It’s just a real treat to be able to watch my favourite perfumer talk about perfume & teach whether this makes sense to anybody else I think you’re a gangster of love
Very important discussion! Dosing the right amount is the key! As incense maker, it is very complex for me because some notes totally suppress in burning while some change their character.
Don’t make it harder than it has to be is a great mantra. I thought I was making a terrific blend by putting lots of stuff in it, but as we know, I just made it kind of muddy and bland and not what I wanted. I will consolidate a little more time.
The abruptness with which a formula can go hideously wrong is one off the more irritating parts of perfumery. It's like building a house of cards, and then one wrong move and it explodes and bursts into flame.
These videos are great but sometimes you skim over the ingredients really quickly and it is hard to hear what you are speaking about. Can you repeat the names more or subtitle the name of the ingredient when you speak about it?
If you would tag the times where you can't hear clearly, then I will write it out for you. This is actually me going slowly. In earlier films I spoke faster.
A load of wisdom in this video, a lot of which I needed to hear at this moment! Thank you!
Thank you. I do enjoy a good chat.
This was a great video. I love hearing your insights.
Thank you very much. I love talking about what I do.

Thanks, I'll take that.
Excellent vid Sarah. I learned a shedload!
I see what you did there.

Yes, it's even more complicated when you use different media!

Maybe Hedione could give it clarity, but otherwise yes, keep it as simple as possible.
Enjoyed this, thanks both of you
I hope to make this official perfumery language.

You are absolutely right. And at that point it's best to stop and start again, not to throw random things at it to see if it can be fixed.
I like Dylan Blue better without a sprayer. I prefer a spray instead of a roller.
I'm not sure I've smelled Dylan Blue at all.
