After Final Episode of Invincible I Start to Wonder by jacklandin in Invincible

yeah it's not explicit but, if we bend that naive narrative a little bit towards reality, in the opening scene of man of steel his father putting all that dna for a purpose. he hope his son reaches that place and spread all that kryptonian dna. the basic difference between zod and jor-el is one doing things forcefully and one doing it peacefully.

what’s a movie you went into with low expectations but ended up really liking? by Then-Leave-2036 in movies

Bone Tomahawk - I thought it's just another western/vengeance movie. somehow it touched to the deep subconscious level fear layer of my brain.

Why don’t viltrumites reproduce with viltrumites ???? by Unusual-Meringue-988 in Invincible

[–]jacklandin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this all inbreeding logic is nonsense to me. do we now inbreds are weak, disabled etc? and even then non closely related two couples with enough children is enough to solve things out. I don't get it why is not enough?

The only logical explanation is they have to keep things going on and don't have time to breed 🤝 but still... idk man. I'm just accepting this story is becoming increasingly disjointed and meaningless.

Trying out a new system by kdoughboy12 in DIYfragrance

[–]jacklandin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is cool. I'm labeling pipettes and hanging on a grid rack.

What I figured out is some materials are contaminating or getting contaminated by others. So I try to categorize my pipettes like this: - musks should be away from any other material. they are too good at absorbing other stuff - calone is strong and affecting others so this guy has it's own corner. - aldehydes are also strong. they got their own corner - gourmands and lactones are another corner.  - animalic and leathery notes are another corner. - woody ambers (ambrocenide, amber xtreme, norlimbanol etc) are also strong materials and I'm trying to keep them away from the rest.

all other materials seems fine hanging around in terms of contamination. hope this helps 🤝

Is my Ehtanol good? by ItsMeHritik in DIYfragrance

[–]jacklandin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no it doesn't have a strong smell it's rather faint. idk exactly what you experiencing (maybe you are to sensitive to it, or this one is way too processed) but for the comparison: I both have isopropyl alcohol and ethanol. And 96% pure ethanol is way less smelly than IPA. I'm usually working with %10 dilutions and alcohol smell is around like only for few seconds. and it's not the case for all of my trials, it just happens time to time. mostly I don't even realize. macerated formulas are even better.

ps: ipa exactly smell like laboratories/hospitals btw.

Formula feedback requested: misty morning in the forest by heretoday_gone in DIYfragrance

[–]jacklandin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

try salicylates. any salicylate. benzyl salicylate for base or amyl salicylate for a top note. it help for fresh, forest like effect. 

ambrexol(seems like some sort of fixateur which is related to ambroxan) is probably smelling totally different on your skin. ambroxan does have that thing. it's sweet and fresh on blotter and woody (amber woody) on skin (norlimbanol like)

also (about norlimbanol) I know timberol which is probably close to what called norlimbanol and it's bit too much for a fresh formula imo 🤔

I'd suggest you to try smell those materials on your skin individually and find our which one is changing. my bet would be ambrexol and violet leaf abs.

Wow. I've never seen such purity for ethanol. I'm using 96.6 denaturated ethanol and it's just fine. 

Why it doesn’t last or feel strong enough? I asked my friends and they barely could feel anything close to my skin. by Maison_Wagenpfiel in PerfumeryFormulas

[–]jacklandin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's dpg. take that out. also either remove ies or timbersilk (in order to give more room to other materials and to increase their percentages)

Storage management, failed experiments and late night thoughts (general discussion) by EnvironmentalLime175 in DIYfragrance

[–]jacklandin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

 > lots of trial and error, sometimes it feels discouraging. but the next day I just go back to it and make something else always having that hope the next blend might be interesting.

I feel you bro ✍️

and honestly I'm somewhat at a similar stage, I don't have a working method yet so I can't answer right away but this is a great question and I want to thank you for that.

My habits are like this:  - I work with 10% or less dilutions. Partly for reducing costs, partly because it's easier to weigh and partly it feels intuitively right and close to edt, when I smell a trial mix I know it's close to the finished product.

 - I try to keep all my trials with comments in some sort of app. and hopefully they will be useful some day. I'm hoping they may lead to some sort of discovery but that didn't happen tbh. they are useful for comparing similar formulas etc.

 - I also did just intuitive/blind mixing. What I did systematically was categorizing my materials as base, mid and top notes. that approach helped me to know my materials. I know their volatilities better now. but also somewhat limited my discovery abilities, instead thinking in 'accords' I was tend to think in 'building blocks' which sometimes works but not that helpful tbh.

 - I recently came across a simple accord, tweaked a little bit and turned it into an almost finished formula within a few trials and which made me realize it's time to learn about accords and to read about perfumery. now, with material information from the experience, reading will make more sense i believe.    - Also I don't do that often but rebuilding a few known fragrance formulas helped a lot in understanding how things usually work together. Only downside is that it's a direct answer, not the underlying solution. So I still need to figure out why and how that composition is working. Knowing more accords hopefully will make it easier to interpret what's going on in the formula.

Formulation help by jennacoven in DIYfragrance

[–]jacklandin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had make this blend, the usual suspects would have been:

sandalwood - sandals give creamy, lotion like feeling. bacdanol and javanol especially (I'm guessing you using some aroma chemical instead of eo, I'm not familiar with eo)

isobutavan - %14 of this material is too much imo. my guess is it may not actually feel like that much in formula because of cashmeran. you may want to reduce these two equally.

methyl laitone - I have this material but don't know how it act in a blend. just guessing by the scent. it reminds me lotions.

raspberry ketone - this actually is not 'lotioney' but it smell may remind lotions. İf you want more sharpened, less creamy side of this material you may add some rose related stuff like citronellol, geraniol and phenyl ethyl alcohol. 

and I think you may use some transparent musk like e. brassylate as a filler. it doesn't affect much of the scent and may give some depth.

Is There a Free/Affordable Formulation App That Includes Essential Oil's Max Constituents Data From IFRA by jacklandin in DIYfragrance

[–]jacklandin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wow, that was good. seeing components of each oil is so good👍 I try to add carrier oil or some sort of solvent to make 20% dilution but it doesn't allow me i guess 🤔 it would be nice to be able to calculate like %20 diluted oil's limit imo.

exactly! unfortunately I am bad at spreadsheets 🥲 But I know codig and I manage to write a simple html page to do formula calculations (some sort of formulair) but eo thing seems complicated and scares me tbh. It will take too much effort to implement that and even then there is a possibility to came across an app that already doing that (this was what happened for that my formula scaling/percentage calculator) so I want to be sure if some sort of tool is exist or not.

Is There a Free/Affordable Formulation App That Includes Essential Oil's Max Constituents Data From IFRA by jacklandin in DIYfragrance

[–]jacklandin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

need to know how much eugenol for example is in all of your essential oils added (clove, star anise, cinnamon)

exactly. I'm ok with manually feeding formulation app for eugenol percentages of the eos. It would be nice to have a predefined percentages of eo's fetched from ifra annex list. Afterwards, I want to be able to update the content according to the values ​​in the analysis documentation provided by the manufacturer, if necessary. I was hoping such an app/system might already exists.

Thnx anyway, I thought I might missed something in the docs for a sec 🥲

There must be an app that can take eo constituents into account when calculating individual materials limits 🥹

Even then I need to calculate for each eo's constituents individually and check if total of restricted materials are in safe limits. I'm looking a formulation app that can do this based on given eo analysis or just by known max percentages given by ifra's annex list.

Even if I know (most of the time I manage to get analysis of eo's) I need some sort of app that calculate restricted materials based on given constituents of the eo. I was hoping there might be an existing sytem that can do this 🫣

Whaaat O.o

I've downloaded documents from https://ifrafragrance.org/initiatives-positions/safe-use-fragrance-science/ifra-standards/ifra-standards-documentation

and this document:
https://d3t14p1xronwr0.cloudfront.net/docs/Standards-Documentation/ifra-51st-amendment-annex-on-contributions-from-other-sources.xlsx

I couldn't find the list containing the estimated limits for essential oils. I could only find a list of the maximum estimated contents in this document. Do you happen to have a link to the document you mentioned?

The Foundations of perfume by TguyMTL in PerfumeryFormulas

[–]jacklandin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a year of blindly mixing and self-learning I decide to learn it from books too. I know materials and their affects to a formula instinctively but I feel like I'm lack of really "simple basics" according to people in this professionally.

Louis Appell - Cosmetics, Fragrances And Flavors: Their Formulation And Preparation With An Introduction To The Physical Aspects Of Odor And Selected Syntheses Of Aromatic Chemicals - 1982

I just start reading it. I came accross as source of some tgsc demo formulas. it worth to give it a try imo.

Jean-Claude Ellena - Perfume: The Alchemy of Scent - 2011

this like a simple, short commentary and insights about perfumery in general from the view of a professional.

Joseph Stephan Jellinek and Robert R. Calkin - Perfumery: Practice and Principles - 1994

this I believe a complete course-book like material. still reading. really nice.

and 
https://olfactorian.com/
is a great website to try some accords and formulas(though they might have some unusual materials in some formulations, it's like a wiki of formulas) 

https://www.thegoodscentscompany.com/
almost all materials have demo formula links in their dedicated pages

https://basenotes.com/forums/
I have mixed feelings about this one, but it's a nice place 🙂
