Thanks for the video, very helpful. Appreciate what you do and love how you walk us through the process. I'm a budding amateur perfumer and find this fascinating. ❤
Thanks for upload Dave, maybe one day there will be Smell'O'Vision then i'll be able to smell along whilst you're making these wonderful scents! Another great video...I've noticed your subscriber number has gone up and long may it continue!!
Really like your videos! Anf of course the way you explain everything we should know...do you do this as a hobby or did you start it to have an buiness one day?
Sir, out of the topic of the video i would like to know your opinion on cade oil as a substitute for birch tar oil, is it less smoky? Would be better for a more modern, kind of realistic leather? How could one create a russian leather with old, aged, animalic sweat - on leather facets? Greetings
Do you age the blend 1st and then add it to a carrier oil (then age that)? Can you instantly add to a carrier, then age it together? Or do you add oils to a perfumer's alcohol, to bring it up to volume? I hear some who use only oils; then some who use Perfumer's Alcohol too. Thank you
I age only the UNDILUTED formula. I use perfumers alcohol. IPM is another kind that can be used or a blend of the two. I ONLY use oil as a carrier for roll-on perfume. When making a spray fragrance I NEVER use a carrier oil. Thanks for asking!!! Dave
I recently found some of your videos and subscribed. I've been trying to do some research on how to make cologne. I'm confused about what to add the oils to. I bought everclear because that's what seems to be a popular choice for the alcohol. But I'm not sure if I should add water or carrier oil or go with just alcohol. Everybody says something different do I don't know what the best method is. Also, I don't know how many drops of oil to use to make a cologne or toilette. I bought 2oz spray bottles to experiment with. What do you recommend? I hope you are able to help me. Thank you.
@@DenverDave Thank you. I actually made two colognes over the weekend. One smells more like perfume so I'm going to work on it and try to make it more for women. Lol. I just used everclear and essential oils. Nothing else. Should I halve added anything else to it? Also I don't think they are very strong. I used about 75 drops of essential oil in each 2oz bottle. I dont have a scale so I don't know the percentage. Does that sound right to you? I want to make something that will last at least 6 hours after spraying but I can't even smell them while wearing them like the colognes I buy.
If you have a atlas Cedarwood, one way to make it smoother is to age it. It is one of the materials that you can age. I am aging some that is now about four years old but I am not going to use it until year 10. It is for the exact reason that you stated that I am aging this material. I find it a little harsh and only use it in very minute amounts. Dave
What you said about cedars is the opposite of true. True cedars are of the genus Cedrus. Atlas cedar (C. atlantica) is a true cedar. Junipers and thujas are also called cedars but are not true cedars. I think people in North America get this confused because we don't have true cedars; they're native to parts of Asia, the Mediterranean, and North Africa.
I appreciate hearing your impression of the scents. Details. It helps me decide what to spend money on.
You get so excited about the scents you love!

Really like your videos! Anf of course the way you explain everything we should know...do you do this as a hobby or did you start it to have an buiness one day?

Are you using all of your materials at full strength?
No, but a few of them I do like Hedione or Iso E Super. Dave
👍👍
@Mountain Aromatics Hi Dave...how can i contact you?... i'd like to purchase the sweet tobacco

Perfumers Alcohol is best but everclear will work until you can get some. Cologne is between 5-8% that is the formula you make.

@@ToxikPizza you can use some vetiver or/and...sandalwood, patchouli, frankincense, myrrh, ho wood, geranium rose, etc. These can help. Dave
Are you creating from 100% or have they been diluted?
Where would I go to get the essential oils to make cologne?
Eden botanicals
I’m from the south and now live in Wisconsin....your from the south, how did you get to Colorado?
I miss my Southernness. 😲
I always said I was going to move to Denver. I came here because I hate the humid heat. LOL! Dave
Is that oil for jus a roll on or u will add jus perfumer alcohol or more other kinds of alcohol n ingredients into complete perfume?
The cool thing is, you can do either. You can make it a roll-on or add perfumers alcohol. Both are complete fragrances.
@@DenverDave is there any difference with perfumer alcohol n ethanol alcohol? Cos I wanna find a formula to make an Extrait from a perfume oil.
good morning sir, can ask you that from where do you buy all these Pure Essential Oils, thanks
Mostly from Eden Botanicals and CreatingPerfume.com
رائع
👍👍👍👍👍💯
Thank you! Dave
I’m not a big fan of the animalic side of the atlas cedar

Your are right, VA and TX cedarwoods are in the Juniper family. Thank you for being here!!! Dave
