Why I use dilutions & how to increase perfume concentration

I have synthetic Ambroxan crystals but really don't know how to dilut it

Hey Sam, do you find that there’s a significant difference in aroma chemicals that typically don’t have much of an aroma even in pure concentrated form like hedione, iso super or galaxolide when diluted down to 10% or so?

great video sensei !

I don’t get any of this am going to throw all my materials out this numbers thing mashes my head up I can’t hack it sends me in a rage. Am out of this hobby

thank you for hopefully coming up with something for windows and for the spreadsheet info. good video as always.

Thank you very much! Very important and valuable content.

Absolute legend, Thanks for this. Took a while to learn some of the functions of Excel, but have a cool little scaler spreadsheet. Much appreciated

Im still learning new things about formulair and it surprises me every time, i can tell how much work has been put into your app

Much needed!!

Muchísimas gracias por todos tus vídeos. Descubrí tu canal hace poco pero para mí toda la información que compartes con nosotros es algo muy valioso. Con tus vídeos puedo aprender mucho más que con los cursos presenciales . Te deseo todo lo mejor! Saludos

Hi Sam , Big fan of your work.
Just wanted to ask one thing , can we use Reconstituted chemicals inplace of Natural Oils, have you tried experimenting with those? I was looking at ones at Firmenich

When i tried to dilute ambroxan crystals in EtOh, it simply wouldnt dilute, it kept benig crystalline, do you know why and how to make it dilute? 😂 Was 0.25g Ambrox and 1.7g EtOh, thanks!

Question, are you considering making your formula program available for Android/windows as well? I see you're only able to use it if you have apple products.

Keep going bro keep building

That ISO E Super stuff is really synthetic... I'm surprised you would use that -- other than that I love your videos! :)

when making a new perfume formula is it appropriate to dilute any material in ethanol?

Love your videos! I have a (hopefully not dumb) question. I’m just getting started and am currently looking at scales. I looked up the weight of a drop of ethyl alcohol and it’s apparently 0.039g.

If a 0.001g scale is needed, is there a way to add raw materials in quantities smaller than 1 drop?

Can you please share excel template. Thank you

Hey,
Sam please can you make full video about
1) what is concentration and dilution, pre dilute.
2) and about how to calculate 10% 20%. We can't understand this video please make a full video. Like you make formulair app
3) And like we take hedione so we have to pre dilute so we take 1g hedione, 9g alcohol so it's make 10percent. So How can we make 5kg hedione to 10% make this video.
Please sam I've watching your video from past 1 year and you're help a lot. please make this type of topic in one video.

do you have an online course that can be purchased? i love the way you have presented the many notes of the whole of perfumery, from the molecular structures to the patient processing of smelling to the careful composition of a personal accord, and on and on and on. it doesn't hurt that your voice is lovely on the ear. hope this comment finds you well! thank you for sharing all your knowledge!

Please release formulair for android 🙏

Thanks for afford, could you have active spreadsheet for download on window?
thanks.

Newbie question, if I am using a solvent that isn't alcohol (DPG, etc), can I use the same logic of shuffling around the solvent into it's own category to get my "alcohol?" Or are materials diluted in other solvents locked in at that dilution and I shouldn't assume that I can add them into the same group as alcohol diluted materials?

Sorry if this is a repeat question, where can I buy denatured alcohol tsda sd 40b you said about in UK? You don't sell on your shop.

There’s option for me to “superchat” or send a “Thanks” to you… and no “buy me a coffee” link. That makes me sad. I want to send you something for teaching me math!

😢😢😢

💋 Promo sm

Enjoyed and learned a lot! I hope the app is avail for andriod users as well. It is very convenient and I hope I could get to use it as well in making my perfumes. Thank you so much!

Do you have a link for this spreadsheet? :)

Thanks to all of ur video, it helps me a lot. I'm just a beginner of this world.

Hi, thanks for your amazing job. Can we have a copy of this excel?

How about 100% material in powder form. Should i include in the formular as 20% dilution or in 100%

A very good video, thank you! You explain it really well.

I do have a question/comment; why don't you make 1, 10 and 20% dilutions? Then you can use the 20% for the EDP final product. And with the 10 and 20% dilutions, don't you have a big difference in terms of how the fragrance turns out?

Thanks a lot! I copied the table and now I have no questions about assembling the concentrate)

thanks for sharing all this information sam <3

Thats helpfull and amazing! But, im still confused, so we use the pure essentials oils instead the dilutions for EDP then???

By using which perfume oil/ solvent I can use for 1 kilogram concentrated perfume oil turn to 4 kilogram???

thanks bro,i too need to learn production n take it to another level.i really need yur help to take me through but i am still astarter.

Thank you so much for this information!!!!!!

Thank you for taking the time to explain the math behind it all – I have the Formulair app, but I still watched to the end to try to learn the logic, because I am one of those people who hasn't used math since high school....AND failed math class all through high school 😅

So what do u do when the fragrant and/or essential oils dont blend or dissolve in the perfumers alcohol? (Its small particles of fragrant oils at the bottom)
And why does that happen?

So basically predilutions are for developing and pure raw materials for producing

Confused about 1 point but great video asides from that! You scaled everything X10, from 10% to 100%, and from 1% to 10% EXCEPT Isoamyl you kept at 1% and so wouldn't the formula NOT be totally proportionally correct because Isoamyl would be weaker in the end formula?...

Do you have an app for android too? It won't let me download it..

So, basically Isoamyl isovalerate became 0,01% instead of 1%, right?

Thank you Sam, I was looking everywhere for this exact kind of explanation and couldn't find it. Very helpful for anyone doing trials with diluted RM and wanting to use a higher concentration in the final perfume.

Hi Sam, firstly, I'm learning a ton from your channel. Thanks. With regard to this one, I have a question/comment (maybe someone has asked this). In the calculator example, you correctly add up the RM based on the dilution but then in the lower section of your spreadsheet the amount of alcohol assumes that material is pure. That is, the alcohol weight is based on the total desired amount minus the concentrate amount. However, if one were to mix with the dilutions, there is already alcohol in there. Shouldn't this be subtracted from the desired amount of alcohol? Again, thanks for your work.

why not just dilute at 25% or 50% with softer notes, more efficient

Still pray that formulair come to android🙏

What if we make Ambrorome Absolu %0.1 dilution, not %1. I mean is it doable to make %0.1 dilution?
