Perfume Question
I have a Perfume question maybe someone can help me. I have 50 g of a neat Perfume creation how much perfume alcohol would be required to make it a 25% EDP. Is there a formula that I need to follow that will help me figure this out? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

There are also numerous apps/software out there than can help you or even Excel spreadsheets. You need to understand how it is calculated but software is helpful especially when you have diluted materials in your concentrate so it will also take that into consideration.

@Stanley Miller plenty of free stuff (to a degree) out there as well. I use a combination of spreadsheets and software
Tinctures
I’m looking for any reputable recommendations for tincture suppliers, especially vanilla.

@Josh Kessler I appreciate that and will keep that in mind. I have 4 vanilla tinctures running now.

@Josh Kessler that sounds awesome. I don’t have the setup to go beyond tinctures

@Michael Salazar it’s fascinating to me. Maybe one day. I have 4 vanilla tinctures going since you convinced me lol
Perfumery
So I have a completed formula, the smell itself is amazing but I'm having a problem with it not lasting over 4 hours. Has typical fixatives like ambroxans/ musk/ isoe/cedramber for example. Im figuring the problem is too much of a certain aroma chemical. How do you go about finding specifically which one (or multiple) it is

@Donovan Brady your formula is not short on any long lasting materials, but those are not all "fixatives" in the traditional sense, like benzyl benzoate or benzyl salicylate are. Other materials you have listed can be perceived as fixatives but they are just longer lasting with their evaportaion profiles. What carrier are you using? Did you let it sit? Just taking a look at it quickly on paper, I'd think there would be a projection issue as everything is heavy. When it is too heavy, it can be muted/flat, To answer your question directly about identifying, it is a process of elimination. I'd either remove one at a time or halve one at a time and see if there is any change.

@Donovan Brady hard to say without having smelled it. Just pick one and go. Things can still change significantly well past a week. Out of curiosity, why the 5% dpg?
Vanilla Tinctures
I thought I'd share this Excel sheet I put together that is focused on the different types of vanilla. I have gone down the vanilla rabbit hole now.
