It is scary how these big perfume companies actually affect the world both in the economic way or pop culture moment, certain fragrances are 100 % cheap synthetics but priced relatively high and yet people still buy it, but hey it’s your money so spend it wisely these brands did nothing wrong they’re just there to provide options so choose wisely … great video btw 👍
That's vague, can you tell it is really synthetics or it's a good quality synthetic because there are low quality fragrances that smell synthetic in a bad way. How exactly do perfume companies affect the world, if a non-fraghead cannot tell a fragrance is synthetic or not then sure those companies would be what they are now.
@@EggWafflehea well most companies that makes mass marketed fragrance required to use synthetics if they would use true natural ingridient not only that it would be less sustainable for the environment but also be very costly, most of these designer fragrances are actually more synthetics, and some of them are cheaper made by the hundreds and so that is why these companies that are selling mass marketed fragrances usually would use cheaper ingridient but higher prices in order to pay for the allure of it ( advertising, campaign etc). As for the pop culture reference, simple a certain fragrance mark a certain period of time that’s why certain fragrance tends to remind them about the 70s, 80s, 90s … pop culture also are affected by the likes of chanel no 5 as it is seen by many as a cultural moment photographed by marilyn, sought after by many, painted by warhol, printed as a room decor, used as an inspiration. Celebrity perfume also affect how the world works remember when every single celeb would put out a fragrance ?britney spears’s fantasy to this day is one of the most succesfull fragrance and also it is the one that tends to link allot of people with a certain period of their life’s … angel, eternity, and so much more and lately baccarat rouge or for the male maybe aventus it might not the pop culture right away but it sneak in silently affecting people and their taste in fragrance as time goes on taste in fragrance changes and so does it affect the world certain ingridient become more favorable certain note become more prevalent or outdated … when certain ingridient are becoming more popular it becomes more sought after therefor it is planted, harvested, or synthetically mass produced … more demand more money, i.e. ambergris …
@@benedictw2050 yea there’s a big misconception on synthetics. For example, some naturals are highly volatile or highly allergenic or unsustainable to harvest. Like right now there’s actually a natural vanilla shortage because it’s used in everything from fragrance to food and over harvested. Synthetics are usually made to be more stable and less allergenic. But also the line between synthetics is kinda blurred because synthetics are derived from naturals but put through some kind of chemical process. For example clear wood comes from patchouli but stripped down but it doesn’t smell “synthetic”. So it really takes more research to determine what’s “good quality” because the skill in how the perfumer blends naturals and synthetics and which synthetics they use can play a major role.
Thanks for the honest sharing in 3:33 ! It makes a lot of sense when you say it. Definitely big designer corps need to pay for marketing, rental and operation etc. The end consumers aren't just paying for their products. I hope more people can discover your channel. Very interesting sharing!
Thanks for the mention Omar, I absolutely loved every minute of this video! This is the perfect representation of your channel, and I would love to see you go further in this direction. You're proof that one does not need to dance in a speedo to be the fragrance guy. More POWERRR to you. 😂💯
I may have learned more from this video than from months of other fragrance RUclips videos. Incredibly informative and veracious presentation. Zero dislikes as of leaving this comment, let's try to keep it that way.
9:35 that is an option but not completely necessary, as a perfumer I can say that when a mistake like that is done in a batch of oils, they can add more of the other ingredients in the formula according to the percentages given originally and the problem is fixed
congratulations on completing your perfumery course, mate. you can now truly stand by the name of your youtube channel. this video with all these intricate but interesting details was really interesting to watch.
Clone companies mainly use A.I. and Chromatography machines to break down the notes and ingredients of the original perfumes. It’s very rare for a company to rely on the nose of a skilled perfumer to generate the ingredients and the structure of the notes
I’ve been following you on TikTok for what feels like ever when you had about 10000 followers. And now that I’m searching for a replacement after my Dylan blue is empty now I’ve come here. Great to see how you’ve grown. I’ve got my eyes on Light blue intense but I’ll keep looking.
Omar thanks for answering all the questions regarding fragrances. I really learned a lot about the fragrance industry and I hope you can do this type of content once again time after time! Really appreciate your great explanations!! Thanks a lot for taking us to the fragrance industry
That was informative content. Great film! I have my designer fragrance collection and I started making my own ones by the way. My experience grows, thanks for that video
I think they're actually really cheap. For example I can buy D&G EDT for $50 all day but if I want a stinkin' D&G T-Shirt I have to pay $500 so don't tell me fragrances are expensive. Same for Givenchy, Valentino, etc.
I had a bottle of Creed Millesime Imperial back in 2013… I am waiting on my CDN Milestone to come today. Do you think or “anyone think” I am going to like it just as must or better then what I remember MI smelling like??? 🤔 FYI I also had Creed Aventus in 2013 n last year got the CDNIM EDP and will never pay Creed prices again for that frag. Do you think l will be the same way with CDN Milestone?
@@jeffbrown7790 yeah Creed scents are great but they are very expensive, i love Creed SMW and Aventus, but they are is so expensive it hurts my soul just looking at their price🤦♂️ clone fragrances are a bless to all of us.
I would imagine a 5-20,000 dollar gas chromotography/mass spectroscopy machines off of ebay or a research/university looking to upgrade are the quickest way to reverse engineer any group of chemicals you desire especially since money is involved and these greedy companies are about regurgitating blue oud and sweet scents these days. I would not leave it to a nose. Alexandria/Dua etc..probably do it that way. An industrious undergrad in chemistry could do it.
I have a perfumer question. Quick example to explain it better: I remember a situation where an artist created a bridge, but when it was finished the surface was too slippery. The museum who the bridge was made for wanted to change the surface, but the artist would not allow it. They came to an agreement in the end and the surface was changed with the artists approval. When a perfumer creates a fragrance. Do they do the reformulation as well? Their names are forever attached to the fragrance so I assume if a fragrance is changed to reduce costs, this might make the fragrance worse and I can imagine a perfumer would not be happy about that.
Perfumers are usually attached to fragrance houses like Firmenich, I imagine they would struggle to say no to brands like YSL, plus it probably means more business for them having to provide a new formulation
Talking about production cost is so unfair. It's a bit like the cost to print a masterpiece like War & Peace. Printing is cheap but the intellectual worth of the book is the real asset. We shouldn't overlook the effort and trial and error that goes into creating fragrances. I'm not sure what the actual number is, but I bet for every fragrance that makes it to the market, there are hundreds that don't make the final cut. We should stop poo-pooing big brands, saying that they make insane profits from selling fragrances. Understand that it is a competitive marketplace and good old economics will ultimately ensure that the prices are fair.
Well, it's pretty bold of you to tackle this topic considering you sell OVERPRICĒD atomisers!🥴 Also, you lied about the number of your followers both on IG and here on YT🥴
Very nice video as usual I'm gonna comment on 3 questions in this video ..the brother who asked about increasing the sense of smell,very great question,I always sleep with fragrance oils or attars around me bcs I always train my nose by smelling something then moving it a tiny bit far and continue doing that always you'll never stop and you'll actually start smelling things from very far,also try to smell as many scents as possible but before that try to put your nose on single notes single raw materials then when you smell a lot of perfumes especially when there's shared notes between this and that,you'll start remembering what that single note smelled like,there's a lot of exercises but start with these.. About clone companies actually now there's machines that can give you the formula of any scent,that's why perfumers that use real oud real ambergris real deer musk real sandalwood,it's hard if not impossible to clone their perfumes just as areej le dore bortnikoff ensar oud agar aura etc.... And a bout reformulation and discontinuation is a must this is art you can't have a perfume on shelfs for 20 years bcs real ingredients are never the same from batch to batch it's impossible even the same tree don't give you the same thing from year to year so how a fragrance is the same for years and years,so no need for reformulation like creed does I think the best thing to do is always to come up with small quantities that makes the perfumer motivated to come up with different creations even if some of them smell like some of his previous creations but he can name them differently,just my personal thoughts.
thank you so much I have learned a lot indeed. When a perfume or fragrance is released and you love it so much do yourself a favor and buy several bottles from those early batches to avoid reformulation.

Some of the bigger clone companies use gas chromatography to reveal the molecular basis of a fragrance they want to clone.
That won’t reveal the formulation, that tells you the molecules inside but not the raw materials used, although it may help slightly
@@SchoolOfScent ruclips.net/video/cwLORR06SUc/видео.html for example.

Club de nuit sillage is masterpiece
@@Sager225 sillage is 100% for you if you like silver mountain water
If they reformulate their fragrances they should lower the prices not right to Cheapen their product and sell it at the same price
How would i go about recreating a discontinued fragrance?
Now that is school of scent
Very informative. Great video. I have to see if there's a place in USA where I can take a similar course.
learned a LOT
I don't get how 1 ingredients is allowed and the next its not?. People have been using discontinued fragrances for years without any issues
Safety assessments are based on general population studies, every individual will be different of course
I would imagine a 5-20,000 dollar gas chromotography/mass spectroscopy machines off of ebay or a research/university looking to upgrade are the quickest way to reverse engineer any group of chemicals you desire especially since money is involved and these greedy companies are about regurgitating blue oud and sweet scents these days.

do they have a lot of different strands of oud you can use in this course??
Another great video
Thank you.
