Ciao Brother!☺ Please don't stop to make videos like this because they are so useful in order to understand many unknown things behind the fragrances for many perfume maniacs like me!👍👍👍👍
Hi friend, very interesting video. I have a question, this ingredients (geraniol, citronel, etc) are parts of the fragrance or just added to te final mix? It's something that I always wonder to myself. Thanks
Thanks for stopping by! Yes I mentioned it in the video, Geraniol for example is a molecule that exists in Rose Absolute or can be created in the lab and has a very distinctive smell. So it plays a very important role in the final smell/ product while formulating. But this is not a general rule, as some of the ingredients written on the boxes have no actual smell and are additives used for UV protection or as preservatives in general. Stay tuned as ill have a couple of more videos in this series :)
But Aggele, if the additives have their own smell (e.g. geraniol), the perfumer must take this into account when creating the perfume, because they may change the smell of the final product. Is this correct?
Lefteri of course we have to do this. I know it sounds complicated and it is, but trust me that was the less technical and more simple version of the video I could do 😂 These things in order to be covered 100% you need to attend years of studies or practice/ formulating. Btw as I mentioned, specifically geraniol is not an additive; its either a compount of many floral essential oils or a recreated synthetic molecule used in many formulas.
Awesome video!!! Don't forget butylated hydroxytoluene! It's like in everything these days. Definitely do a part 2 or even 3!! I also always see citral and limonene mentioned as the citrus notes, but are there others?
'Denatured alcohol, also called methylated spirit (in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United Kingdom) or denatured rectified spirit, is ethanol that has additives to make it poisonous', Wikipedia.
At this time I have more than 7 finished products, but nothing has officially launched yet, because my brand is still in the making. Thanks for asking 🙏
Great video, keep doing more of this kinda informative content. Btw I can't seem to find what the %VOL Alcohol means, conflicting opinions come up in search results, can you explain what it precisely means?
Very good question. Briefly, it specifies the% percentage of alcohol in the finished product. But be aware, the rest is NOT necessarily the concentrate only; it might be concentrate + water + preservatives. Its something I will elaborate if I make another part of this video
@@myperfumevlog Thanks for the reply, I have gathered as much. Is the percentage an arbitrary number the perfumer choses to go with or is there actualy a method to it, as after having alcohol and perfume blend plus fixatives and solvents are added they can apparently pad the reminder of the volume with inert material to bring it up to 100.
@@Navac288 my pleasure 🙏🙏🙏 this is where chemistry, experience and tremendous amounts of tests start 😉 the answer to your last question needs more than a video; its actually the "routine" of a perfumer 😎
'The 3 main ingredients of perfumers alcohol are: Ethanol (denatured) -Alcohol which is the main carrier for the fragrance oils. This evaporates quickly as it is warmed by skin temperature releasing the fragrances evenly over the surface.Isopropyl myristate - used in preparations where good absorption is desired.Monopropylene glycol - a cosolvent which allows the fragrance oils to be solubilised in the alcohol carrier. This helps to control the evaporation of the alcohol so that it does not flash off too quickly.'
There are several types of ethanol denaturation depending on the use. Several glycols, along with bitrex are the most common for perfumery. Anything apart from methanol would do the trick either way 😂😂😂
Health, wealth, love, abundance and prosperity to all! Thank you for this video.
Very informative and educational. More of this pls! Thank you very much from Canada ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

Thank u so much 🙏🙏 indeed BHT is almost in everything; very important antioxidant/ preservative

What perfume you have created?
At this time I have more than 7 finished products, but nothing has officially launched yet, because my brand is still in the making. Thanks for asking 🙏
Imparting knowledge, never stop m8
