Starting your own perfume brand? I host my online store with Shopify: shopify.pxf.io/jryWdn
another super expensive hobby for my adhd self..
Lol…watching this right now and thats exactly my thought…like damn it 😂😂😂
Ikrrr!!!! 😂
...that I can't afford...
Dudeeeee I thought the same then this was the first comment I saw LOL
drain gaaaang
I have self taught many things, including silversmithing. My next challenge is to self teach perfumery, so this is a very helpful video for me, and I will be sure to check out the rest.
Good luck!
You don't need to learn that
@@mrssomeone2143 what do you mean of that? Or you're just too self confident of your self?
Did you learn on TH-cam? How did you manage deal with it?
I’m also looking to get into perfumery decaying the chemistry route or self teaching
There is a perfume issue that has bothered me for some time. I come from "back in the day." I remember being on a theatre tour when I turned 18. A woman in the cast took me out, so I could choose my signature perfume. I chose Madam Rochas. It was the most beautiful thing I have ever smelled. In those days, we were also instructed to use perfume modestly on our pulse points, and rub our wrists together to bring out the scent. We would also never choose a perfume when we first used a spritz on our skin in the store. The perfume had to settle on our skin for a while before we could assess whether it suited us and the make up of our skin.
Cut to modern times. First, I slowly realised the perfume I have always used no longer smelt the same. Then I noticed that modern perfumes seem to be lovely (a couple of them, anyway) then, sometimes within minutes, the perfume is no longer present. I checked this with some women friends of various ages and they complained of the same thing. I watched a video not so long ago where the advice was never to rub your wrists together...Weird. There was also no mention of letting the sample of a new perfume mature on the skin.
I discovered that there is a market for vintage perfumes. This is somewhat dodgy because you don't really know what you're buying. I managed to afford some vintage Madam Rochas. The smell was back! Not only that, but the full aroma matured on my skin and lasted all day and into the next. Having the need to shower, I couldn't tell you how long it lasted. I can just tell you that it does.
So, what is the deal here? I sort of concluded that modern perfumes no longer contained natural substances, but have been exchanged for cheaper chemical ones? and/or the modern perfumes contain more alcohol?
There is no doubt that something is wrong with modern perfumes. Can you shed any light on this?
In general there’s no reason modern perfumes should be lower quality but there are potential reasons for what you experienced. Firstly, some base notes like oakmoss are now restricted on safety grounds. Secondly, it’s possible that people are now less patient and like perfumes that smell great straight away, which often means using less strong basenotes in favour of softer musky ones.
@@sammacer Thank you for taking the time to reply. Much appreciated.
May I ask what the texture of your vintage perfumes are like? In my country concentrated perfumes are fairly popular which have a syrupy texture and need to be rubbed for the scent to settle into the skin and develop. They also last way longer and mostly use natural ingredients. The only downside I would say is that I've fallen in love with many modern scents and have yet to find the same dna in the concentrated perfumes.
Formulas change sometimes, either because the availability/affordability of certain ingredients change, or EU regulations decide something is unsafe. Anyway, there's no reason to buy new frags when ebay is full of classics going for less money.
Yes I have experienced the same, modern perfumes don’t last longer than an hour or two. On the other hand try old perfume oils and it lasts for a week , in our country we call them Attar or Ittar. It does not come in spray bottles but roll-ons or dab on wrist from bottle. The logic behind it is apply it in body areas that heats up more example ear lobes, behind neck, wrist etc so that the oil heats up every time you heat up and then it leaves an aroma from time to time 😊
This is ridiculously brilliant! Thank you for being an incredible teacher! You make the art of perfumery accessible and inclusive
Thank you!!
I've watched dozens of " how to make your own perfumes" but this is the first time I've ever seen on how REALLY can you make your own perfumes... dude, you just opened my eyes and put me on the right path to do it ❤
Thank you so much for that.
Your follower from Middle East 😊
Yeah there are a lot of trash guides out there that teach nothing, the reality is it’s difficult. Thanks for the support ❤️
يسطا انا اتفرجت ع الفديو بس مفهمتش حاجة 😩
@@nourali1848لا باس اذا انا اتفرجت فيديو بالعربي لن افهم اي شي ايضا
@mazen747west plz also watch movie PERFUME and you will be master
I'm not planning to make perfume, but this is an exemplary tutorial. The structure, scope, pacing and design are what I'd want in any tutorial. Bravo.
Hello. I've been a synthetic organic chemist for over 25 years. I've been looking into a side hobby I could really get into. I think this is the one! Thank you for your love and time into this video. Thank you.
Thank you!
I found over the years I was drawn to certain shower gels, candles and perfumes. Only recently realised they all had Cedarwood in them 😮
super useful and informative, actually teaches u how perfume works unlike the DIY vids just asking u to use essential oils 😂
Thanks! That’s the aim
I have no plans to make my own perfume but I watched this whole video because I’ve always wondered how it’s made. Thanks for the knowledge!
This is the most informative intro to perfume video I've found! Thanks!
First and foremost, thank you so much for this amazing introduction video to perfuming! I can honestly say i am a bit intimidated by the information since i am learning from scratch but your encouragement to take my time and don't give up to master this beautiful craft is truly appreciated!! ❤❤❤🌹🌻🌺🌷
I appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge with the public 😊
This is the video i've been needing for so long! Wow, you really break it down SO WELL. Thank you so much! Please continue doing such great work!
Thank you, much appreciated :)
This video is an absolute masterpiece. Thank you for sharing such an incredible knowledge. So detailed and clear information, giving resources for the materials all around the world... I wish everyone on the Internet created content like this ❤
The explanation correlated with music production was absolutely brilliant
You could also use a micro pipette, the ones they use in biology laboratories for super small volumes
This is an incredible resource - well researched and well presented in a straightforward way.
This was so simple and helped make the jump into perfumery so much more simple! Thank you for such an amazing guide!
This is absolutely, hands down, is so completely informative and detailed.
Thank you so very much! This will help tremendously with making my lotions, body sprays, oil perfumes, and alcohol based perfumes.
I’ve been looking for years for a perfume video this is very informative!
This is one of the BEST beginners guide to perfumery! LOVE IT! Thank you! Definitely subscribed!
Thank you!
Finally, I have been waiting for a channel like this to come out. Someone knowledgeable to actually breakdown and teach perfumery, thank you! Excited to watch your videos and learn as much as I can.
Thank you, much appreciated 🙏
Short, comprehensive, filled with resources for everybody. 10/10 video.
This is a great video for anyone wants to know something about perfumery. Great job!! 🙏
Awsome, informative and honest video... u have covered almost everything in just 20 minutes !! Needless to say, lot of hard work and preparation has gone before making this.. Hats off Sam 👏..
You are an absolute rockstar for sharing all of this knowledge and information! Thank you!
Thank you!
This is so brilliant I dont think I’ve ever watched a video about perfumery that’s so honest straightforward and knowledgeable, literally cant thank you enough for being this beautiful ❤️
Thank you, very much appreciated!!
thank you ❤️ you’re awesome for making this
What a perfect introductory video! Thank you for all your help. You're an absolute gem
Thank you!
I'm very interested in perfumery, i used to try to make new perfumes by mixing different perfumes when I was a kid lol.
I love perfumes so much, people find them unnecessarily expensive but in my opinion they're really worth it because they have the ability to change our emotions in a good and remarkable way. I'll be making my own perfumes when I get money. Thank you for this amazing video and making me even more interested. Subscribed!
Thanks and good luck with your future perfume making :)
I also have been blending and selling for 6yrs different designer oil Perfumes into one , looking forward to learning more about the industry
@@saidabdulkadirmjahid8255 good luck with that!
This is the first video of yours I've seen, and it's an instant subscribe. I've been smelling fragrances for a long time now, and i haven't yet found THE perfect fragrance. I'll pick this up as a hobby and maybe I'll be the one to compose that special fragrance. I love this video so much, Sam, thank you. 🥂🥂
My pleasure, hopefully you’ll get there one day
I wanted to thank you for your excellent video.
It felt like a course done with love and dedication.
I dint want it to end.
I think that perfumery it's hard for me, but I will always see your videos.
I hope you will do an online course and I believe that many people would love it.
Thank you for your generosity.
Ps. It could be nice to explain why perfume needs base, middle and upper tones if what last is mostly the base?
And also, how do you fixate the smell.
Hope to see that on your videos.
Thank you again.
Thanks! This was an amazing introduction and you helped me greatly in my research (I'm developing new aromas from corn cobs (I'm an organic chemist) and this helped me in the parfumery side of my research)
Thank you, good luck with your project!
You are friggin awesome dude. I learned so much and now I don't feel lost and finally I get the hard to define issues I've been fighting.
Really glad that I could help :)
super in dept!! And super interesting, thank you for your work. I really love this art, but starting is really expensive. I'm going to do it eventually
OMG I absolutely love you!! All I've ever wanted was to learn about perfumery and this is the most direct, succinct explanation I've ever found. And I'm 63 years old...been looking a long time. Bravo and gracie mille!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for such an in-depth introduction into perfume making and for suggesting the books... really appreciated!
Glad it was helpful!
I clicked out of curiosity now am hooked on this channel. you teach amazing bro

You are a wonderful teacher, Sam. This was a delightful, watchable, pleasant and well organized video.
Thank you
It's perfect ! The field of fragances fascinates me, I want to know closely, this video is a great help to discover it closely by knowing all its secrets.
Thank you 😊
No problem :)
Im new to perfume world and im just starting in collecting amazing fragrances. I personally am not looking forward to be a perfumer but this video has taught me some of the basics and understanding the art of making beautiful scents. Beautiful, simple and easy to understand. Sam, i can't thank you enough. I just subbed and will look into your other videos. :)
Thank you :)
Great video! I've been making perfumes for about 2 years. Learning from different articles, videos, and books. There where a few things that I was really understanding and your video answered everything that I've been needing to take it to the next step. I want to start my own perfume house. Thank you!
Fantastic, glad I could help, good luck with your perfume house!
Dear Chris, would you please contact me? I've a few questions about making perfumes and you might help me.
@@sammacer Thank you!
@@tvglasses what's your Instagram name brother?
finally a useful video. I've been trying to find a video that REALLY explain how to actually make perfume for so long. thank you
Yeah there really are a lot of unhelpful ones out there aren’t there haha
Informative, understandable, straightforward- an amazing guide for beginners. Congratulations and thank you for your efforts.
I sincerely love your video! Sending love and support! ❤
Best video I’ve seen for exposing perfume !!! Thank you
Thank you!
I'm an organic chemist who just made my first fragrance compound (heliotropin or piperonyl aldehyde - the essensce of heliotrope I've made by oxidative cleavage of piperic acid originally derived from piperine isolated from Piper nigrum / Black pepper) and this brought me here. This is all very interesting and never knew there is such a world to explore. The perfumery industry looks just as rich as the dye industry (I was making mostly organic dyes). I think I will provide more synthetic compounds for the amateur perfumers :)
For sure it’s a massive world! I think you might want to check on the legality of selling heliotropin since I believe it’s DEA restricted
@@sammacer Yes I know. There are alternatives like helional, but I am not planning to sell either. I was just curious how the original compound in L'Heure Bleue (Guerlain) actually smells. I was learning oxidative cleavage reactions, having piperine at hand and thus stumbled upon this compound, hence found the perfume and this video (mostly procrastinating actual learning chemistry).
Hello Sam. I am a nursing student anw. This is my first time experiencing such a detailed explanation delivered with a British accent about making perfume and it truly made the experience enjoyable and insightful. Your patient approach and clear articulation made it exceptionally easy for me to comprehend the information. I value the effort you put into ensuring that the content was accessible and informative
Thank you!
In school learning right now! I’m so excited.
any tip?
thank you sam for your sweet information about how to make your own perfume...
❤love this!
Amazing & insightful delivered with such clarity it demystifies the art of perfumery!
Thank you😊
Seriously the reference books what u have suggested holds lot value in this video and the way u explained about raw materials and how to create accords also appreciable👏👏
I'm glad it helped
Oh my goodness… I have been searching for a channel like this for so long abd now I find it!
This video deserves an award!🎉
This is the best video in the world on this topic! Thank you!
Thank you!
Excellent crash course of parfumery ! And quite contagious one at that ! great job ! Well done !!!
Thanks!
This video is so well made and informative, I subscribed to your channel. Thank you ❤
I took a short introductory course on perfumery earlier this year. A 3-day course to be precise but I now realise, after having watched your amazing video, that my short course barely scratched the surface 😅 Love your explanation! ❤
Thank you, and for sure it would be impossible to cover everything in a 3 day course
Excellent introduction, thank you!
After reading "Perfume: The story of a Murderer" I was curious how perfumes can be made and stumbled on your video. Very interesting and informative, thank you for sharing.
Thanks to this video, I don't have hunt women anymore! 🤣
Recently, reminiscing about when I found my favourite perfume which was discontinued made me curious about perfumery. I read online it was doable but a skilled craft. After watching this video, I think I'm going to turn perfumery into a hobby of mine. I'm sure every possible scent has been almost created but I'd love to make something unique, just for myself, that is set apart from the rest but fights with the big leagues. Just to add some more identity to myself socially. Thanks for the motivation in this video.
thank you, this is really awesome! i was just trying to learn something about mixxing scents because i want to make my own nail oil for my salon. and when i stumbeld on this it almost want to make my own perfume! i will use this knowledge for my oils!
This video is one of the best of its own I have ever watched. Thank you very much for the awesome video.
Thank you 🙏
Thank you for an excellent tutorial. It is a good start. 🤗
This is just an amazingly well put together informative video. Topic aside, the presentation of this alone is absolutely brilliant.
Thank you, it took a lot of editing!
Sam your work is amazing! Thank you very much for the video and channel! Subscribed
Thank you!!
Incredibly resourceful video. Thank you so much for making this ❤
You're welcome!
Great introduction. Your voice is very easy to follow and authoritative.
Thank you! I had no idea what's involved with creating a Parfum. VERY interesting i learned a lot!
I was literally thinking about making/creating my own Parfum a few weeks ago. It was like a daydream. As I sat and thought about this idea, it's not the 1st time the idea has come to me ( several times over the years ) I will think and imagine for a few minutes and then life comes and I'm snapped back into my reality ( everyday adult life-ing ) and I forget about it... BUT THEN,
THIS ( your ) video shows up!
I think The Universe is saying...
" Well hear you go, the ball is in your court, let's start making your dream into your reality "
You have a new subscriber 🙋🏾♂️. I will watch your other " how to " videos I am excited!
What a coincidence! I’m glad my video popped up for you just at he right time. Good luck with your exploration of perfumery :)
Great stuff. I love perfumery, and I just find this type of knowledge intriguing. Tell us more and about atomization as well (where to get the best or right atomizers). I have been hearing how so much focus can also be directed to that feature part of perfumery more especially on the utilization side of things.
THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO. THANK YOU
Thank you so much for this, I’m very greatful for that!
Absolutely brilliant.. Simply explained in mist logical way.
Super cool channel. I'm glad I found this .
You are very detailed and eloquent in your teachings. Great work.
Thank you
Amazing, simple and clear. Perfumery made simple thank you for this.
Thank you!
Just say, you are genius. Thanks for this amazing information
Youre doing great for the perfumery world. Great content!
Cheers, much appreciated
This is the best tutorial for anything ever!
Thanks 🙏
I used to make perfumes as a kid for family for Christmas gifts. Thank you for letting me relearn this art.
I really want to thank you for this amazingly helpful video perfect for fragrance enthusiasts who want to explore a bit further than what's in stores. Merci beaucoup !
Thank you, you’re welcome
Good information I’ve been blending for 5 years and still continuing to learn. It’s a lifelong journey
❤️
Hardest is always make good top notes for me, as base often smell good
@@AleForFun Funny same here its the top notes which do not last long however they are the initial impressions of the fragrance. It's as if you have moments for that first impression what will result in a possible sale.
Can’t believe that this is free. Thank you!
Someone had to do it!
@@sammacer would you ever consider doing a paid course?
Amazing video.
I didn't know about a few of these ingredient stores, and books... Nice of you to expose them to us.
Thanks so much.
I’m glad you found something helpful
@@sammacer Everything was helpful!! Loved the video idea. :)
I'm not a perfumer and not sure if I want to be one. However, your videos are beautiful and mesmerizing. I can watch your videos for hours and always learn something even if I don't think I'll need that information in the foreseeable future.
Excellent work, please keep it up❤️♥️😉👍
Thank you for the lovely comment!
Wooow this is amazing idea, thanks for sharing such a valuable knowledge with us, Rise & Shine ❤
this was an excellent video, thank you! great tips broken down really well
Thank you!
the best video and so informative!! you are a great teacher
Thank you
As someone who knows nothing about perfumery and who loves to collect hobbies, this was an EXCELLENT perfumery 101 video. Very clear and a wealth of information as well as a direction to more information. Way to go Sam!
Thank you! Good luck with your hobbies :)
Gracias Sam, por compartir tu experiencia y conocimiento en perfumería con los de hispano hablantes.
honestly I've never even used perfume before, because I feel like it is weird thing in the way it is advertised and the price of perfumes it is just insane! (literally just speaking out of my mind, like I said I have never worn perfumes before so I can't really say much) But the idea behind making your own seems fascinating! I can't believe I haven't thought about it before, it seems like such a unique way to smell good and unique. so thanks for the great video, it was pretty complete and even I who has never even looked into perfume got very interested in it, so I might try it in the future since now Im already learning other things and got my hands pretty full with the things I'm doing but it is something I would love to do in the future.. Thanks!
The video is so beautiful in a way i can't believe ❤❤❤
I've never once thought of doing this - and now I'm hooked
What have I done 😂
@@sammacer A masterpiece is what you've done
U are so brilliant..everything in nutshell made my first understanding so easy...wish i saw this before surfing a few others but weren't complete like yours for an absolute beginner.. watching u from Berkshire... would love to learn on..
Thank you!
Fantastic teacher! I have learned a lot again! Thanks so much!
You're very welcome!
Thank you so much for the basic introduction. I want to make a perfume for myself, but I wasn't sure what else goes into a perfume besides the nice smelling stuff. I knew about alcohol, but I wasn't sure if glycerin had to be added, or something else... you made it much simpler for me to go ahead and try. It's for me anyways, so if it's not fantastic, it's okay. :)
I have no idea how your video popped up in my feed, but as a fine artist who has been very depressed about ai art, I needed this today 😌
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Thank you very much. This helps a lot. Great addition to my current knowledge of natural perfumery.
Glad it was helpful!
Bro thanks for this video it helps a lot for a beginner
