Making perfume: THE MYTH OF THE NOTES PYRAMID

"Is says there's daisy in it. Have you got any daisies?" - Modern perfume formulas rarely resemble the published "notes lists" and people new to perfume-making are going to be disappointed if they try assembling a fragrance from the website description. With modern materials, what the brand team calls a top note, the perfumer might call a base note. Anyway, you don't have to put top notes in a fragrance, really you don't. It'll be fine. You can find out how I use the solar system method of making perfume by watching this film:    • Making Perfume: THE SCENTHUSIASM SOLAR SYSTEM   This film is all about the fundamentals of perfumery:    • HOW TO MAKE A PERFUME - A BEGINNERS GUIDE   All this and more at Scenthusiasm our global community of perfume makers on Patreon   / scenthusiasm   If you'd like to follow the self-study online course with example formulas to make up, visit https://scenthusiasm.school/ - Scenthusiasm®️ is a registered trademark. If you'd like to explore the fragrances we make or join one of our workshops, visit http://www.4160tuesdays.com The film was made by Arthur McBain, who has worked at 4160Tuesdays since 2014 between acting roles. You really want to look up his and Owen Jenkins' podcast, At Your Peril. That's Arthur I'm talking to in all these recent films. That scarf is a vintage Pucci, bought from Bowler & Betty in York. That book is Perfumes of Yesterday by David Williams available from the publishers https://www.micellepress.co.uk/Poy1.html Instagram:   / 4160tuesdays   Facebook:   / 4160tuesdays   Among the materials I talked about were Romandolide - a musk that's a top, mid and base note - Hedione and Hedione High Cis, Clearwood, Norlimbanol, Framboise - which smells like Pez, not pears.
