  • Making a perfume of your own can be inexpensive and uncomplicated, but making exactly what you want will probably take years, many trials and adventures. This is a film for people just starting out, and for going back to basics when you've got yourself a bit lost in ALL the information out there.

    This was very educational. Although i likely won't be making my own perfume, not because i don't want to but because of resources. But this is still very fascinating.

    I quite like this musk, although I don't have Givaudan's Cervolide but bought unbranded 12-oxahexadecanolide. When I got it I found it to be quite similar in it's incensy vibe to Musk R1, only then I found out that one synonym of the latter is 11-oxahexadecanolide, so probably my nose didn't fool me... To me it has waxy aspects that remind on (blown out) candles. And this is where I usually use it, incense, candle like smells, waxy florals...

    Put the lid back on and write everything down.
    Just a pro tip about the weighing scales. Get the scales in hand before buying one of the calibration weights. I saw a video of the scales being calibrated with a 500g and 100g weights which I ordered along with my scales, the one that arrive needed a 200g weight... Learn from my mistake!

    • @SarahMcCartney4160

      Most scales don't need to be calibrated at this level though. Ohaus don't recommend messing with factory settings. 🙂

    How would one work in a blender? At what point? Particularly- magical mystery material

    • @SarahMcCartney4160
      @SarahMcCartney4160  Před rokem +1

      There are materials which help others to blend easily and materials which like to stand out more. Those which are sometimes called blenders are not only that, they also have aromas and properties of their own. For that reason there is no simple answer to your question. It depends which material and what else you have already put in there and what effect you want. I use Magical Mystery Materials to surround a blend of more intense materials, to make it smell like an actual perfume.

    • @HenrysGrandmaK
      @HenrysGrandmaK Před rokem

      @@SarahMcCartney4160 I see, so then you would add it a drop at a time along with the other materials? Not necessarily a standard percent but more of a preference of scent. Is the correct?

    • @SarahMcCartney4160
      @SarahMcCartney4160  Před rokem

      @Chin Up Buttercup If I were to put the Magical Mystery Material into a fragrance I would probably make it at least 50% of the blend. But it really depends on what the other 50% is. I can't really give a proper answer unless I know what the rest of your formula is. Watch some of the films about Clouds to see if it becomes clearer.

    Hi! Thanks for the work you do! Question: Wouldn’t 10 percent be 8 out of total weight of 80, so that ethanol should’ve been 72 for the first dilution?

    • @SarahMcCartney4160
      @SarahMcCartney4160  Před 6 měsíci

      Yes, but we don't press "tare" in between the two materials. We put in 8g of the material, then add ethanol until it reaches 80, which means we have added 72g. There is no need to reset the scale to zero after the first 8 grams, subract 8 from 80 to give 72 and measure 72 grams. It's just faster not to reset.

      ⁠@@SarahMcCartney4160Thank you-especially for not considering the question dumb-ish! The term “compound” in the lit just made it (maybe makes it) a bit confusing.
      Btw, really glad that you’re offering online classes. I’ll very probably sign up for the biz class next year if I manage to make something I truly believe in. Cheers 🥂

    Wait ... So if everything is already diluted to whatever % then you don't have to dilute the finished product? Did I hear Arthur say that?

    • @SarahMcCartney4160
      @SarahMcCartney4160  Před rokem +1

      Absolutely. If you're already working at a dilution which is safe to wear on skin, you never dilute the finished product down further.

    The sight of a mature woman dancing in a seduction dance with her young apprentice is pleasing. The facade is stoic, but there is still fire behind it.. and playfulness.
