents are best sellers!❤
One of the best aquatic fresh citrus aromatic spicy woody musk powdery is Hugo Element in 2009. The re-formulazation is not great as early batch. All accords that you need is in there & balance, each accord works together. I am still in love with the smells. So sad it is discontinued.
Very informative! Thanks!
Great video, Sam. Love watching your content. The problem with any aromachemical which is fairly pH stable/stable in detergents or bleach, is that it gets hijacked by the functional fragrance industry. Fresh top note ACs like DHM and lemonile really fell victim to this.
Great point, especially the cheap to produce ones
😂😂😂 that's the top thing I look to avoid: does it smell like toilet spray? Does it smell like a hospital? Does it smell like elderly people? Those are my top questions.
What a great experience. I have made it without Calone but its amazing. I am getting complements but the credit goes to yoy. Thank you Sam. Blessings and prays.
Thank you, glad you like it!
@SamMacer any idea how to get a driftwood and raspberry notes to use in aquatics? Can you do a video on that?
Can you show us how to make a gooseberry accord? There is absolutely no information online about that, and we cant buy it either!
Yes please. Make a video of synthetics.
Thank you for this very helpful to beginners like me ❤ would like to ask If is It okay to replace Hydromircynol into rosemary?
Informative Video. Keep up the good work... 👍
Thank you
This is great! I would be curious to know if you’ve tried a more oceanic or “beachy” aquatic perfume? Would love to see you talk about that subgenre of aquatic perfumes.
Thanks! And no I haven’t :)
Great idea, you may contrast green and blue "notes"!
Hey Sam! Don't know if you've a video on the subject of BHT, what it is, and how to use it as a preservative esp. in perfumes with lots of naturals. Great vid! Started playing with marine/aquatics lately so this is quite helpful. Adoxal, Clonal, Algenone specifically. Haven't gotten how to work with Precyclemone B ending up removing ias it is _really_ soapy (+ Amyris esp.). Perhaps w Carnation, Rose or Ylan Ylang might make a velvety Dove Soap fragrance?
It’s really that simple, just add a little BHT as a preservative. I haven’t used precyclemone b in a while. And sounds like it could work, why not give it a go
@@sammacer Great! Thank you man! Made a 10% concentration (5g). Would a quarter gram be sufficient? Thanks again!
Hi Sam , great video, which dilute can be use for this 10% aqtic base. Is it soluble in water.
Thanks so much Sam! New to your videos and enjoying them very much! Trying to make a nice marine/ aquatic accord with natural materials. Any ideas for me?🙏
with only naturals, try cucumber aldehyde, melonal and linanool. but youll need AC for profound effects. you cant substitute them.
Unfortunately I don’t think it’s possible! The closest you could get is probably something like seaweed absolute and ambergris
Yes actually really easy! Just take an empty atomizer, find your nearest rock pool fill it with ocean water and wala!
yeah pls make more video like that
for dior home style perfume
and nische perfume too like marley - amouage-master peace-
absaloutly make a video how to make perfume like mancera cedrat boise
versus versace
hypnoise lancome
Hello Sam, is there date oil that I can buy or an accord that I can make?
Hello, is ethanol CAS 64-17-5 suitable for making perfumes?
I am making essential oil perfumes.
Hey Sam, any help on how to make a “Dry Wood” accord? Any help would be appreciated.
can u please make a how to remake aqua di gio fragrance , but the older formulation ??
What would your opinion be on a paper scent or even an accord? I have been messing with it for awhile and have yet to get to a satisfying result.
you are the best fr
Great Video Sam 👍
Can you share Acqua di Gio Profondo Perfume Formulation
Unfortunately I don’t think he’ll be able to do that. The specific formula for commercial perfumes are not disclosed to the public and for good reason if you think about it. You can go to websites like Basenotes or Fragrantica to find out which fragrance notes are featured in a particular cologne/perfume that interest you but you likely won’t get the exact same result compared to the real stuff. Take it from me.
Hello Sam,
Thanks for the amazing videos. I have a beginner question. Does the order of adding EOs and accords matter?
Thanks
No it does not!
Any possibilities for your app to launch on androids?
how much percent should i use and how much fragrance oil or essential oil should i use for 250 ml of perfume alcohol?
new here, for all these accords - what makes an aquatic fragrance “eau de parfum” ? or any fragrance really from all the accords & scent based videos youve created
those are key to aquatic types. ill add melonal (natural) and linalool, floralozone.
Those sound like very fitting additions
Hi! Love your videos! Thank you so much!!
I have a question. Can I use food essence to make perfume? I generally use fragrance oils and alcohol for perfumery.
I would advise against it and say to use raw materials meant for perfumery instead
@sammacer I can't find them and they are not cheap. Probably I'm going to buy a couple in some time of this year. But is more for ambient now. When I buy the raw material, I'm going to start with people.
I downloaded the formulair app. I look forward to a video covering how to use the app.
This one has you covered:

Brilliant!
Thank you sir. ❤❤❤
Hi Sam,thank you very much for this acquatic base.i see on the formula calone is 10%, but previusly u say that u usally dilute at 1%.
Yes it’s up to you, a good exercise would be to try both and see the effects
Awesome 😊🙏🏼
Hello, not looking to make anything but fragrant water for my water filtered vacuum. If I add straight oil to water it creates a heavy milky film all over the container!! So? What do I do. I would make candles and diffusers. I find even my favourite companies are just not strong anymore to the nose 😳. I love vanilla, musk, lilac, bergamot etc. tend towards earthy not melon or cotton scent
Whats is the lasting of this accord.?? After making can any one tell the lasting???
It’s like Náutica Boyage?
Dihydromyrcenol: clean, fresh, lime, laundry like
This is the best olfactive description i can say 😊
Hey Sam. I have a question. Can I add drops of essential oils for fragrances I've bought to alter/improve their sent profile? For example I curious about adding geranium essential oil to my Bentley Intense for men. It says it says African Geranium in it but I dont really get much. Would it be safe to add to the bottle? I also wish to Add pine or bergamot to my Encre Noire by Lalique to give it a little zing of freshness.
Sure, if you want to
Great starter base Sam. I'm a fan of lemon oil as well! 🍋
Thank you!
Where can i buy raw materials?
Good morning Sam ,am Bobby from Nigeria...tnks for these videos.Pls how can I get this materials eg Ambroxan etc.Tnk you
Check the suppliers in my “how to make perfume” video
Its really sad here in our country, most of the important ingredients like ambroxan,iso e super, calone, hedione etc are not availble. Only the common essential oils are available so its very challenging to create perfumes with such elements.
Thanks for this, Sam. Very informative although I do wonder just what kind of effect some of these ingredients would have, given they are typically used at very high amounts in formulations undiluted (hedione, timbersilk and ethylene brassylate to be exact). In my humble opinion, unless you’re making an extremely small trial batch, I personally don’t see the point in diluting those materials. Again, just my opinion.
This is exactly what that is, a small trial batch!
If you wanted to make a full sized batch then you would rewrite the formula in terms of the undiluted raw materials and then use those.
Ok thanks!
Hey Sam, could you please make a video explaining on how to know how many grams of fragrance ingredients/alcohol you need to put in a bottle? Or is it 1g per 1mL? Thanks!
It’s different for each perfume, so to find out you need to weigh a known volume of your perfume
@@sammacer Got it, thanks Sam! Ordered some of your 10mL sample bottles and storage racks recently, 10/10 quality.
Great video! 😃👏Are you classically trained or self-taught ? If you’re classically trained, which perfume-school did you go to? If you’re self-taught, do you have a degree in chemistry or have you taken any classes on the subject? I’m really corious to hear ☺️
Thank you! I’m self taught but did a degree in chemistry. I’ve never taken perfumery classes but learned from books instead.
Thanks
In terms of aquatics like this that tend to fade quicker, are there any base molecules you would recommend to make aquatics last longer or give it a little more body which would you recommend (iso e, ambroxan, jovanol etc)
Ummm, ambroxan is in his top 4 materials for aquatics...
Out of these, I would say DHM is the only one that fades quickly
Awesome 👍😊
Can I use dimyrcetol instead of dihydromyrcenol? If yes then in what percentage should I use it??
I would have thought it’s completely different
Hello Sam can you make a vedio about organic perfume❤
What about it?
Natural perfume without Alchol
Please make a video on how to do a cotton candy accord 🙏💖
Try Ethyl Maltol in combination with Vanillin
@@sammacer oh thank you!
Hi Sam,
I find this foundation interesting, I would say a skeleton of an aquatic formula, I've been studying a formula that is of the fresh/aquatic type, I still haven't seen how I'm going to manage to make it last for a good couple of hours, even though Calone is strong it's not a note Base is more from the Heart.
For me, the question is not at the Top and Center of the olfactory pyramid (some say that such a thing doesn't exist, but it's easier to classify it that way), because that formula cannot be said to have a strong base, at least in my point of view.
From a perspective, the question I ask myself what kind of material will make this perfume last without destroying it, ambroxam or Cetalox seem fine to me, but if it's too much they overwhelm everything, most of the Musks I have (about 40), I believe that change the olfactory profile, I thought of resinoids, but apart from Galbanum, which is another resinoid that is very strong and has a green note, maybe the real Oakmoss, but it is very restricted, and allergenic, by the way, I know that from my own experience, maybe Evernyl, but I don't really like this product.
If I had more economic possibilities, I believe that a touch of a real tincture of Amber gris would help a lot, but to play it is very expensive and we don't know if it's real or fake.
There are certainly suitable products, I'll try it with a touch of Aldehyde C12 Mna.
It's the drama of most perfumery amateurs, the lack of money to have a palette of 2 or 3 thousand products...😁
If Sam remembers any products for Base, I'd like you to say, thank you.
Best regards.
You pose a good question, and there is no perfect answer. If none of your musks work to your liking and you don’t like Veramoss, then I can’t see a great solution! You could try sandalwood molecules and woody ambers, or simply make it an Eau de Toilette with less emphasis on long longevity
@@sammacer
Hi Sam,
Thanks for the answer.
Yes, I think that amateurs cannot count on the captive molecules that big companies keep for their own use, it becomes difficult for amateurs to achieve performances that commercial products have.
I think, that a mixture of Evernyl, Trimofix and a touch of Oak Moss, perhaps with a touch of muscenone or muscone, I'll try.
To reinforce the maritime note, perhaps a touch of Adoxal, what do you think?
Do you have any formula for cool water?
Real Ambergris should do the trick, it is worth the trouble. Also making bases should also help ( Though it sounds like your well versed on this already, and have already tried this)
Make your musk base, and add aquatic materials, not all of them, just 1-2 until your ratios give you the desired effect. Allow it to macerate. Then add that to your formula.
I’ve been working on a formula for nearly a year now in this genre made of 9 bases, and an additional 7-8 materials for the over all scent and effect. It has greatly increased longevity.
At the end of the day, there are limitations, however I will almost guarantee what you have already is stronger/longer lasting to the novice nose than it is to yours.
How would you make an aquatic accord with naturals ? ❤
That’s not really possible since the aquatic raw materials are synthetics, the closest you could get is probably seaweed absolute but I’d say that’s more marine than aquatic
Hy sam. Hope u are doing fine and u are doing excellent.. i have one request. Kindly share a little summary in the end. If any one cant whole video can see summary in the last...
Can mandarin or blood orange woor on aquatics?
Yes
i smell something like black lime (dried lime) in some perfumes. Do you know what that is?
No idea, sorry!
Would you substitute Ambroxan for Cetalox or are they a bit too different for an aquatic accord ?
I don’t have cetalox, but I don’t see why not!
@@sammacer Description says cetalox is a bit more woody than ambroxan, so I was wondering if it would take it too much away from the aquatic family.
If someone has both I'd be interested to know what they think of the variation. =)
Cetalox is a little more powdery, and less of that bite Ambroxan has. It’s a softer Ambroxan. I tend to use it more, but still has the same character.
@@wib6044 That's really good to know, thanks =)
Hi i have one doubt in my perfume I am getting fine dust particle I need to know how to filter that Your have any solution?
Use a filter paper
which filter paper is perfect ?
i would say d h mercenol is combinatatiin of metalic. citrus and aquatic
That seems reasonable to me!
I create one aquatic and I’m trying to understand why mine is giving a little burning sensation
That’s strange, you should test all of your raw materials and alcohol separately to find the culprit
I forgot to mention it in the video, but Jay Mann from our perfumery discord group kindly shared his own aquatic accord:
0.4% Aphermate/Aquamate
0.4% Myrac Aldehyde
0.4% Precyclemone B.
1.8% Helional
(Percentages are of perfume concentrate I believe)
To my nose, this is a lot more like an soft marine breeze rather than the strong melon / watery smell you get with Calone and Helional.
Incredible! I'm new. Do these percentages mean the content in the fragrance composition or the percentage in the finished perfume diluted with alcohol. Thanks!
@@MagosiaChromiec-jd3jo Within the percentage of fragrance concentrate. Not percentage of finished product.
This is great, thank you Sam. Haven’t used first two.
Thank you so SO much, Sam!!!
Can I use Iso E Super instead of Timbersilk in my marine/aquatic base?
Colorless iodine is one
Do you have any videos on aging or maturing of formulas?
I questioning myself on get Dihydromyrcenol and Helional because I do have MARINE & OZONE - KEY ACCORD and Calone pre-dilute at 10%. But I think I will get them now.👍🏽
Go for it!
What's with the black eye bro 😢
Hey Sam are you a actual perfumery student or self-taught
Self-taught
I like DHM... when it's used in moderation, let's say below 0.00% 🙂
😂😂😂
Haha
Hi! Sam what’s up? Hope you’re fine ❤
Thank you, I’m good thanks!
Hey just some materials I’ve found useful in making aquatic/beach formulas so far. Any other tips or recommendations would be great. One of if not the favorite frag families.
Algenone -(This will smell familiar, many ocean breeze type candles use this) a more pleasant smell to my nose than calone. It is what I thought calone would smell like before I used it.
Benzyl salicylate - Reminds me of sun tan lotion not an aquatic note but can help lend to overall feeling
Pino Acetyl Aldehyde - Helps greatly with performance, and gives a woody coastal vibe. Dilute
Intreleven Aldehyde - Helps with projection and strength. Dilute
Ultrazure- If you’re bored with DHM, or want to augment smell profile, this can be a good replacement/addition. Has fresh aquatic shower gel smell that you will recognize, and performs similarly. Like DHM seems to play well with others, giving projection and performance while giving other notes space to shine.
Floralozone- gives an ocean breeze effect without altering smell.
Andrane- Woody coastal character. Can help give base and character without veering off the aquatic marine feel. Works with algenone, DHM, Ultrazure to give them more nuance and not smell so generic.
C-18 -Has mild coconut character and works with benzyl sal for that beach/sun lotion effect. It does have a weighing down effect sometimes, and formulas takes a while to macerate before the other notes begin to come through.
I’ve used helional and scentenal and don’t get much from them, at least thus far in how I’ve used them.
Fantastic recommendations, I haven’t got all of them so I’ll keep an eye out, I don’t have algenone for example. Thank you.
Yes definitely a must and had a similar experience with it you describe with DHM. It was an oh yea this is what they used in…
Ultrazure too. My first thought when smelling DHM was my dads shaving cream, with ultrazure, my shaving gel lol.
I love Pino Acetaldehyde. You are correct that it smells like an ocean breeze. When you add it to a citrus accord, you get the smell of Fiji that is projected while riding “Soarin around the world” at Disneyland.
💪💪
I brough Dior Sauvage EDP formula from creative formulas Website. If anyone interested, I would like to Exchange formulas, this formula contains 59 materials.
please give other subtitle, example language Indonesian because not all can speak English.
Ever use peonies?
DHM remember me the Marjoram
Prenjection 😂
😂😂
😂
I don’t know why but Calone for me smell like raw eggs, salt and algae 😩🤮 For me, Megamare is pure calone.
This Accord is very nice.
Thank you very much for sharing Sam! 😊
May i ask you what AC you'd recommend for a very transparent fresh, clean, cool airy but non-green smell?
Non-green because i can't stand green notes.🫡
I have a really hard time finding those fresher AC but most of them ozonic notes have a green side to it, that i dislike.
Best Regards
Valentino 🍻
Cheers Valentino. Have you tried floralozone?
Not yet, but i will when i buy. I am looking for buying from you or from pellwall. Bad thing about pellwall is that they dont sell cascalone etc.
Thanks Sam for your recom. about floralozone. Appreciated :)
super
