use more musk and blend with heavier molecules

Ready made perfume compounds (AKA - perfume oils) are not meant for perfume. Don't expect to buy a "Aqua Di Gio perfume oil base"...and then simply add alcohol and have it magically be like the real thing. Generally these 'ready made perfume oils' are an 'oil based' product which doesnt work well for alcoholic spray applications....but may work well in soaps and candles....

That's fine for water....which isn't really in perfumes. You'll find that many perfumery materials have different molecular weights and different boiling points, and not all materials are the same weight. A perfect example would be to weigh 50g of labdanum absolute, 50g of galaxolide, and 50g of Hedione. Then take these and put them all into tall beakers to measure it's 'milliliters'. You'll find that none of these will be at 50ml. This is why I can't stress enough....to ' Get A Scale' if you plan on doing Perfumery the right way.

@@bkscents7050 yes thank you

Yes, glass bottles are fine. Preferably dark colored...but make sure the caps are air tight. Don't store them in dropper bottles

@bkscents7050 thanks a lot 🙏🏾 💓

For me it works and crimps just fine. However the tricky part is getting the sleeve over it all without disturbing the crimp you just made. I find sometimes slipping the sleeve ring over disturbs the crimp seal, and I have to start all over again

Hi Sam. Where did you get yours from? I bought mine from plush folly and it works fine. It was about 70/75 quid x

@@goodimoh7157 I got mine straight from China. The one from Plush Folly looks like it's for snap-on (crimp-less) caps rather than regular.

@@sammacer yeah it's a snap on one . Pretty good too

I think he shared a video about that, you need to check another video

All is good my man! How's the Corona life treatin' ya?? You miss the gym?

I wouldn't worry to much about it. Perfumes are mostly alcohol (80-90%)....I have fragrances I bought from 10 years ago that still smell fine to this day

Personally, I wouldn't. Unless you really soak the bottle in alcohol for a few days to get it really clean, maybe you could. But don't reuse the cap. Use a new cap once the bottle is cleaned.

All my crimpables i got from Alibaba. You have to chat with a few suppliers online from that site to see whos willing to work in small quantities. But i have made a few deals with them in getting an order of just 100 bottles. But it really depended on the bottle type, for some factories have ready made bottles ready to ship and those are the ones who most likely are willing to do a low MOQ.

For trial makings, I let it sit for at least 48 hours after its diluted down to the EDT/EDP before smelling it to evaluate it. But once a formula is finished to my liking, and i start filling bottles... i tell everyone to let it rest for 2 weeks before using it. If the scent fades out rather quickly after letting it sit for a few days, its not really because it hasn't sat long enough....it just means your formula isn't finished yet and you need to re-work it until your satisfied with its scent and performance.

THANKS

So, 7,5 grams of perfume and 42,5 of alcohol? I am right?

@@MARTIN-hs2by yes you are correct 👍

@@snowmanstreaming But is different for example 15% concetration if my materials are diluted to 20% or to 50% for example. So what dilution is correct to work with?

Just fill bottle up with alcohol, make sure atomizer fits without alcohol spilling. Depending on size of atomizer it will displace more or less liquid. The Boston round amber/blue bottles have thick tube, and neck so they displace more than thinner perfume style atomizer tube. (Leave a little room, for density variations too. A gram of orange oil will displace more volume than a gram of sandalwood. You don’t need much, just a few millimeters. If you made a batch of diluted orange oil by weight and a batch of sandalwood spray by weight, it will look like you didn’t fill up bottle of sandalwood as much. It is not much, but that little air bubble that floats around when the bottle is sealed will look larger on the one with heavier oil.) Take weight of alcohol - let’s say 30 grams. Divide By 100 - 30➗100= .3 Multiply that number by percentage you want. 20% .3 ✖️ 20 = 6g of juice. So 24 grams alc. 6g juice. Don’t just assume 30ml bottle will hold 30g of liquid either. The 30ml I have only hold just over 24 grams. With that style of atomizer. Definitely fill bottle up first and work out displacement and fine tune it. Then you can pre dilute larger batches based on those numbers and fill your smaller bottles with pre diluted formula.

It depends. If you are using A LOT of naturals in your perfume or using a 100% all natural perfume materials only, it may change the scent to a degree. You have to remember, when filtering... your taking out all the fatty materials, sediments, etc...and those all contribute to smell to some degree. But if you are only using 'some' natural materials along side with a lot of synthetics, it shouldn't be an issue

@@bkscents7050 thanks for the enlightenment

@@bkscents7050 hey, could you tell me why many perfume don't smell like alcohol? While i made several of mine alcohol smell still exist even in a long time

What kind of alcohol are you using?

@@bkscents7050 isopropyl alcohol 96% denatured

a lot of absolutes result in a cloudy perfume. My oakmoss, narcissus, seaweed etc.

@@GoodtoGaia that's what a filter is for. Some of the plant materials are still there after hexane extraction or co2 I know labdanum has some junk particles you have to filter out.

@@GoodtoGaia that's why doing a 50/50 dilution with filter helps but you will need to re-weigh to see how much was removed to have a solution to use. But not all have that reaction just the tar colored ones. However lotus absolutes don't really have that problem

Yes I know what filters are fir. You said you were confused because your compounds don’t have cloudiness. Depends on which compounds you use. Some have more sediment than others and need filtration.,

Actually, Ylang Yalng will always be cloudy, as will Pink Pepper...there are many naturals that will always product a cloudiness (even with no sediments/particles) when diluted with Ethanol

Well there is a trade off. Crimpless aren't as air tight and are subject to becoming loose over time and could possibly leak. But you do get the benefit of taking the cap off and refilling the bottle

@@bkscents7050 oh bad. I readed that Lutens and some other famous brands, used this crimpless method, so I thought it was fully safe, and I was thinking to order some of these on rose-heinze. So you suggest me to go with normal crimped sprayers so, and to don't try with crimpless

I actually have both. Just remember that the crimped version is pretty permanent.

@@bkscents7050 Thank you!

I wouldnt know...i dont have a scale and im almost out of "perfume oil", lol
