BK SCENTS :)
Can you please quit your day job and just make perfumery videos for us all day? 😁
LOL>...I WISH
Great video! Thank you so much!
Every time I watch one of your videos I’m always pausing to take notes and make orders at PA.
I love your videos, you're awesome! I like when you describe the notes of the oils you're using. I think it helps a lot of people here discover new oils. Thank you for the great videos. Keep it up 👍🏼
Your videos like this are my favorite, really helpful for learning about different materials I haven't tried yet and find one's I'd like to get from your recommendations.
Really impressive how over the years humans have compiled soo much information to bring us to this point of such beautiful science
Hey! I LOVE real Ambergris! It's the lovliest scent I've ever smelled! Especially in real sandalwood, it's like heaven!
Love your videos....and I must say I was impressed with the lightsaber collection too!
hes baaaaaaaack! thank god. been jonzing for my BK fix
It took me a while.....maybe that's why this video is 1-1/2 hours long.....making up for lost time 🤣
Very glad to see you again...
Wow, I had no idea a fragrance has so many ingredients. Being a perfumer takes much knowledge!
Your videos have been a tremendous help getting my fragrance line up and running. I didn't see a way to direct message you, but I have a few questions about dilution if you wouldn't mind answering. Thank you so much for all your invaluable video tutorials! So happy to see you back on here, man!
I try not to share my person contact info. But if you ask me here, I could answer it
Totally understandable! I made 12 different perfumes, but after wearing each one, they last maybe 2-3 hours (some more than others). I find that I may have the dilution ratios off. Is there an online source that shows what each note should be diluted to? Thanks in advance, BK!
@@Dreamscaper4EVER How much basenotes do you have in terms of percentage?
I'm going to start exploring all the different patchouli materials other than essential oils soon and I can't wait. Its probably in my top 3 favorite smells. Got a list going of all the one's I want to order and try.
Hi, glad to see you back. I may be wrong but I seem to remember in a previous walkthrough you worked from base notes to top notes. I’d be nervous that my smaller molecule ingredients would start evaporating if I introduced them so early in the mix.
me too - its confused - maybe he did it before the youtube video
Methyl Octine Carbonate is another good one, gets used a lot in aquatic fragrances
Thank you for this video. Great knowledge💯👍
Finally another video. thank you.
Only a year later.....I finally made one!
Thanks for the upload! Excited you are back. A video idea: one's pipette game and whether one should step it up. As someone in their first year of DIY, I use plastic, and for each material I keep it in a sealed ziplock for reuse. But how often should I replace them? Should I just transition to glass if I plan on doing this for years? If I use glass, do I use a dishwasher? Etc. I think a lot of us DIY wonder about this stuff.
You can reuse plastic pipettes, but only for a very short term....like maybe a week or 2. Aroma chems and natural oils actually break down plastic, so if you let a used pipette sit for too long...you'll notice the plastic start to look funny. I personally don't use plastic ....as I feel it's a waste of money to use it once and throw it away. With my glass pipetes I either let them soak in rubbing alcohol for 24 hours and then rinse off with hot water....or I use my ultrasonic cleaner machine.
Good to see ya! Great video!
Thanks Casey!! 😁😁
Just to help with the di-hydro myrcenol pronunciation (you got it right one time in this video actually). It’s myrhh-sin-all. Love the videos and happy to see you back!
I have such a hard time trying to pronounce these materials.....half of these I own (450+) I can barely pronounce, lol. I feel silly on these videos trying to speak something 🤣
you are back!!!!!!, hope everything fine for you. Love your channel
I love Vertofix, which I made a nice green perfume with it in high amounts.
I like MUSC scent!
Thanks for sharing 😊😍🥰
😁😁😁😁
Keep making vidéos bro ! youre like unique in this thx
Love the lightsabers :) May the force be with you!
excellent video your comments are very accurate and educational 👏👏👏
Thank you sir!! 😁
Welcome BACK!!!
Thank you ☺️☺️☺️☺️
YSAMBER K (SYMRISE) @ 59:00; Lilytol is from Bedoukian, high cis of Mayol (Firmenich) and Meijiff (IFF) @ 1:09:00; and Strawberriff (IFF) from Perfumer Supply House @ 1:14:47 Figured I'd list it for you since I was checking my database to see what I had in stock, the Straberriff I didn't have but it sounds like it will add some complexity. Thanks for all the info on your build and talking to your experience with different notes, I'm going to give it a go for practice and try a few tweaks from your core build.
Love me some Ysamber K
Thank you for this amazing channel and videos. As a fresh starter, may i ask you how the scents are not flying or fading away while you talk and drop? How do you preserve their smell/scent/aroma while mixing? Isnt the top of the pouring bottle open?
hi good to see you again your video very help full fo me
Your videos are great
Could you please do a video on your most recommended Aroma Chemicals? I’m getting into making perfume now and I’m wanting to learn about even more materials but I know I want my fragrances to be on the more simplistic side that doesn’t use a ton of materials. However, I do want to learn more about the best or most used and functional aroma chemicals that’s used in perfumery
This is a good idea of a video..ill have to do this one soon :)
Would still love to see your process for actually coming up with a formula. Literally how you make a perfume from scratch, how you do your 1st blends. Would be so helpful. :)
I'm pretty sure I made a video on that already. But I may have to film another on someday
@@bkscents7050 Which ones that? I def haven't seen one where you are starting at zero (before you even have a formula or have done any reformulations etc). It's this that I'm still unsure of the best method of
He did it’s called
“Perfumery Basics: Visualize, Plan & Approach Your Fragrance Blend”
Ooh excited to watch. Been binge watching your videos and recently ordered some ACs, still waiting on my scale and stuff.
Question, have you messed with clove bud EO? Gonna try it out soon as my base middle note and wondering if you had experience with it.
I've not messed with clove bud oil. But I would think I would dilute that down to 1-5% for use....I'm willing to bet it's potent! I'm wondering if it's high in Eugenio....
@@bkscents7050 according to GSC it's 82% eugenol! Since eugenol is 2.5% IFRA restricted I've put my Clove bud EO at 3% restrictuon in finished product.
But recommended use is 6% in concentrate which is far lower than that
Yeah I kinda figured as much. Im willing to bet it's very strong to. I'd probably does it at like a nuance and keep it around 1-3 parts per thousand in a formula for started and see how it works from there
Hi gud to see u again thaks for the video
Clove is super prominent when the blend is first done, but surprisingly it will mellow out into the blend.
You're very knowledgeable! I love watching how different Perfumers work on their craft 😁⚗️ Great video. You gained new Subscriber ✌🏼
so I have some questions for you. I am still lost on the percentage vs drops. what if I was doing a simple design like a cologne copy.
Yeeeessss!!! Hellooooo
Awwwwe did ya miss me?!
@@bkscents7050 I missed you ! 😘
Is there a good resource or video of yours you could recommend on reading/constructing perfume formulas? I'm just starting out and am a little lost on how to make sense of mixing ingredients with different dilutions etc :)
I love tuscan leather
what's your suggestion on a mixture to make something similar with a pineapple vintage accord
I've been enjoying your videos. What is your day job? How did you get into perfumery?
Glad you are back :D. Can you tell me one thing about washing glass pipets. When you wash them in the liquid that you previously mentioned in one video, after washing do you pour out that liquid, or do you keep it for a another batch?
Nowadays I'm using an ultrasonic cleaning machine. But in the old days I would let them soak in a mason jar full of water and rubbing alcohol for 24 hours, and then rinse them off with normal hot water. I would reuse that mason jar full of cleaner for about 4-5 times untill I notice it's starting to become slightly cloudy. At that point I change the cleaning solution
i had same question but forgot to ask. thank you!
how much was the ultrasonic cleaner you purchased? i might want to uprgrade in near future
I got this one: 2L Ultrasonic Cleaner with Digital Timer www.amazon.com/dp/B089RCPRZ9/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_47EDSAKAQ2WNW4TS6EPX?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Do you have online course about making perfume? I mean something like online class on Udemy? I wanna learn the fundamental but in more structured way. Thanks for the videos 😁
I have a question how do you make them last long like a purchased one is it depends on how much alcohol you use ??
Thanks!!!
Been a long time mate, was wondering if anything had happened. Welcome back!
Nothing happened....I just went back to work full time after the pandemic lightened up and had a hard time trying to find the time to do videos. But all is well.....I hope I can find time to make more
Hi, my question is if I can buy cheap colognes and add some of this oils?
@bkscents7050 I recently obtained your spreadsheet - Thank You - Can you explain how tinctures work on adding them to perfumes and what strength to use? I seen a vanilla video saying 18g of beans to 50g of alcohol? Trying to tincture some since absolute is so expensive - Thanks
Hi
How are you ?
Welcome back sir
Thank you! ☺️☺️☺️☺️ All is well!
Sir i want to know
Where can I get the perfumer ingredients
I buy mine from perfumersupplyhouse.com, Liberty naturals.com or perfumers apprentice.com
Any recommendations for a beginner's scale?
I love you man .
I'm from iran .
❤🎉
@10:48 I live by the ocean. Rotten barnacles definitely have a halitosis kind of odor... I wonder if this would be useful at low concentrations? I wonder if there's a connection?
We missed you long time hope you are well
All is well! It took me a while...but I'm still here and made a video finally! 🤣
do you have a recommendation on where i can get a recipe for an accord ?
I'm curious if, when testing versions of a formula you're working on, whether or not you all dilute the test sample down to roughly EDT or EDP levels before letting it sit for a day or two
Yes, I add ethyl alcohol to the small trial sample and bring it down to about 10% etd concentration and let that sit for 2 days before smelling it.
Is there a book that you would recommend for a beginner! I have always been interested in doing my own perfume but need a good starter guide of the gist of things!
I actually don't have any perfumery books. I did most of my learning by trial and error and using my materials over, and over, and over, and over again....until i got the hang of them for each and every material i own. But one book I do have on order which i think will be a fascinating book is "Scent & Chemistry: The Molecular World of Odors" - www.amazon.com/Scent-Chemistry-Molecular-World-Odors/dp/3527348557
Where can I purchase all these materials?
Good luck in your life sir .
I love you ❤️
Wow I had no idea Hedione HC can change to regular Hedione like that. Good to know! I only have a sample of it atm but have been keeping it in my perfuming mini fridge anyway.
Thanks
Hi there is a plenty material I didn’t able to find it out in market where can I find it
Even if I have how long time in every group
Of materials Basic M or Top nots enough
Time to blender before adit one over other
Are these materials diluted or are you adding them neat? Sorry if I missed that in the beginning. Thank you
On these smaller trial batches, I always use pre diluted materials
Hello I am a perfumer and I have a question bro, I have had hard times making my fragrances last long. So apart from the fixative what else to I need to add in my juice to give my fragrances longevity?
There are a few things that you can add in my experience, try different “modifiers” like benzyl salcylate, linalool, ethyl linalool, floralozone, iso e super, etc etc alot of these have certain nuances like linalool has a citrus aspect, so adding maybe trace amounts may improve you tops, benzyl salicylate has a floral aspect etc etc
In addition to what Amazon said, you have to get an objective nose too. It’s easy to become nose blind to this. We are blasting our nose with straight scents, then once it’s done constantly smelling it.
Have someone else wear it for the day and smell them, or do opposite and see if they can smell it on you.
When my wife wears something I’ve made I can smell it on her for hours, but on me it’s “gone” in 15 minutes.
R u going to add alcohol in the end?
Hi BK my name is Nikhil, from India.
This video is such a knowledgable video for the upcoming perfumers like me.
If you dont mind can you explain how to get the formula values in the formula column .
i have been searching for these in your all videos but i didn't get it anywhere.
what i mean is how do you take those values out of 1000.
Like Ambroxan 14/1000.
How to get those values.
can u please explain it.
Thanks by the way.
And what do you mean by those values.
how to use those values in respective to grams or drops.
Parts per thousand is like a ratio. So if you're making 10 grams of this perfume and he says use 4/1000 of a material in this video, that means use 40. Because if you're filling a 10g bottle, it becomes 40/10,000. To get really small amounts, for example 0.005 into the formula, you can predilute things. Fill a 10g bottle with 0.1g of raw material and 9.9g of alcohol/carrier/diluent, you now have a 1% dilution. So when you add a little of it into a formula, it's going to be less than 1% of that material
fragrances by big companies undego many safety tests before they reach the stores. How do you know that a fragrance you make at home is safe , non toxic to use on skin?
Hi! How do you effectively clean the glass pipettes after use so no contamination happens?
Stubborn materials that get stuck I usually drop the pipette into a jar full of rubbing alcohol and let it sit in there for 24 hours. And after that I have an ultrasonic cleaner when I can clean 100+ pipettes at a time.
How do you determine what should be the strength of the final fragrance? Do I go with a EDT or an EDP?
It actually just up to your personal preference, people tend to gravitate towards edp’s bc they last “longer” and its the new “trend”, edps may last longer bc oil concentrate is slightly higher, but they tend to sit closer to the skin, edt’s however tend to be more have more “sillage” from the higher evap process of the higher alcohol ratio. So its really all up to you
Hello, how are you, brother
Are there any sites that sell perfume formulas?
Thanks for this video, I got an idea of how perfumes are made. Please, can you tell me which model of scale you use, I want to buy an identical one

@@bkscents7050 i love you man
I have a question where a good place is to buy these oils. I know there are tons of sights but the real question where's the best place is to buy good oil for discounted price. as you said in a few videos there some oils that are just expensive.
Ive used perfumers apprentice religiously, good prices, good stock, although i like co2’s for my fruits from robertet, and they seem to be limited in that aspect
Thanks for the formula! This feels like a silly question but how do you convert the parts per thousand into the actual weight? How are you pipetting 9/1000 for Allyl Amyl Glycolate for instance?
I really want to know this too I think he should really do a video on this because it sounds important to know this although it sounds advanced. It doesn’t sound beginner at all
You simply decide how much you want your total concentrate to be. For example I will make a sample of 5g grams. If I have something that is 28 parts per 1000 jn the formula, I divide 5g by 1000 and multiply by 28. So in this case I have 0.14 grams of my material.
@@hiiammoot so you’re not including the alcohol right? Right now I’m making 10ml samples so that’s 10g and it’s going to be 30% concentration so that’s 3g so I should do 3 divided by 1000 and then multiply whatever to get my parts per thousand for each material right? Or do I divided 10 by 1000 since 10g is the weight of a sample that’s 10ml (including alcohol)? I’m not sure which number to divide by 1000
@@hiiammoot when you get a chance could you please reply to my question?
@@502fragrances8 to my understanding it should be dividing the 3g. Also 10ml are not necessarily 10g, don't forget that
spilled a drop of amber xtreme in my organ and my wife lost her shit. might have been a little more than a drop. then i cleaned it with rubbing alcohol. my entire apt stunk. i explained my mess up and she allowed me to keep my organ in our guest room of our apt. lmfao. things have been fine ever since. but she made me get rid of the amber xtreme just to appease her. explained to her that i now need to reorder it since she realized it was an accident and she cooled down. shits not cheap either. good thing i dont need much.
Ha! Yes very strong. I made a blend with it full strength when I first got it, and ah man couldn’t get rid of smell. My wife still wears it, but I can’t stand it.
I tried again with a 10% dilution and it works in very small dilutions.
LOL, i keep my AmberXteme at a 1% solution (for trial batches) and a 10% solution, for larger perfume run batches. I almost never go above 5-6 parts per 1,000 of this stuff in a formula! I usually stick around 1-2 ppt
@@bkscents7050 cant wait to get some more in my organ and try again. hopefully i dont mess up and spill more. smh
@@Perfumery_by_Sabin if you like AmberXtreme, you should get your hands on Ambrocinide. Its another woody-amber powerhouse material much like amberxtreme, but its a touch spicy and has warm oud facets.
Hi I love all your videos but where I can buy the perfume alcohol thank so much
I buy mine from (in the USA) PerfumersApprentice.com, CreatingPerfumes.com, or SaveonScents.com
You have fórmulas of perfume Invictus.
How to commercialized your own Perfume? Have you need a legalized laboratory? Which certification do you need and how do that
No legal laboratory, but if you want to “commercialize” a fragrance i suggest you send it out to a private lab to make sure it meets ifra specifications, certain parts of the world wont allow it to be imported or sold without it.
hi, will u plz write the farmulas on the screen
Hey Man! I see that you're formula is out of 1000 grams! When you are actually formualting with the materials in the video though, what is your formula out of? I imagined you took the weight you were working with in the video and scaled it up to 1000 no?
are there any frags you can make just starting that dont require an insane amount of ingredients? something with like 5-10 notes total?
I definitely think so at least I would hope so
its possible, but you would have to rely on pre-made bases to get this done. For a simplistic formula of 10-11 materials or less, I would grab the go-to essentials and then toy around with ideas/materials in a direction you want to in:
1) Galaxolide Musk
2) Iso E Super
3) Hedione HC
4) Citrus oil of your choice (Lemon oil, Orange oil, Bergamot oil, etc)
5) Clean Floral Muget Blending material of your choice (Florosa, Lilytol, Lilial, Mayol, etc)
6) A Floral base of your choice (Rose Givco, Jasmine Base (Firmenich)/Sampaquita Base, Floral Essential O, etc
7) Something Green of your choice (cis-3-hex, triplal, liffarome, galbanum, galbex)
8) Something Woody of your choice (Bacdanol, Cedarwood oil, Amberwood material, etc
9) Something fruity of your choice (Ally Amyl Glyco, fructone, fructalate, paradisimide, prunella, casiss base, etc)
10) X-Factor material of your choice (AmberXtreme, Calone, Aldehyde, Ambroxan, floralozone, etc)
11) Something Spicy of your choice (Pink pepper oil, Cardamom oil, Elemi oil, Ginger Oil, etc)
Something like this above is a very basic starting point, and probably lacks depth...but should be fun to play around with and make a few trial sand toy with different levels of materials to see what comes up!
@@bkscents7050 thank you for your time to type all that up. Much appreciated brother! tyvm
if you use naturally derived essential oils and absolutes rather than synthetics you can get away with less ingredients because each aromatic compound consists of many naturally occurring chemicals already.
@@GoodtoGaia thank you for your response have a lovely day!
Liker your speakers ... their the same as mine😆
Hey i have an weird content idea, just something id want to see. Can you make a personal fragrance after you're like 5 drinks deep and narrate your process while drunk. I think that would be so cool. also 5 drnks deep rn
LOL 😂.....I dig it
Why didn't you put perfumers alcohol?
In this video I was using materials prediluted in alcohol. The final outcome of this one was about a 9% concentration. But the percentages I gave in this video are based on using raw/neat materials (undiluted)
It would be nice if you say the dilutions of your materials while you say how much part per thousand you are adding.
Maybe...but everyone uses their own material also at the dilution level of their preference based on how much fragrance they are making. So in the end, the PPT formula really is the only thing that matters in the end
@@bkscents7050 1 ppt of 100% non diluted Amber Xtrem is not same as 1 ppt diluted at 1% ... and some materials which comes as cristal or resin forms like coumarin or labdanum needs to be specified, especially if the material is monster strong like Ethyl maltol.
In this video the formula PPT is assuming if the person is using everything neat/undiluted. It just makes things easier this way for everyone to follow
@@ZT31 Yup, it's assumed you do the math depending on your own dilutions
It doesn’t matter what he is using. This was really confusing for me at first to.
The simplest way to do it is assume it’s a 1 gram total weight blend.
So 1 part per thousand would be .001grams.
If you had a 10% dilution that would be .010g of that diluted material.
Getting a .010g drop is a little difficult, especially with cheap plastic pipettes. The glass it’s easier.
A 1% diluted material would be a little easier to get accurate with .100g being 1 part per thousand in a 1 gram total blend.
Doing it this way also allows you to make the blend however large or small you want, and not the size he is making it.
Just work out the 1 gram blend numbers and multiply by however large you want to make the blend.
So a larger batch of 5g total formula
1/1000 ( 1 divided by 1000) would be .001g ✖️ 5 = .005g of that material.
.050g total weight of a 10% dilution would give you that .005g of actual ethyl maltol or whatever in a formula where is calls for 1/1000.
Go on down the line 7/1000 7 divided by 1000 = .007g ✖️5 = .035g etc.
Just assume when you see a formula with 1/1000 and you are making 1,2,5 gram batches you are going to need 1% and 10% dilutions of that material before you get started.
Hope that makes sense
