Alternate method of making a 10% dilution where the math is easier. Start with the material. Drop around .8 grams into the sample bottle. Let's say you drop in a little more by accident: .816. To dilute, just move the decimal one place to the right and dilute to that number - don't tare the scale. In my example, I would just add solvent until I reach 8.16g. It is much harder to mess up this calculation, and you don't need to be precise when adding the material (which is usually heavier and harder to get exact amounts in my limited experience). I make 8 gram dilutions because I want extra room for materials that are heavier than expected. If I accidentally drop .879, I can still dilute to 8.79 without worrying that I'll run out of room in the sample bottle.
90% of the time, this is exactly what I do. I also default to 8 grams :-) I'll do 9g if I'm about to use a gram (like I did in the video), but your thought process is the same as mine :-)
I just found your channel and subscribed immediately! I always play something in the background when I'm making some perfume in my lab. It's like having someone else doing the perfume with me! Love your description of the mareterials, and the length of the video is just perfect for me! Keep making videos like this ❤ Also, just realized I have the exact same magnetic stirrer!
By the way thank you so much for the info on adding BHT straight to the ethanol! I never thought about it that way. I have BHT separately, but I think it would be much more efficient to add it straight to the ethanol so each dilution is 'protected'
It's an interesting perfume, very gourmand, creamy. It's quite noticable in many perfumes that the formula itself is not very "original". The ingredients are quite the same for many perfumes, the base itself, but many little ingredients, sometimes only present in traces completely change the profile !
I find that fascinating! For how bad our noses are compared to the rest of the animal kingdom, it doesn't take much to make a fragrance juice distinguishable from another.
Hi Ryan, I think it was in this video were you asked for the exact concentration of BHT to use. Thing is, it doesn't calculate by the amount of oxygen sensitive materials you use. BHT is a "radical catcher", meaning that radicals like free oxygene tend to react with BHT first, before the sensitive material. So, if even, the amount of BHT used would have to be calculated of the amount of oxygen you expect diffunding into the container during the lifetime of the perfume. I wish you fun with that math. At the end, you simply add an excess of BHT. To my opinion, spiking the ethanol with 0,1% BHT ist totally sufficient. The EU allows up to 0,8% for cosmetics but I think 0,1% ist ok. Once the perfume is bottled, it anyways don't get too much oxygene anymore due to opening the tap all the time.
Your classification of materials into six groups is fantastic, Ryan! It would be ideal if all formulas on your channel followed this structure. Listing each main accord, then breaking down the specific materials that contribute to each base-like the ones in a sweet or apple base-would make it so much easier for beginners like myself to understand. Thanks for all the valuable insights!
@RyanParfums Screen displays Vanillin while you say you are adding Ethyl Vanillin. I'd request clarification on it, perhaps in an addendum to the video or certainly in a comment here, so that people don't do the Wrong Thing. Sorry but I'm not posting URLs here any longer, TH-cam is too Nazi-esque about deleting comments which contain them. Thanks for clarifying vanilla materials for us
It would be cool to see some original formulas. Like a first one that was decent and the latest one to see how you have grown. Of course you could omit the exact percentage for proprietary purposes 😄
I wonder about those watch statistics. I watch all your videos all the way through, but I often come back to re-watch certain parts, and I dont re-watch the whole thing.
I will need to give this a try! I also tried your personal formula for a 90s fougere. And my god ive gotten so many compliments on it when going out. Its been about 2 weeks since i made it, but i know i will get even better!!
I’m so happy to hear that. I’ve got a matured batch that is just gorgeous. But I have to be careful; when I get some on my clothes, I can smell it weeks later! Good thing it smells great 😃
@RyanParfums I have the same problem!! The musks are beautiful! I'm forever impressed by your blending! The musks made such a gorgeous base! Admittedly I used hyraceaum instead of civet because I don't own synth civet (yet). I guess it added a more subtle warmth to it?
@@RyanParfums Glad to make a suggestion for you! It definitely added a slight leathery urine smell, but at the percentage of the civet it was only in trace. I could barely detect it for me at least!
i am new to perfumery. your vids are full of knowledge. i had a question. most of the perfumery vids i see on yt people use aroma chemicals. why dont people use essential oils. do they not last or project or fix well?
I am also new to perfumery, so take what I say with a grain of salt. But there are many advantages to using aroma chemicals. You are correct that they often project better and last longer (diffusion and persistence), but they also tend to be cheaper and safer (less likely to cause irritation on the skin). There are also aroma chemicals that have smells that do not exist in nature. The science and art of perfumery has advanced a lot since the days when it was just essential oils in alcohol.
I'll simply add that if you're making a commercial product, the more essential oils you use, the greater the potential variation of your fragrance year to year, as essential oils can vary by year and by source location. Using more aroma chemicals helps to control batch variation.
No you are not. Paradisone is a captive and you are not able to use it unless you are a perfumer for firmenich. Paradise Molecule is Fraterworks replacer for Paradisone but its not made by Firmenich.
Hi Ryan, I have heard you say a few times you pre-treat your Ethanol. I don't have Solgard or other UV material but I have BHT. What ratio would you recommend Ethanol to BHT? Thanks
Love your videos! Do you know of any profiles that have been posted for Creed Himalaya? I’ve been searching for a formulation online, I’d love to try and make something similar.
Hi! You don’t need to resolute your raw materials. I do, only because that’s what I’ve done since I’ve started. Diluting materials is usually recommended for beginners as it helps save money. 😃
hey ryan do you read the ingredients ? they often list the molecules i looked it up and this is what it list on the perfume Alcohol Denat., Fragrance (Parfum), Aqua/Water/Eau, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, BHT, Limonene, Linalool, Hexyl Cinnamal, Tocopherol. 498-1.01 and of course the ingredients are listed from the order of greatest to least amount used in product
Those ingredients also include a list of allergens. For example, Limonene is an allergen. Perhaps the fragrance contains lemon oil (which contains limonene). Instead of listing Lemon oil as an ingredient, they'll list Limonene.
Three of them are UV blockers. 2 preservatives. 3 allergens. Linalool (which is naturally in a number of natural oils) is not restricted, but has to be listed on label.

It’s like a tree grafting process. You just add on a different fruit branch to the same already established trunk.
Just by saying the weights you are adding is an Easter egg itself. Favourite Chanel by far. So thank you. Wish you would have said them with creed.

Good flag. I put ethyl vanillin and vanillin on the screen in backwards order. Batch amounts listed are correct.
Very entertaining video this week. So many ingredients! 😁
You could choose to watch a movie, or watch this video... the time cost is the same 😂 Choose carefully 🙃
The freak nasty qoute NEVER gets old 😂😂😂😂

If you want to see me blend something bad… be careful what you wish for 🤣
I wonder about those watch statistics. I watch all your videos all the way through, but I often come back to re-watch certain parts, and I dont re-watch the whole thing.
In can see the parts where a large amount of people are rewatching. The whole metrics and tracking system behind the scenes is so interesting.
I will need to give this a try! I also tried your personal formula for a 90s fougere. And my god ive gotten so many compliments on it when going out. Its been about 2 weeks since i made it, but i know i will get even better!!

@@claytonjohnson624 Interesting substitution! Hyraceum is more leathery and urinous where civet is warm and fecal. I will have to try that!
@@RyanParfums Glad to make a suggestion for you! It definitely added a slight leathery urine smell, but at the percentage of the civet it was only in trace. I could barely detect it for me at least!
Thanks for saving ionones, didn't know about Butylated Hydroxytoluene
Good work Ryan
Cloud is extremely popular. To me, it's similar to BR40 but with an added coconut note. I'm personally not a fan, but I know a few who are.
Thanks for the video!

Funny that this has way more ingredients then Baccarat Rogue
Instead of Hedione i use the Firmenich Paradise Molekule...its the heart of Hedione ❤
No you are not. Paradisone is a captive and you are not able to use it unless you are a perfumer for firmenich. Paradise Molecule is Fraterworks replacer for Paradisone but its not made by Firmenich.
Hi Ryan, I have heard you say a few times you pre-treat your Ethanol. I don't have Solgard or other UV material but I have BHT.
What ratio would you recommend Ethanol to BHT? Thanks
What has worked for me is 0.8g BHT per 800g Ethanol. That's essentially 0.8g BHT dumped into a 1000ml bottle.
Love your videos!
Do you know of any profiles that have been posted for Creed Himalaya? I’ve been searching for a formulation online, I’d love to try and make something similar.
I haven't seen one, but I'll keep my eyes open
Hi good information
All Raw material compalsary
Dilute or not pl tell me sir
Hi! You don’t need to resolute your raw materials. I do, only because that’s what I’ve done since I’ve started. Diluting materials is usually recommended for beginners as it helps save money. 😃
Thank you sir ❤
How much BHT in grams do you recommend for 1L of ethanol? Very interesting video!
I’ve been using 0.8g per 1L (800g) of ethanol. So far, that has been working for me.
@RyanParfums thank you!

They only list the ingredients they are legally required to list, there is a lot that is not listed
@ ohh okay thanks
Those ingredients also include a list of allergens. For example, Limonene is an allergen. Perhaps the fragrance contains lemon oil (which contains limonene). Instead of listing Lemon oil as an ingredient, they'll list Limonene.
