How To Make A General Men's Fragrance (DIY Perfumery Tutorial)

Kilian Smoking Hot NEW Clone: HK Perfumes Smoke On Fire Review
1.After mixing how long do you let the fragrance sit and mature? 2. What’s the correlation between projection, longevity and perfume oil concentration? 3. I heard milk frother really bad for your fragrance true?
dupe is a little stronger than the OG. I love them both
Have you tried Zanzibar
No I haven't! Is it any good?
@topnotesfragrance hell yeah as a perfumer I think you will appreciate it
I have just had mine delivered. It is VERY powerful. As a male, I'm not sure if I'm confident wearing it as it's very flowery and I'm trying to get over my resistance to wearing something that I perceive as being this "feminine". Any comments?
Yeah it's a beast huh haha. I would say that if you like the scent, wear it! I wouldn't worry too much about straying away from the traditionally masculine fragrances- my girlfriend loves this one on me even though it is sweeter and has a floral undertone :) in the end if you just don't feel confident while wearing it no problem- i wouldnt force it! 🙏🤝
@@topnotesfragrance I'll certainly give it a chance for a while. Definitely a one-spray for starters. Maybe get some opinions/reactions to it. There's evidently a lot of work gone into this frag.
This is one of my favorite scents. Incredible scent, very unique.
I know right- it's such a vibe!
I died laughing when you said "apericot" LOL
I can’t find the video
Please help me find it
It should be on my channel- id just go to my channel and search for DIY baccarat rouge :)
Do these ingredients still disrupt your hormones??
No they don't- good question! :)
Hey, fun video. is there any book you can recommend in order to learn about each of the ingredients? how to mix them ? how to think out of the box etc.?
Totally! Jean Claude ellena has a wonderful book called perfume: the alchemy of scent that is very helpful. Another great channel to look into is sam macer on youtube @sammacer and bkscents is a great resource as well. I'm working on making an affordable in depth full course on how to make fragrances in the near future as well. Hope this helps! :)
Bought ensense suave. love it.
It’s a great fragrance! I’m planning to pick up a full bottle myself soon.
I would love to watch more of makin cologne so interesting i would love to learn how to dilute to 10%
I'll be sure to cover dilution in more detail in upcoming videos! The gyst of it is that you always just take the final weight of pure perfume concentrate (lets say 5 grams) and then divide by the percentage that you want it to be and that'll be the weight that you add alcohol to have the final weight reach. For 10%, you would divide 5 grams by 0.10 which would be 50 grams. So you add 45 grams of alcohol so that the final product weighs 50 grams. I hope this helps :)
@topnotesfragrance thank you im just learning by watching videos im really interested in trying to make something
Hello good morning i just wanna know if you teach please i need reply thank you😊
Hey there- I don't teach a ton but I'm going to be posting some more how-to videos soon!
Thanks for the great review. Really getting into this house now
Yeah I think they're doing some really cool stuff, especially for a younger house!
Is Maddie Christian?
I really enjoy Atlas. Im not a pretty man by any stretch, and I feel like its vibes perfectly with my personality lol. Great job Sebastian 👍👍
Hahahaha fair enough! Yeah it's super solid- I wish the originals of the orto parisi fragrances weren't so darn expensive. Thank you!
Pretty cool and interesting video man, only suggest turning off the LEDs the flickering is less than pleasant.
What a cool and interesting video. Has me seriously considering giving this a try just for fun. Well done!
Thank you! Yeah perfumery is such a fun adventure to get into- let me know how it goes if you give it a shot!
Too true about balancing those fruity notes. Sucks about that AAG overdose but it's even happend to me once! 😬 Didn't even know about the millefleur so that was some great insight. A great vid!
thank you- I'm glad you were able to find a pearl from it! I'm gonna try to make more perfumery videos every once in a while from here on out :)
AAG is nuclear!
Sebastian, you put me down an off-and-on rabbit hole with the first BR540 video you did... Actually peaqued my curiosity before that when talking about a booster in a very early video which I believe was for BDC. Ive watched many perfumers here on youtube, and ill tell you this... You are BY FAR the least boring. You should do as you wish, but I absolutely look forward to every one of these videos l, and watch them multiple times.
Thanks Russell- I really appreciate it! I know you've been here supporting me since the beginning of the channel so I'm sorry I haven't posted that many of me actually doing perfumery- I've filmed a few more recently and will get working on editing them and making more perfumery related stuff soon! It's really nice to hear that y'all are interested in the production side of things and not just my reviews- I hope the new year is treating you well man!
@@topnotesfragrance understand, I wasn't actually saying you were boring... But some of the others here have no excitement or draw to their presentation. I'm long-convinced if they weren't some of the very few voices here available? They'd have no popularity at all.
YESSSSS!!!! Thank you!!!❤️
Of course!! I'll be posting more detailed videos soon for sure- I know this one was more casual :)
Great video, loved following along!
Yeah, it was fun to make, I hope you enjoyed it! 🙏🙏🤝🤝
Does anyone else think profondo smells like Versace pour homme?
my left ear had a great time
Really a hidden gem, fantastic fragrance and performance for the price. This reminds me a lot Dior's Oud Ispahan, not a dupe at all but like if it was a more manly, less floral version of it.
totally! I actually haven't tried Oud Ispahan- I'll have to keep my eye out for it. Do they sell that one in america?
@topnotesfragrance I guess, yes but only in exclusive Dior's shops, since it belongs to the private collection. Good dupes for a 10th of its price are Zara's Sensual Oud and Frank Olivier's Oud Touch, if you can grab them..
I would love a wear test between the real deal and the clone. Sometimes they can smell the same, but they perform different.
Do you have a video on how you started your fragrance brand? Thanks!
No but i can make one soon- stay tuned!
Hi Can u classes for how to make Creed avantus clones
Yeah i actually just filmed one ill post soon! Its about an 85-90% clone of the vintage batches so not perfect but you can tell right away that its aventus!
What's your dream scent pick up?
great question! I'm a super big fan of xerjoff 1861 naxos- I might be picking up a bottle in my next haul from jomashop or fragrancenet! I think it's the best tobacco and honey scent on the market tbh- how about you? Thanks for watching!
@@topnotesfragrance I don’t own Naxos but I’ve heard it’s a great tobacco scent. I recommend sampling Argos Triumph of Bacchus if you’re into rich tobacco scents.
@@topnotesfragrance I want another HJ scent but its a stretch maybe around the summer as a birthday purchase to justify the price...lol
Sebastian, love the first impressions/unboxing for the first time during the video. We get the raw emotion, that “maaaan, this is sweet” was perfect. I have this one and it is a huge hit with me and the wife. If you like this, I highly recommend the new Scandal Absolu, the parfum is also good but the Absolu takes the line to a whole new level. Keep killing it!
Thanks Dereck! Great to see you in the comments again! I actually just recently picked up scandal absolu and I totally agree with you- such a solid DNA! Did you see they just released a le male elixir absolu and a le beau flower edition? It looks like le beau flower edition has kumquat and violet leaf in it!
@ Oh nice, can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Scandal Absolu! Tracking both of the new releases, interested in both for sure. Love Le Male Elixir and the Le Beau line in general so excited to get my nose on both. For now, I’m wearing the heck out of last year’s Le Beau Paradise Garden.
Totally :) ok I just blind bought/ordered Le Beau Flower Edition so hopefully I can get review videos up shortly! I'll let you know if I think the new Le Beau is any good! Yesss paradise garden is amazing
Armaf Odyssey Mandarin sky is suppose to be a really good clone of Scandal, I own the clone and i havent smelled the OG but the clone smells Fantastic! its roughly 20-30$
Oh true! I was considering picking up a bottle for a long time last year but I totally forgot- I might have to add that to my next haul! 🤝🤝
@@Monox1de7 Agreed, Mandarin Sky is a strikingly similar clone. I started with the line there and then had to get the real thing later.
Get gustav scandant it's $19
I'd say that ELDO is a good house to look into if you want a unique signature scent but don't want to pay crazy prices. At least where i live all regular fragrances are around 80 bucks for 100 ml. And most of these are rather versatile.
As women says the biggest size! :)))))))))
Ahaha yup 😂🤝🤝
Great tip on HK Perfumes. I've got a few I need to pick up from them to compare with the OGs as well as clones from Alexandria, Oakcha, Dua, Generic Perfumes, Zoha, Sensual Obsessions, and any random middle eastern clones I have. I love doing that to learn the subtle differences between high quality dupes. I have usually found Alt to be rather harsh but maybe they need time to macerate.
Yeah it’s fun to compare them and see how much difference there is! I keep meaning to get some Alexandria ones- let me know what you think of HK if you end up getting any!!
I cant believe you hit 10k already! Keep it up. we are watching...btw do you have an email I can contact you with? I started a fragrance line and wondered if you wanted to work together ?
Thank you!! 🙏 a good email for me is sebastiang071@gmail.com I used to have it in my youtube bio but I may have recently removed it I'll check :)
@@topnotesfragrance great! im emailing you now...
Congrats on 10k!
Thank you so much! I appreciate the support!

Do you sale samples. Travel sizes? Congrats btw 🤙🏽
Yes I do! I have a sample set where you get 4 samples and redeem for a full sized bottle of your choice at vitabellaperfumes.com and I sell individual samples as well as a sample set of just the 4 samples no redemption at my decant website decantworld.com :)
I bought the 40 Nots it was good but their customer service is absolutely awful.
Alt Crystal 23 smells absolutely amazing. My sister had it on and I loved it so much, that she bought me one for my birthday
It's definitely one of the popular ones out there for sure!
Love your videos man! Would love to see more of your content on Instagram too, of course it’s only a suggestion 🤗🤗
Hello! id enjoy a video of you reviewing your viewers collections and making a suggestions for their next frag purchase (for example suggesting one fragrance that is similar vibes to the rest and another suggestion that expands the variety of the collection). Id appreciate your input on that!
I like that idea! I'll try to make a video like that in the future :)
Hey,should i get this one or the original one as a teenager? I would like the one that girls like more on men, thanks for replies.
Id go with the original personally!!
@@topnotesfragrance thanks
Please give me your WhatsApp number
Any Powder using?
This is a daily driver for me. Not so much a clone of Megamare as it is a twist on that formula--seaweed replaced by jasmine in the mid. Megamare is more interesting and complex, but I find Atlas more wearable because it deletes the dirty seawater note. Performance is nuclear. Two sprays max unless you just want to choke out the room with ambroxan. Atomizer is the best in my small collection. Well worth the $30.
Spicy/mexican chocolate was the first note I smelt on Black Orchid.
Gonna have to give this formula a try :) I have most of the materials so should be fine
Falcon leather is my absolute favorite. I have no reason to wear it whatsoever and it doesn’t fit my personality, but I have to have it anyway because I love it so much. Santal Austral is beautiful and I love the silage but it doesn’t mix well with my skin up close. Neroli Oranger, Parisian Musk, and Encens Suave are my favorite since they fit my style and mix well with my skin. They are also very wearable. The quality is outstanding for all of their scents though. I haven’t tried Vanilla Powder or Crystal Saffron yet, but I want to smell them eventually!
Yeah, I feel you on the Falcon Leather! It's such a unique smell.
Yay! Finally someone reviewed Atlantic Breeze. Thank you. I have not smelled the OG Pacific Chill, but I have Atlantic Breeze and I really like it.
