  • Here we will dissect a public demonstration formula, to learn what makes it tick, why it was built the way it was, and also some things to do to it to tweak it into different facets so you can LEARN YOUR MATERIALS. Its a helpful way to experiment, test certain unknown materials you may have, or see how certain materials react in a blend and what subtle (or major) facets they can bring when experimenting.

    I've been watching your videos in between recording and mixing sessions for a cover song I've been working on. I just got to the part of your video where you said "Stop copying other people" as I've been sitting here all day trying to recreate a mix of a song that I love, all while I had a perfect mix of my own already.
    This is a mentality to carry all through-out any creative passion. Your advice not only helped me with my music, but it's helping to set the foundation for my journey into perfumery.

      As a musician I understand. When I used to mix my songs, I would play a Chris Lord Alge playlist, and try to balance mine like his. But at the end of the day, it wasn't making my music any better....it just was lumping it into something someone has already sonically heard before and wasn't creatively my own. If you want to succeed, you have to do something that hasn't been done before.

    Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I would very much appreciate a video that specifically addresses ways to increase the longevity of the perfume. I know you've done videos about musks and some fixatives, and they were really helpful, but I wondered if there are other ways or other compounds that can be used to make scents longer-lasting?
    I have made some beautiful scents that I'm really happy with, but even though I've added galaxolide, Iso E Super, hedione, etc., I have a lot of trouble getting the scent to last more than an hour or so. I imagine that is a very common beginner's problem...I also imagine it's a common "veteran's" problem, too, because commercial scents seem to have that problem often as well... Thanks!

    • @alethink5492
      @alethink5492 Před 2 lety

      This is a problem of all yes. I think this: you have know and add also all that single molecules that are ok for your blend and one after one will increase again and again, or I don't know.

    • @bkscents7050
      @bkscents7050  Před 2 lety +1

      longevity has to do with choice materials that.....wait for it....last a long time, lol. But its a balancing act of these long lasting materials, with the "not so long lasting" materials that make up a complete perfume. If you make a formula using nothing but musks, woods, resins, etc...your gonna get a very long lasting scent, but that scent wont project at all because most long lasting scents sit closer to the skin. Its the top/mid material that usually do the projecting. Again, its a balancing act of a lot of materials in the top/mid/base and there is no real way to answer this because this problem is a case-by-case basis depending on what materials where used in the full perfume formula. There is no "one trick solves all" in this issue. The whole formula has to carefully thought out in all stages from beginging....to drydown.

      I can see, now, why even commercial perfumers may not produce a long-lasting fragrance since, as you explained, the problem becomes "case by case," depending on the materials used and the balance between them.
      Okay, I am going to continue with this new knowledge, but now if I continue to struggle with this, at least I know I'm in good company. :)

    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%

      Well, in this demo formula....the formula is displayed in the video description for those who use raw materials (and there's a section of DPG to show total dilutants so the formula totals 1000). But in all honesty, anyone can work this formula as intended with any material being prediluted at any level they like.

    • @bkscents7050
      @bkscents7050  Před 2 lety +1

      I always just bought 10-15ml samples to start with to familiarize myself with it. Then on the next purchase, I'd buy bigger quantities depending on if I found myself using it a lot....or sparingly/randomly. Some items I now buy 200-500g of....and some I only buy 4ml of if it's super strong and needs to be heavily diluted before use. This is something you will eventually learn once you start using the materials and know what a proper doseage would be of that material.

      The "best" aromas are carefully blended and well thought out formulas, regardless of what material types were used. Although I'm not a fan of 100% pure natural perfumes, some people enjoy them. I think the term "the best" is in the eye of the beholder (or nose smelling it) and very subjective to the individual. But me personally, i use a lot of synthetics, but also tuck in some naturals here and there. i like using the best of both worlds

    • @bkscents7050

      You could. I pre-dilute all my materials for use of my "trial/test formulations" for easier dosing in small test batches and to save money on my many, many, many of failed trial attempts, lol. But its important to know that you need to also keep your materials raw/neat as well. So if you come up with a winning formula using your pre-diluted materials...you can then recreate that same formula using the raw materials at full strength and create a master concentrate of your formula. You can then take your master concentrate and make many perfumes with it and dilute it to whatever concentration you like.

    Could you please do a material spotlight on vanilla… vanilla is so hard to get right and I’d love to know how to do it… in a novel or non conventional way…. I love vanilla but the way it normally smells is overwhelming and sometimes sickening. I recently smelled this soap that was lily and vanilla planifolia extract and it smells fresh and fruity and full, not like I’ve ever smelled vanilla… not remotely sickening… soft and silky….I’d love to know how it could be approximately replicated….

    • @bkscents7050
      @bkscents7050  Před 3 lety

      Vanilla can be tricky, cause its pretty potent! For the most part, my go-to vanilla materials will be vanillin powder, ethyl vanillin or isobutavan. But for the most part you have to dose these low at first to truly understand their power. If you are familiar with traditional perfume formulas and ratios, try using just vanillin powder at 5 parts per 1,000 in a full perfume formula to gauge what a lower dose would smell like. It should sweeten up the whole perfume in a discrete way. And then if its not sweet enough....try the same formula again with vanillin at 10 parts per 1,000 to understand the difference of its dosage.

Specifically this is the scent of a soap, it has no corresponding fragrance that I’ve ever smelt. But whenever I smell that soap on my hands I just keep thinking…. I wish this was a perfume, I’d buy a million of them. And then I wonder to myself what if I could recreate this, maybe mess with it a little, try different lily scents….etc. Add caramel, coffee, marshmallow?

    I would like to know: it's ok if I buy almost all in 2 ml 100% format? Or its too much a little bit and I need more?
    I was think this because: diluting all at 10% they will become 20 ml, and (maybe) it's enough, or not? I don't want to make error. So it's better if I order less but with more ML format or can be ok 2ML 100%? Many thanks
