Great motorbike analogy Sarah. 🏍 Cured peanut oil not bad for arthritis either. 😉 And far cheaper of course. Incidentally was wearing a bespoke today that I had made with quite a bit of tobacco absolute. Marvellously leathery stuff. 👌
I would only argue that absolutes can be a good reference on a very small, possibly diluted quantity if one can afford to get a few ml. Maybe not to blend with them at the beginning, but that could be a nice exercice : smell the natural and try to blend aroma chemicals to get as close as possible.
When I stared buying Absolute I make 10% dilution and make a small like 5g of what ever I am making their is a difference, I mean huge difference in using cheaper version of materials to using abs.
I got lost and can't figure out what the bran smelling compound was? I have a similar relationship with colone... I can smell it if I have to but if I didn't know it was there I couldn't identify it.
There is certainly a Lavender EO (as taught in Sam Macer's course, Floral Accords module), which is definitely not as nice as Lavender Absolute.🪻 He teaches there is no real need for Lavender accords but one can build a nice and economical Clean Lavender around a modest trace of the abs, EO or Lavender Aldehyde and fill in with Linalyl Acetate, Linalool etc.
😄 If you work for an industry perfumery and your budget for a finished fragrance is €20 per kilo, there's a real need for a lavender accord. It won't have any naturals in it at all! Artisans like us would reach for the natural, in which case one would add other materials to it only of the natural didn't do exactly as we wished. I think I need to make another film on why industry trained perfumers all learn the skills to make their own bases and extensions. It's for consistency and economy.
@@SarahMcCartney4160 Please do make the film. I'm being taught to make artisan accords and bases with at least trace naturals as anchors, but of course I want to know how it's done in industry on a budget as well. Assembly-line perfumery?
Thanks again for these videos. I've learned alot from you and appreciate your content very much! greetings from Finland!
Thank you, Matti. I'm delighted thar they're useful.
Listening to your films like audiobooks
So informative yet soothing 🤍
I'm so glad you're enjoying them. 😸
Arthur made this joke "ABsolutely" once - now it's preserved in the title. Great! ❤
Honestly we never stop doing absolutely jokes. 😂
OMG Arthur is exactly as I imagined him to be.
He's going to be too famous to visit every Wednesday soon. I'm going to have to film him on the other side of the camera. 😁

I didn't know about the peanut oil! I've got three different tobacco absolutes and I love them all, just differently.
Thank you Sarah for sharing, an Interesting primer on Absolutes, great watch
Thanks for this. They're so expensive that I don't want people splashing out until they're ready.

I wouldn't argue back. 😁

It's bran absolute! You didn't get lost at all. 🍞😸
