i newly join the perfumery, i would like to learn and make perfumes for export

Hey everyone. Apologies for being MIA. I am almost done moving from my old studio into my new warehouse space. As soon as I am all moved in and situated we will be doing more regular posts and activities. In the meantime, please feel free to comment or post yourselves and don't forget to get your access to the courses and start expanding your knowledge!!

Can someone help me with the math. I’ve got both of these usually add like .1 to a 100g formula but o want to just add it to my solvent for when I do dilutions etc. I’ve got a bottle of solvent a little under 1kg. How much do you guys add to yours?

Since it is unbearably hot outside this week, I figured we might as well embrace it. 😂 This week’s challenge is a little more abstract. Rather than recreating the smell of a flower, food, or traditional perfume structure, we are going to try to recreate a physical sensation through scent. THE CHALLENGE: CREATE STEAM Think about stepping into a hot steam room. The air is thick. Warm. Humid. Almost heavy. Moisture hangs in the air and collects on every surface. But what does steam actually smell like? Technically… not much. And that is exactly what makes this challenge interesting. Your job is to use aroma materials to create the illusion of hot, humid, expanding air. We aren’t necessarily trying to create a beautiful perfume. We are trying to manipulate how someone perceives what they are smelling. THE RULES You may use a maximum of 6 materials. Your accord must include: 💧 1 material for humidity or moisture 🔥 1 material for warmth 🪨 1 material for a mineral, earthy, or structural quality 💨 1 diffusive material to help create the feeling of expanding vapor 🧪 Up to 2 additional materials of your choice And there is one major restriction… 🚫 NO EUCALYPTUS, MINT, OR MENTHOL. We don’t want to make a “spa” accord. Those materials also introduce an immediate cooling sensation, while our goal is to communicate HEAT. WHAT ARE WE LEARNING? This exercise is about olfactory temperature, texture, and atmosphere. Perfumery isn’t always about making something smell literally like an object. Sometimes we use materials to suggest things that don’t actually have a distinct aroma at all. Can something smell wet? Can something smell hot? Can something smell dense? Can something smell like it is floating through the air? These are all perceptions we can manipulate through composition. 🔥 BONUS CHALLENGE Try creating your steam accord without using a traditional aquatic material. Post your formula below and tell us what each material is doing in your composition! There is no single correct interpretation. I want to see how differently everyone translates the sensation of STEAM into scent. ♨️🧪
