Do not forget

to write down

the individual

steps for your

formula so

that you can

recreate the

perfume later.

FREESTYLE PERFUMERY

Now for the greatest challenge in perfume

creation: the free style combination. This

method is the method most often used in

the development of classical perfumes or

eau de toilettes. Begin with a large amount

of the Basic Perfume Oils to which you

gradually add more perfume oils.

> Materials from the kit: all 8 perfume

oils, measuring cup, stirrer, Finalio, flacons

or mini flacons, funnel, pipette

> Additional materials: pencil,

notepaper, smell strips

Experiment

1. Decide which type of perfume you

wish to compose. To do this, review page 24

where you will find the different fragrance

descriptions.

2. Select a fragrance direction, for

example Lemony if you wish to get a fresh,

citrus perfume, or Tropica if your perfume

should have a pure fruity note.

3. Put 20 drops of the first oil of your

choice into the measuring cup and check

it with a smell strip. This is the starting

fragrance note.

4. Where would you like to take it

now? Sniff the other bottles if you can’t

remember their fragrance precisely.

5. Once you have decided, add the

second perfume oil drop by drop until you

have reached your goal for the fragrance.

6. Now you can add more perfume oils

according to the same procedure.

7. When you are sure that you have

achieved the optimal fragrance, it is time

for Finalio. If your perfume seems too

oily or it is difficult to spray, carefully add

Finalio drop by drop.

Professional Tips

> Smell carefully at each step and write

everything down. Take a break for at

least three minutes when the perfume

oils begin to smell more and more similar,

or when your composition does not seem

to change significantly any more.

> Add only one perfume oil at a time until

you smell the desired change.

> Using more perfume oils does not mean

that the perfume will be better. Limit

yourself to a few oils per creation.

> Add Finalio only after you have

completed your composition.

> The more often you test the result with

your nose, the more certain you can be to

achieve your favorite perfume.

> The final smell testing of the finished

perfume, diluted with Finalio, must be

done a few times. Allow at least one

minute between tests. Your nose will

refuse to recognize any further variation

in the fragrance until after the pause.

> After enough practice you can increase

the volume per perfume creation by

beginning with a larger quantity of the

Basic Perfume Oil, for example 20 drops.

> If you want your perfumes to be made

exactly for the flacons in the kit, you must

do a little calculation. Your parents might

help you with this. Here is the important

information from which to calculate

the quantities: 30 drops of perfume oil

or Finalio are equivalent to about 1 ml

liquid. You can find out the capacity of

the flacons from the contents list.

> With more experience, you can design

perfumes with less frequent smell tests

and breaks. This protects your nose so

that you can work longer without a

break.
