BK SCENTS :)
Hi, sir,im,from Pakistan and im in philippines now basically im cook and im following u since pendamic when i lost my work due to suspension of schools i gain lot of knowledge and information from u about perfumery i watch many people's but u r the one i can understand well im always waiting ur vedio ur a good teacher sir plz upload ur video always Allah bless u and keep u safe ameen
Recently made my first fragrance that I was happy with (for my girlfriend) and your videos are primarily responsible for that so thank you!
What did you end up making? How did it smell (notes)?
@@bkscents7050 So she loves Eucalyptus, which I discovered is a very hard note to work with. It seems to either dominate everything or make every other top note really waxy smelling (I tried a few citrus notes and also pineapple with it but they all flopped). I ended up just giving into the eucalyptus completely and making a very aromatic top mid note with mint and lavender and then the base note was mainly Grosjmann with some extra sandlewood and patchouli (Used sandalore and clearwood based on your recommendations for the base notes). The base note ended up being surprisingly aquatic on the dry down because of the eucalyptus and mint I think which I quite liked. I used a little Ambrox super also because I wanted a slightly masculine note as she's not a fan of traditionally "female" perfumes. It definitely ended up quite unisex in the end. Not sure I love eucalyptus as a main note but she loves it which is all that matters really!
I love it!!
Just getting started with perfumery and so happy to find your channel and the community here!
Hey BK! Your videos are invaluable; I've learned so much from your content. The explanations you provide are easy to understand, I appreciate all the knowledge you pass along. I look forward to the video you mentioned might be released regarding recommended raw ingredients. Thanks for all you do!
Love your videos. They help me a lot, and I can't thank you enough. Please keep making these great videos. Love from Myanmar.
Amazing video bro. I been looking for this type of video for quite som time.
I love your videos, I hope you come back at some point!
Thanks a lot for your nice Video and it so much inspiring those who have a passion for Perfume Creation...Great Service.
Hello BK! Thanks for the video, it was very good for me since I'm a begginer in perfumary and I've just started to look for equipment and materials. I'm so glad I had found your videos, they are so claryfing! Thank you for that. I'll keep watching. Regards from Brazil! :)
Hope your business takes off like SR71 BLACKBIRD!!
Yes, please! "Hours and hours" recommendations videos!
wanted to create prefume with one concentrate perfume mix I found and loved . Started figuring out how to do it and then I just sink into the topic of perfumery 🙈 Looking forward to hopefully see the video about your recomendations of first raw materials to start with 🤗🤗
I really appreciate your effort to provide such valuable content! I have a question, do you have to send your final blend to the lab to approve it and then mass-produce it?
Thank you so much for this link
How do you wash your equipment (pipets, beakers etc) ?
Long time, but great content, as usual. 😄
For blending oil & alcohol, I cannot live without my magnetic stir plate (& Teflon coated stir bars).
I didn't mention a magnetic stirring plate because I thought that might be a little too advanced for a beginner's video, lol
0:25 I ordered someone of your inspired body sprays and your version of Tom Fords and Sauvage elixir is amazing.
I have been watching your videos pretty much non stop lately, very informative and well done.
I'm looking to get started creating by the summer, as for right now just doing my homework and making lists of what I want to aquire before diving in
I had a question about the glassware(beakers,funnels,pipettes etc...) what is the best way to wash them.
Worried about cross contamination (oils,soaps)
Also one more question when it comes time that I would like to try my hand in creating a brand and sell my product what things do I have to do legally (insurance,safety standards etc.. Now I'm sure it changes based on where you live I would assume
I am in Canada)
Thank you and hope to hear from you
Something I'd like to add to regarding scales. I have the same scale you use (same looks at least). But I do notice I need to turn my scale on and wait a few hours before I can use it. Because it needs to stabilize. After calibrating, after a few hours I notice it at -1 grams. But after that it stabilizes.
I'm not sure why, might be because of passive low ventilation happening in my home. But I've seen people leave bad reviews about accuracy on scales, while all they need is to let it "warm up" to get more accurate readings.
Hello BK, first off thanks for the great informative video. I’m gonna try that brand of filter paper, because the last time I bought a pack of filter papers it messed up a formula in that some ingredient material was left behind in the paper. And I don’t mean impurities I’m referring to actual ingredients that the formula outcome was changed. I even poured perfumers alcohol to “cleanse the paper 🤦🏻♂️. Anyway I’m rambling, lol thanks for advise.
Watman #1....you can't go wrong with it
Incredibly helpful! could you recommend some must-have essential oils for beginners? Thank you
Upside down strips I am questioning the utility of this instruction - joke it’s a joke - this channel is awesome
Hi BK! Your videos are so incredibly helpful. Thank you :) I finished a week course in perfumery in the UK but still had a few questions. I was wondering; when it comes to raw materials, from what I understand they need to be diluted. Besides IFRA, is there any other place where I could get information on the minimum amount of dilution any given material requires? (In my head I imagine a lovely website that has all the materials listed, and the percentage of dilution required in a simple format). So far the IFRA one I found is making my head hurt.
thank you so much sir
Will you be creating videos anytime soon.
Your videos are very helpful.
I think its time to play for those guitars for us!
i got question that always stuck on my mind whats the difference between dpg and alcohol and carrier oil ?
plus when should i add distilled water to my perfume ?
btw tysm your videos really helped putting me out of my misery
Do you have any other social platforms we can follow you on? Absolutely loving your videos.
Thanks for the knowledge, Now where to buy the oils-how do i promote- market and start doing this as a business?
Hello, BK! Have same question as @Filip Galen
How do you wash your equipment (pipets, beakers etc) ? Do you use soap, soda, vinegar? If we reuse glass pipets, how can we remove odour of previous substance?
Sir,one request to u plz start rewew aroma chemical again thanx
Hey BK Scents.
First of all thank you very much for your interestening and informative content!
I was wondering if there is any way to get in touch with you personally?
Thank you very much!
Bastian
Hello Friend looking rock star , hope you’re doing good ❤
I’m starting and your videos are amazing for me because I am 20 and I want to be perfumer, bit I have a question. All your materials are diluted in Alcohol? Or you use another solvent? Sorry for my english, I al spanish.
Awesome content BK! How do you clean your glass droppers? I feel bad about using plastic ones, but I feel like cleaning glass droppers is much extra work! I dont have a dishwasher. Any tips?
I have an ultra sonic cleaner which can hold about 50 pipettes at a time. I can set it for 30min and let the machine do the work for me.
This is the one I got:
2L Ultrasonic Cleaner with Digital Timer and Heater, Professional Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner for Denture, Coins, Daily Necessaries, Lab Tools, Metal Parts, Carburetor, Brass, Auto Parts, etc a.co/d/6UvWU0a
@@bkscents7050 can I use home dishwasher (same I use for dishes)?
Hi! This question just popped in my mind whilst watching your video and I was wondering if there are fragrances or scents that are safe for pregnant women and children below 5 years of age? Thank you!
Sayın bk kokuya hassas oldugum icin bu işe merak saldım.turkiyeden selamlar ve teşekkürler.
I use a ton of toilet paper sheets with my pipettes I fold 2 sheets in half and lay my pipettes on their in front of my bottles. I burn through plastic pipettes as well, and it does feel a bit bad. Knowing I am using so much darn plastic
I was disappointed when I heard, that the big companies create some of their new scents on a computer first, and then, they check if it smells good and make changes if necessary.
You shouldn't be disappointed, it's the truth.
I was told the same thing when I have visited Grasse
Hello and thanks for the great information. I was curious how you go about cleaning your pipettes and other lab glassware. What detergent (if any) do you use and do you rinse them with distilled water and/or perfumer's alcohol after they've been rinsed in tap water?
For glass beakers...I just use simple dish soap and tap water. Glass pipettes however are a bit more tricky...for that I use an ultrasonic cleaner and use a special blend of cleaner with tap water inside the ultrasonic bucket
@@bkscents7050 thanks for the reply. Special blend? Have you tried Alcanox? 🤔
I actually make my own home made blend....just a few drops of dish soap (not enough to make the cleaner create bubbles) and a splash of orange oil degreaser (like a tablespoon)......and the rest is just water and the agitation of the since vibrations. Works fine for me :)
@@bkscents7050please make a video about this. Im so curious.
Hey man! A question that I have is, once you weigh out the different components, how do you then convert say 10g of a particular thing into 10ml? Ie how do you make a 100ml bottle from just the weight in grams? Is it 1:1? Thanks man!
Hello BK do you if there is a machine that automatically dispense the oil. Something you can program to dispense a set amount of drops?
Question. After we mix our fragrance compound and allow it to mascerate Should we allow it to mascerate again once we mix it with our carrier solutions such as perfumer's alcohol ?
Hello, I'm watching the videos, but there is a problem, I would be very happy if you add the Turkish option as a subtitle, thank you very much in advance 😂
please review your own perfume or let someone else review it so we can find out the SPL. it will help us choose the materials to use. i am new to perfumery BTW. thank you for helping me a lot with the video you made.
Hey Brian, may I ask what percentage of animalic notes (eg. Civettone) do I use in my perfume to get animalic as one of my main accords?
I haven't tried civettone yet. But when dealing with any of my "civet" materials that I do have.....it's always in traces and no more than 1/1000 of the full fragrance formula. Don't rely just on one single material as a "main accord". Pair it with muscenone, muscone or an animlic musk......and perhaps some Tonquitone (if you dare)
This might be a beginner question, but for example, is 10mg of a material diluted to 10%, the same as 1mg of the same material undiluted at 100%? Or does different dilutions give materials different effects when adding to a blend, even if the quantity is adjusted to match the concentration percentage?
Because when replicating formulas, I would sometimes adjust all the material quantities based on 10% dilutions, since I usually have my materials diluted at 10%
Thanks in advance!
Hello. don't we need use glycerine? Thanks for you video
Great video. Quick question. I am new to perfumery and wanted to know Is it possible for me to add trace
amounts of actual drinkable real Rum and Whiskey in my fragrance concentrates?
No,it will explode and turn your hair green.
hi im interested to become a perfumer but the problem its that i dont know nothing about perfumery and about chemistry , i just love so much to create perfume , its there skills that you can be perfumer without any graduation in chemistry ?
Thanks for your lessons.
I have a question good sir, how do I dilute a prediluted material ? lets say I'm trying make a 1% dilution from (eugenol 50%). is there a mathematical law to follow ?
Could you pls tell best alcohol base perfumery compound
I want to make a 10% dilution from my 50% benzoin...what percentage is it if I do that?
What size Boston bottle do you use?
Hello sir.
I need your help.
I make Perfume impressions with perfume oil and alcohol.
But facing projection issues.
Can you tell me how to increase projection time. I'll be thankful to you
Can someone share the book of perfumery practice and principles pdf to me
What website do you buy your alcohol from?
Please don't stop posting new videos 😢
Can u please put a link to the scale
Where can a person find that scale? I can't fins one
Do you make custom scents for people?
When do i add water to it?
Hi, wanted to ask how many parfumes have u made till now, and are ur parfumes for sale.
Thanks, love your videos. Ever made a Gorilla fur accord? 🦍
Lol....I don't know if you are being serious or not...lol. I've never been asked this before 😂 but no, I've never made that accord....I don't even know what gorillas smell like....I'm very intrigued now...
@@bkscents7050 I am planning on making a scent based on Donkey Kong Country. Bananas, Jungle, Barrels, Gorilla Musk. Apparently they smell like humans with less offensive BO due to their vegetarian diet. Also some notes of feces because poo and fur don’t mix well.
Omg...this sounds so creative! Do let us know how it progresses!
Lol, that's interesting
You said 3 zeros after the . But the scale recommended is 0.001, was that midwording or am I misunderstanding ?
It’s the same thing. He meant 3 digits after the decimal point
Hi! I have a question. can I mix the fragrance oil and essential oil?
You can mix "aroma chemicals" and essential oils, yes. But if you are referring to "fragrance oil" as the stuff you buy that's a premade full perfume in a bottle, no. Those are not suitable for perfumery
@@bkscents7050 Got it po. Thank you
Hi all,
I would like to learn what each perfume's note smells like. Although it is expensive to buy perfume oil, can I buy regular Essential Oils and learn what each note smells like? Since I am a perfume reviewer, not a perfume maker, what do you think?
You could go to an in person perfumery workshop or open house and smell the ingredients there
Where can I order the raw materials in the USA

Hello Sir, Can we keep the chemicals for the perfumes in Plastic Bottles or Pet Bottles ? is there any special items to be kept only in Glass bottles ? please reply
Sir, how i become a professional perfumer??
Stand on your head for 20 minutes every night and eat a lot of oysters on toast.
I brough Dior Sauvage EDP formula from creative formulas Website. If anyone interested, I would like to Exchange formulas, this formula contains 59 materials.

Hi BK. Nick here. Been on this journey for the past few years. Would you even consider 1-on-1 via email/phone? Nick (& Robbie) SLC, Utah.
Do you have twitter or instagram so I can ask you some questions I’m kind of just starting out
