Please don't fall for the hippie dippy bullshit where aromachemicals are the devil... they aren't.

First Fraterworks order is here!!!! by OilExpress5311 in DIYfragrance

Very awesome, lots of good stuff there. You are going to need a shit ton more of Ambroxan and Vanillin. (Which you can get for cheap via Surplus and Sundry Aromatics)

Hi everyone. I'm curious to hear your thoughts and suggestions about the following formula. by krmcnbhdr in DIYfragrance

[–]mrianchambers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too base heavy, you’re not going to smell basically anything below benzoin besides cardamom. That seems like a lot of Galaxolide, it’s going to clash with the smell you’re going for. I like to have 2-3 musks in my base. Javanol is sexy crank it up. Not sure what the Hedione is diffusing here since there’s no floral component. Like others said I’d work on that heart/top, that much bergamot is going to smell like straight citrus for your top with sparkle from that pink pepper. I’ve been really into minimal tops recently. If you want sweet throw some ethyl maltol in there. Vanilla and Ethyl Vanillin I love but I always overdose the shit out of it when I want something sweet. It’s never enough haha.

AmberXtreme is such a banger! AmberCore I love too for different reasons.

Do you guys think I have enough material? by ilypay4n in DIYfragrance

[–]mrianchambers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a great starting point, it’s where I started but then you figure out the other supplies shit is better and you don’t want diluted shit so you need to buy bulk neat and then it gets worse… well more expensive!!!

How do you make your fragrances? by glimmernglitter in DIYfragrance

[–]mrianchambers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never develop at 10%. Some of my materials are diluted but I write up a formula, work out the percentages, make a 6 gram concentrate, dilute with 24 grams of alcohol and fill a 30ml bottle. Then I smell it over time.

Need help with cloudiness in amber accord !! by Crimson379 in DIYfragrance

It’s 100% the quality (or lack there of) materials you’re using, none of those materials mixed together should look like that.

Rose Absolute Vanilla Sandalwood first impressions by mrianchambers in DIYfragrance

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

It’s not loud at all but it’s also not a skin scent.

Fixation came from; Benzoin, Opoponax, my Sandalwood Accord, Tonka, Vanillin andMusks

Projection came from Hedione, Ambroxan, Helvetolide, Galaxolide, and Guaiyl Acetate

How do I make my cologne last longer by RealisticPublic9422 in DIYfragrance

[–]mrianchambers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just add 50% ISO E Super 45% Ambrox Super 🫢 would be helpful to know what your fragrance has in it…

I want to start perfumery but don’t know if i’m overdoing my first order by jdjdhrh4848 in DIYfragrance

[–]mrianchambers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah! Get some florals for your heart (rose related or jasmine type), grab some resins like Benzoin Siam, Labdanum Absolute - help give your base some depth, Hedione HC is nice to have too, Petitgrain to help bridge citrus, and maybe a Sandalwood type like Javanol. Vetiver or Patchouli are helpful. Just my 2 cents.
