Re I actually made a perfume!!!!!

[Guest guest]

I actually made a perfume!!!!! I am strictly a novice at this but really...

I'm so impressed.

I was diddling around and thought what the hell. Let me try. and I actually

got a very nice perfume. It smells great hours later and, incredibly, someone

wants to buy some. What do I charge?

HI Georgia

I can't give you any advice on what to charge since

I've never done it yet. But I did want to congratulate

you on getting a winner first time out. The stuff I

made when I first started blending was mostly crap.

And I am still capable of making some pretty crappy

stuff, but the ratio of good to crap is getting better

all the time. You must have a gift!

All the best!

Pretty crappy stuff, LOLOL That is too funny! I have some pretty

crappy blends too, more than good blends. It's so heart breaking when

it doesn't come out as expected. All those precious drops wasted. A

good one always comes out of it eventually. Made a really nicely

balanced blend last week. Put it in a 7ml sprayer (first time using a

sprayer) and it lasts a really long time. My problem has been getting

a blend to last more than a few hours. I could still smell it the

following morning.

Georgia try getting a program to estimate the price of your

ingredients. I use soapmaker for this because I also make soap. It

will estimate a price for drops although it might not be pin drop

accurate, it is pretty close and once you figure your cost for the

blend you can adjust it from there. There is also another program,

can't think of the name, having a brain fart at the moment but I think

I saw it in the links section.

Patty, I can relate to that. You are improving which is good.

Congratulations to Georgia for your sucess. As for me, well.... ((

Thanks Suzanne for your kind words earlier. Again, if anyone can provide

any advice for a Giorgio BH type blend??

thanks

Hi Poh Yee,

I'm brand new at this, so I don't know any blends, However, I received a

sample of Jasmine Absolute and it smelled so much of Georgio that it

surprised me. I got the sample from Snowdrift Farms.

http://www.snowdriftfarm.com/

Now, I've heard since then that there are better absolutes for Jasmin,

however, if you want to start there, I know that one smells a good deal

like Georgio. It's also VERY expensive.

Good Luck! Please post your progress.
