Hey Sam, Just want to thank you as I learned a lot through your videos. I managed to make 2 formulas that are acceptable though not commercially bought level yet and gave them as gifts. I pretended I just bought them somewhere to get their genuine reactions about it and they liked it! Thank you!
Great video, Sam, and never mind those people who seek simple explanations and shortcut tricks rather than putting the legwork in. The latter is where the fun is in perfumery. Your earlier videos give some good examples of how you can train your mind and senses to work towards that goal. Having said all that, some brief specific examples might have been useful in this video to illustrate how it is done in practical terms, with short vs long accords, extending allusions and illusions of top notes into the mid and base, using abstract florals for transparency, volume and diffusion, choosing sequences of materials for a stable foundation theme-or any of the other concepts I am sure you teach in your course. Anyway, good stuff and plenty of inspiration for other self-taught perfumers. Thanks!
Incidentally, I've got some magic beans to sell to anyone who wants them. Plus a rock that keeps tigers away. 😂 Can you imagine? Another great vid Sam. 👌
Actually there is a resin used in Arabic perfumery and in Africa it was to rub on yourself as deodorant but you crush it and desolve it looks like Frankincense but bigger and its called a musk. Does it come in a crystalline/gum resin structure?
Hi Sam, Big fan here! Just want to ask a little question. Is it a good thing to make notes/ accords in some type of dilution to develope a formula? I really intrested but don’t really understand how perfumers make a good formula
Hi Sam, I’m curious if u use bases in your ready compositions… I’m not big fan of using bases bc someone made them but for things like civet, castoreum, oud I think its nice to use them. Does perfumers use bases or they are only for beginners?
This is just playing around.... if you want to build a proffesuonal perfume start studying chemistry and understand how chemicals interact. and understand how proffesional perfume is being built. Keep learning.
Hey, can you make a video about ambrocenide/norlimbanol? I really dislike it in every single scent. It’s synthetic and cheap smelling. I hate it. I feel like there’s not a lot of good information about this stuff while it’s being overused in many modern fragrances.
Hello sir good evening I am captain Mr. Noor From india I am regularly waiting for your videos regarding perfumery Sir, I am also very interested in marking new perfumes because we will soon go to an open perfume shop in india So I would like to need your help to start a perfume business with good quality along with good longagotive
I can't afford high-end perfumes like Creed Royal Oudh. Could you guide me on how to create high-quality perfumes at home, similar to Royal Oudh? What perfumery kit should I purchase to craft top-quality fragrances? Is it possible to create a premium fougère fragrance, like Roja Dove Scandal, at home? Also, please share a link where I can buy a high-quality perfumery kit.
TL;DR: No, you can't. Actually, you can do something, but I won’t tell you how. Go learn it somewhere else. A lot of words and I still don't know how much ambroxan should I add into my perfumes. At least I wouldn't know after watching this video. Filler content. Good news are that other videos of Sam include way more useful knowledge.
In the beginning he explains you can't just put in a bunch of ambroxan, so why would you want to do that? Did you not watch the video?? He literally explains it depends on your own formula. The secret is to create a Formula that smells the way you want it to AND projects AND has longevity and that takes years of study and chemical knowledge what were you expecting?
@@MavisStone-s1y I was expecting level 0/1 knowledge. Something that might give me a baseline. For example: little this in this dilution might help. Few very good examples based on popular perfume brands and what do they do to improve would be excellent. Typical formula example. Anything useful would be good. Most people watching this won’t have much/any perfume knowledge. For ex. my friend wants to buy few ingredients at most and create something that smells like berries because he loves berries. It's not exactly good video to share with him because it suggests to start lifelong studies in order to satisfy his tiny crafting needs (smell berries for longer). After all, I'm not a content creator, but I think this video is lacking.
There isn’t really a set method. You truly need to do research. For me I have found success with a stable top, mid, and base note ratios (25, 35, 40). I give myself @ 5-8% variant if I need to make adjustments. Typically I like to do an accord to help with diffusion one of my favorites is Kharismal, Timbersilk, Vermaoss, Helvitolide and Edenolide (I like this for florals and fougeres). Sam is right it’s about testing. Ambroxan and ISO E are not cure alls, they can make a scent flat and non diffusive if you don’t create a formula that incorporates your needs. There is no baseline. I recommend that you first sketch the fragrance. What do you want it to smell like, what notes do you need, determine if your notes are top, mid, base, check to see if you are using mostly naturals or synthetics. Determine if your raw materials are using a solvent like TEC or DPG, rework your formula. It’s going to take time for YOU to uncover a baseline you like to start with.
You sound like a spoiled child. You have to put in effort and time with this. You wouldn’t go to a painter and say “ tell me exactly how to paint a masterpiece!”? He’s teaching you how to fish, not handing you one on a silver platter. Now, when you’re done with your ten minutes in the corner, I would suggest looking up Ryan Parfums. He posts videos making professional formulas. It will give you great insight into how these formulas are constructed. You can kind of deduce the structure that can give you the sort of performance a retail product has, and types of materials they are using, as well as ratios.

I think a more relaxed background music / no music would work better for these videos.
This was plenty relaxed for me.

Always pleasure listning to you Sam !

Excellent video - thank you Sam, some food for thought there to add to the learning itinerary.
thank you for sharing the knowledge
Is fragrance foundry going to ship raw materials to other countries and not only to uk?
I’m working on it; hopefully soon at least for Europe

What is Rose Milk?
How does Rose Milk work?
How to use Rose Milk?
Use materials that last long. BOOOM
Can I use coal?
😂😂😂😂😂
Plastic?
Skunk for the win! 😵😵💫🤓

Inuse alot of basenotes so weird that safranal for example last less longer on skin than a mixed in perfume

I am already learning Perfumery by a Coach Babbs
Will soon eventually Buy your Course once i am over this stage
On what platform do you watch Babbs?
@RsidbeiCobwhwkf YT
Honestly, Babbs is a terrible teacher compared to Sam. Don't waste your time (or even money) on his lessons.
@@HansHase78 Hahaha let's see... I'll come to sam too
Oh this is from the perfumer's side. Was looking from the user's side.
Cool video, thanks nonetheless!
Actually there is a material that will make them last really long and project like a beast, and it’s…

did you completely ignore the video?
I legit just finished writing a script for a tiktok video about this exact topic... hahah what are the odds
whats your tiktok
Whats your tik tok, please tell me also
Nice Christmas decor 😊
Music is killing your videos
1st one to comment from Pakistan 😅
I heard a bunch of nothing
waste of 10 minutes
Thank you for sharing that fine analysis. Have you checked to see if your speakers are turned on?
@Michelle-Eden yes indeed they are .... have you past comprehension class ?
@@diabs3534 Passed? or past?
@@diabs3534if you already knew ab volatility and everything then sure this probably wasn’t very enlightening. But this is for novices.
