If this perfume was to be a colour, it would be blue. Mint blue. Although in this dilution of 5% it is more of an Eau de Cologne, rather than a perfume. It wears as light as it looks,...

Most regular visitors of this forum will know them, I think, my two blog websites with perfume formulas. For almost 10 years I've been sharing a large part of my formulas with the community on the...

Thank you, that is my old site, but still very usable ;-)
My latest free demo formulas however are always posted on perfume.sparla.com
Enjoy.

During GC/MS all individual aroma molecules that compose a essential oil will reveal themselves individually in their given amounts. So it will be easy to pinpoint essential oils used, based on the...

Matt, don't make the mistake assuming that what TGSC lists as 'synonyms' are always actually the same products. Differences can range from isomer ratios up to totally different mixtures.

Labdanum resinoid can be hard to dissolve in ethanol, so can be mimosa absolute. Musk keton is well known for insolubility in ethanol, one normaly uses benzyl benzoate.

You might get some inspiration by these 5 sample formulas, all including leather notes:

On the contrary, running a GC/MS on the mixture will reveal all the individual aroma molecules. Doing a reversed lookup on the database from essential oil university, using a spreadsheet that takes...

Hi Rainperfume, depending on the materials you are using, dilutions between 0.0001 and 50% are common. For example, Geosmin should be diluted to something like .0001% to be workable and something...

Try this: take two vials, and add to
vial 1: 10% Musk ketone + 1% vanillin
vial 2: 1% vanillin
After 3 days, does vial 1 smell different to you compared to vial 2?

I think so, it looks like it a lot. However i use .1 mm teflon PTFE from the plumber store and @PSH and @CP seem to use a little bit thicker tape.
I wouldn't recommend re-use, since best results are...

Yes they are, but some of them I have only small amounts left, like AG1 only 2 milliliter.

I’ve contacted Susan of CreatingPerfume and she is working on Aquaflor. :)

Hard to evaluate without knowing the amber accord and quality of the naturals; but for a first glance i would think double or even tripple the top notes *). I can imagine it will become 'clogged' by...

Seems i got the aquaflor directly from Bedoukian. I will ask Susan from CP if she can stock it.Thank you Sober for finding an alternative source. It truly is a remarkable and useful aroma chemical.

@RSG, @bsouthers : I thought i got the Aquaflor at CP, but I have to look it up in my lab. I can’t find it at the CP website now indeed...

Regarding you could try Ambrocenide. Did wonders for me.
Happy perfuming,

No CGMS but a free formula that demonstrates a long lasting citrus:
https://sites.google.com/site/perfumerecipes/perfume-recipes-and-formulations/if-myrtle-and-citrus-freshness-explosion

Take the 4ml batch and add a few milligrams a time every couple of days evaluating in between, until you rate it perfect.... no waste.

Kephalis (i think Givaudan, lasts >80 hours on a blotter) could help you reconstructing a fresh cigar scent.

The phthalates (...in DEP...) are seen by most as a health concern.

If it must be natural try spikenard with natural woods like cedar and sandal.
if it can be synthetic try Firmenich Oud 10760E

Thanx :) you’re welcome.
Always nice to hear ;)

No idea about issues and if you are allowed to sell it, but it's absolutely usable and far better than vodka or any lower alcohol percentage products.

I would try methyl ethyl ketone, 3-pentanone maybe combined with rum ether.
Happy perfuming

Nice one and nice suggestions about impact & vapour pressure of the materials :)
