You can choose whatever you want in your queue your not limited to the “suggestion” of your scent profile
you can choose any perfume that scentbird offers. You can browse through all the perfumes and add whatever you want to your queue. The only problem is that for some you have to pay an extra 5 or 10 dollars if its a more high end or expensive perfume.
Dude, thanks so much for this honest review. I appreciate you taking the time to do the math for us, that was really eye opening. Thanks!
I'm glad you found it helpful! It seems like such a good deal until you really think about it
If you have a subscription with them, most likely your being overcharged. You can't even stop them from tacking on additional charges, because by the time you get the email, about processing, they've already charged you. Darn shame people can NOT steal from people anymore, by fair, and ethical practices
My favorite cologne ever and go to will always be Abercrombie and Fitch fierce
For men.
That must be what they spray all over the store
I completely ignored the scent profile and just went searching in their note library to find scents with notes I like. A couple months in and I think I've found a scent I'm about to buy the full size of. For some reason my scent profile is florals when I hate florals
That's so interesting because I usually hate florals as well!
I know I am super late to this video but I am so glad I found it! Probably won't see this comment because it's over a year ago but I wish I would have watched this before I subscribed because I also thought that there would be more well-known perfumes that I wanted to try before buying, Tom Ford what is a big one I was looking for! Bummer
@@kristyV911 yes! It seems like they use really popular ones like Tom Ford in the marketing but then it's a bunch of brands you've never heard of 😔
@@SarahMarjorie 100% I thought I was pretty up on the perfume game LOL I'm thinking about canceling my subscription! Like you said in the video, Why 17.00 a month on perfume you want
@@kristyV911 absolutely!
Lovely woodsy scents! I love patchouli, amber, and oud.
Imagine a oud perfume haha 😂
@@SarahMarjorie 🤣
I agree. I am not happy with my pick either. And I too thought you can pick your line up but nope. And my 1st order smells so cheap like shit you’d smell when you test out the cologne at the dollar tree. Jordaash or whatever. Yuck and nope. And I also tried so hard to like it but just can’t do it. Nope.
I havent gotten my packages and its past like 3 days it sucks.
Oh, and Merry Christmas, Sarah! 🎄
It's a shame you're not yet at 5k subs! I'm subscribed, been watching you from the beginning! I "like" each of your vids, and try to comment when I can, or have something to say. Maybe if I leave multiple comments, it might help! 🤔 ❤️
You're so sweet. I really appreciate seeing your comments ☺️ Merry Christmas to you too!!
So i been bk and forth looking at scentbird ,and they claim you get to pick 3 scents a month they will send u but when i am about to sign up i don't see anything saying that. Can someone please let me know if its true ty.
I was only ever sent one a month. Maybe it was a special deal they ran?
Just subscribed
Thanks!! 😊
i looked up scents by ingredients, on their ingredient glossary page, but i didn't know they were so misleading. if you don't mind sharing could you do me a favor, if i were to make four perfumes, based on the four seasons, what ingredients/scent profiles would you like them to be? fall, winter, spring, summer... example: summer- aquatic, peppery or not peppery, not powdery, fruity, juicy, sweet, light, flowery, citrusy, hint of spice, no spice, which spices, herbal, non, etc. a lot of guy perfumes are cedars and leather scents, vetiver is a common department store scent, a mossy green chemically smell. in small amounts it smells chemically, most perfumes contain it. in medium amounts it becomes green and leathery, in large amounts it smells like toads and frogs, not very pleasant! most ingredients are similar in profile, they go from light and hard to define, to spot on, to luxurious and indulgent then to disgusting and or acrid. so if you could, maybe add a scale of potency, 1-4, 1 being hard to define, very washed out, 2 spot on but not irritatingly strong, 3 rolling in the scent and slightly irritating for others, and 4, pour it me! i ask this because i want to get into making perfume again. by the way, amber is a musky and powdery vanilla accord, it is what makes most perfumes blurry and powder puffy, baby powder is an amber and rose accord. musk comes from animal glands or whale secretions, or musk mallow seeds related to hollyhocks. the first it stinky musk almost body odor bad, ambergris from whales is softer and sticky, musk mallow is flowery, to fresh in super light amounts. there is a rock rose oil that is a crispy cinnamonish powdery herbal odor, benzoin, a incense sweet molasses spiceiness, it smells sickly sweet on the skin, like kisses but pleasant, oud smells poopy, if its real oud, I'm not a fan of it, ylang ylang smells like a tropical winey flower, but in large amounts gives off old deteriorated perfume vibes and mixed with rose is basically grandma's bathroom soap. chypre, is a peachy vetiver rock rose combo, heavy, sweet, and herbal and flowery-ish.
Musk comes from animal glands? 😳😳
For spring I would say I may not be the best judge because I don't tend to like flowery but maybe something like white tea, jasmine. Summer- definitely something fruity and sweet. I'm a big fan of citrus! Maybe something like green apple, lemon, with perhaps a vanilla undertone? Fall- all the spice! Cinnamon, clove, cedar, brown sugar, with a vanilla base. For winter I would say mint, vanilla, something sweet and almost "icy" if that makes sense. Maybe some very very slight tones of balsam/pine with light undertones of sage? I need to get more educated on the whole "top notes, middle notes, base notes" thing
@@SarahMarjorie wintergreen esential oil is icy, but sweet, peppermint might do wonderful there! in tiny amounts, for winter, i would do (normally milligrams) but 1 drop pepperment into 15ml of everclear pure grain alcohol, from liquor store, that's your diluted perfuming peppermint bottle. pure drops are too strong. you would dilute your vanilla, and spruce eo the same. i love the sage, i would do two drops of sage per 15ml, for a base note you could use frankincense, one drop per 30ml. the formula would look like this:
in a perfume bottle that will hold a little over 50 ml of pga, but only put 25 ml pga in it at first. write down everything you do as you do it.
add
1 drop diluted peppermint
1 drops diluted vanilla
1 drop diluted spruce
1 drop diluted frankincense
1 drop diluted sage
(me personally, I'd add 1 drop diluted grapefruit ((1 drop gf essential oil to 20 ml pga))
now, cap the bottle, shake it, and get a clean toothpick or straw, and dip it and put some on your skin and check for severe reactions, you never know until you know. if good, add to a cloth or your sleeve, its better to wear perfume on your clothes, but i use all food safe and skin safe products, so i can wear mine on my skin safely. what you are doing now will be adding your main ingredients to build the strengths you want. you will be adding the last 25 ml of pga after you are done, so if something is too strong, either start over, or add the last 25 ml of pga now.
all of these are powerful, you might have to add more pga! the weak ones, you can add or keep weak, and thus balance out your scent profile to your liking.
@@SarahMarjorie for fall, my favorite time of the year, i had created a fall leaf scent, so strong it smelled like sweet brown tobacco, until you washed it off then smelled like a pile of leaves according to my niece who tried it. but i love those spices too. oddly, cinnamon ages to a soft sweet scent that is barely woody. but it does smell warm. nutmeg ages to a cinnamon scent, clove and cinnamon make a nutmeg smell and clove by itself ages down to a dusty woody subdued clove. cinnamon and clove, and nutmeg is weaker but all of these, especially cinnamon must be greatly diluted. 1 drop per 50 ml of pga is slightly weaker than most would want for cinnamon but 30ml dilution can cause skin reddness. with 50 ml dilution, i could fine tune the cinnamon with up to four diluted drops per fifteen ml of perfume in the final product. so your starting formula would be this:
25ml of pga
3 drops cinnamon at 1drp per 50ml
1 drop nutmeg at 1 drop per 35ml
sorry, continued:
1 drop clove at 1 drop per 40 ml pga
1 drop tonga bean at 1 drop per 20ml pga
(tonga bean is a buttery cinnamon role vanilla scent, it enhances cinnamon and vanilla scents)
1 drop vanilla at 1 drop per 25ml pga
tonga has a brown sugar vibe to its scent, but to get more you would need artificial eos, but a cognac absolute which is raisin-like would work. I'd try the cinnamon and tonga first. maybe add
1 drop of amber at 1/2 drop per 50 ml pga
1 drop of cedar or juniper at 1 drop per 30ml. cedar is more peppery, juniper is brighter.
if you want it luxurious,
add 1 drop ambretta/musk rose at 1 drop per 20ml pga dilution.
work out what you like, then add another 25 ml of pga with the drop amounts you liked in the first half, minus any that were too strong. there are hay/tea scents in chamolmile, but it can be weak in a perfume. so a good dilution is 1 drop per 15 ml pga, depending on how strong your eo is. however, chamomile blooms in a perfume and makes it fuzzy or fluffy, kind of how sage does, many green eos do.
@@gristlevonraben wow, there's so much I didn't know about perfumes! After reading this I kinda went to experiment with making my own!
