Actually, the easiest way to make a 1/10 (10%) dilution is simply to NOT press Tara to reset the scale to "0.000" after weighing in the 1.200 grams of concentrated (100%) stock, but to simply start adding the diluent (DPG) until you reach 12.000 grams in total. No need to calculate much, and the added bonus is that you don't have to be precise weighing the 100% substance either. Just fill 1.185 g up to 11.850 g total, 1.210 g to 12.100 g, etc. In the end this will just be your diluted stock-it does not matter if you have 11.850 g or 12.100 g of it.
@@lennyvangogh8006 I only dilute certain materials in DPG most of them are diluted in perfumers alcohol. Since that is what the final product will be diluted in. However some materials (ingredients) are more soluble (dissolve better) is certain solvents. Eg. Crystals and powders are typically diluted in DPG to avoid crystallization
@@Aarep20 Not really. Not all materials age well. Patchouli you can age but notes like Bergamot (or other citruses) and aldehydes for example have a shorter shelf life. So best to use asap.
Hey, why zero out the scale between solute and solvent? Why not just dilute until it reads 12g for the total solution? I've seen other perfumers do it the way you are doing, and I just want to understand the logic behind this.
It saves you lots of arithmetic. If you fail to TARE between materials, you need to keep tracking and noting down the total weight in order to know that you've added the right amount of each ingredient without losing your way. If you TARE each time, it's easy and you are less likely to get lost that way.
Waiting for the "Why DPG & where to use DPG or Ethanol " Video...
Please make it
Would be very helpful
Why you using dpg?
Where and how to look for perfume concentrates created based on the perfumes of popular brands, so that the concentrates are of high quality.
I would recommend perfumers apprentice or fraterworks, both ships internationally.
please continue perfumery contents
Hello!
Can i use white oil as carrier + ethanol, if not why? What ratio should I use to get 5liter?

I would love to know why you used dpg?
Wat else he used use.....
Me too, I would love to know as well, on why the DPG?
@@lennyvangogh8006 Alrighty. I’ll make a video on this. Stay tuned!
@artandalchemyparfum absolutely looking forwards for it! 😇😇😇 thank you!

Is it ok after dilution by Dpg Use Dpg instead of ethanol?
do i need to "age" the diluted material before using it for blending ?

@@artandalchemyparfum Ahh i see, that answers it. Thank you !
Why DPG ?
And Where not to use it... please make a Video on Carriers to Use and Not Use...in different situations

@@Nepharian Either or work. It is what ever you prefer. I like having all my materials measured out and zeroing each time.
