  Perfume help

  Posted by Fekher on January 2, 2020 at 10:49 pm

  Hi all , i’am working to make long last perfume , so by reaserching i get that many reasons will effect the last of perfume :  perfume essences quality , their level of use , using base note as sandal , patchouli , using fixative : glycerine , dipropylene glycol , MPG, … 
  And i read that even process will effect the last of perfume : as making it as much as possible in dark place may in fridge also .
     So i tried many experiences to get better results but still looking for the best so any perfumers here or someone else can help ?
   Thanks in advance .

  You’d better surf a perfume especific board like
  http://www.basenotes.net/forum.php

  But I can tell you that using fixatives doesn’t make a cheap copycat perfume last nowhere near as long as an expensive perfume with the proper base notes in it.
  Combining different fixatives seem to work best, but it’s no silver bullet.

  @Gunther thanks a lot for help i agree with you about the  importance of essence quality however in my country there are a low cost perfume (means 10 dollars for a litre ) that can be last more then 24 hours. So the aim is making such product wich is for me high quality with a low cost .

  I dont make perfume but my interest in scents lies in making fragrances that  attach to hair and skin and have staying power. It is not easy considering that my products are used in the shower. I’ve had to study micro encapsulation of fragrances, and I am about to begin my trials with various polymers.    

  I found basenotes.net is a good start but with very little real information. 

  Make yourself a list of interesting fragrance compounds and include all information necessary such as logP, vapour pressure, mol weight, flash point… etc

  Another excellent ressource

  I also believe (and I could be wrong) that fixatives are not as crucial as I initially thought at the beginning of my research into fragrances. I think the nature of the base note is more important. 

  Anyway, if you do want to look at fixatives, heres a starting list for you

  Glucam 20
  Isopropyl Myristate 
  Benzyl Benzoate 
  Benzyl Salicylate

  @Cafe33 @Perry  @ngarayeva001 others   by making reaserchment I find that also isopropyl palmitate can be good fixative and verifying vapor pressure value it seems logic so have any one idea about it?
