Making Perfume: BLEND NOTHING! (UNTIL YOU'VE DONE YOUR PLANNING)

I have a spiced amber fragrance to make. In this film we look at the diagram I've drawn to show its structure, and talk about the thinking you can do before you even begin to put two drops of materials together.
This could save you a lot of time, frustration and wasted blends.

Thanks for showing us the raw materials. Interesting and scary at the same time. The planet color coding to get the feeling for quantities - super!

[@SarahMcCartney4160]

Thank you. It does help me to organise my ideas before I start to piece it all together.

Just saw a number of your new releases pop up on Parfumo. Love the name Oakmossery 😆 And Crikey! Coconut Caramel. Brilliant. Hands down you have the best fragrance names Sarah. Love the solar system and play analogies. 🪐 As far as the word dippage is concerned... 🤣 still trying to sort that one out. Cacao boot polish!

Dippage: I like to use Slayer Slang.

Well done for paying attention. 😉

I vote for davana and pink pepper instead of rose! That does sound amazing!

[@SarahMcCartney4160]

I haven't made it yet, but I might yet. 😀

I can't seem to find any place to buy labdanum only cistrose eo. Can anyone help me?

[@SarahMcCartney4160]

The essential oil is completely different. Cistus absolute is similar to labdanum absolute, but the essential oils are not what you want here. Where are you based? They are from the same plant, so they have the same Latin name, but generally you can find different kinds of labdanum at Hermitage or Perfumer's Apprentice.

[@greengenesis]

Hi Sarah McCartney
Thank you so much for answering.
I am based in Zurich Switzerland. Might it also be an option to buy Labdanum as a solid resin and than dilute it in alcohol myself?
I just started 1-2 months ago, your videos are really helpful, thank you. :-)

[@SarahMcCartney4160]

@@greengenesis definitely. Before I got the more liquid one, I always had mine at 80:20 resin:ethanol.

😂 I’m sorry but no “Wood Planet” doesn’t sound like a kid’s show to me

[@SarahMcCartney4160]

You're too young to be familiar with The Woodentops. 🙂
