Hello,

I received one new formula, the sender told me is one of the best !!! I like to share it with you and also i have some questions about this formula:

12 Drops Lemon
16 Drops Apple
13 Drops Jasmine
17 Drops Bamboo
10 Drops White Rose
17 Drops Cedar
13 Drops Amber
15 Drops Musk


When i calculated, i found total of 113 Drops. My question is:

1- This formula is by Drops or Parts, because 113Dops is too big ?
2- How to reduce for small Qty like 10ml ?
3- How to know from Formula if it's for men or for women ?

I'm waiting your suggestion and have a nice day.

Thanks.

First off these are obviously pre-made bases and we don't know where they are coming from - so we can't help too much with that.

Otherwise:

1. You need to weigh these drops because each material is going to weigh differently depending on how thick it is. 1 drop of "apple" may weigh half what 1 drop of "bamboo" weighs. That will give you a formula based on weight.

It doesn't matter what the weight it - use percentages to calculate - so if you have 17 grams of one material, and your total is 113, do this maths: 17/113 = PERCENT (in this case 0.15 or 15%).

2. Use maths against your percentages to get the 10gram quantity (work in weight not volume). 15% of 10 g is 10 x 0.15 = 1.5g

3. Blend it and smell it and make an executive decision as to what you want to market it as :)

Problem 1: Perfumery is done by mass, not by volume.

Problem 2: You are using "fragrance oils" or similar, which are not viable for perfumery.

Problem 3: There's no such thing as a "male scent" or "female scent"; there is only marketing. Advertise your scent however you want.

This "formula" is complete garbage and of zero use whatsoever.
