MAKE A ROOM FRAGRANCE MASTERCLASS
Fragrance Materials
Natural materials are defined as anything created by a physical means of
extraction such as distillation, solvent extraction and CO2 extraction.
They include materials such as:

Essential Oils - produced by steam or water distillation or expression
Absolutes - produced by solvent extraction
Natural Isolates - produced by fractional distillation or freezing (in the case
of menthol crystals)
C02 Extracts - produced by Carbon Dioxide Extraction
Most commercial perfumes are made with a combination of natural and

synthetic materials to create standardisation (the perfume will smell the
same with every batch), specific effects and longevity.
Synthetic materials can be nature-identical isolates or reconstructions

created in a lab, They can be molecules that are not found in nature and
they can be what we call "Perfumer's Bases" which are industry standard
accords created by the big fragrance houses to give perfumers a short cut.
When I teach I never use "fragrance oils" as they are often not designed to be
blended together and it is difficult to create consistency if you are swapping
suppliers. If you are a hobbyist there is nothing wrong with buying a
fragrance oil and using it in a room fragrance as long as it is designed and
tested for that purpose. I just prefer to teach using raw materials so people
can have more control over their finished formulations.
In this class we will be using essential oils, some absolutes, and a couple of
isolates. For those with a bit more experience please feel free to add in
aromachemicals - I have included some suggestions in the class.
Safety Precautions When

Handling Essential Oils & Absolutes
Essential oils should always be diluted before use as they can be quite
irritant if used neat.
Always mix with a carrier before applying to the skin and always patch test
first in case of sensitivity.
Never apply to inflamed or broken skin.
Clean all spillages with absorbent material such a kitchen roll and as a
precaution do not place materials on polished or plastic furniture as they
can cause permanent damage if spilled.
If you do get essential oils on your hands, please wash immediately to

reduce risk of irritation – do not rub your eyes.
If you accidentally essential oils in your eye - Flush with copious amounts
of milk for at least 15 minutes and seek medical advice if symptoms
persist.
If accidentally ingested - Rinse mouth with milk and seek medical

attention.
Use common sense and do not eat or drink when handling essential oils
Do not take internally.
If pregnant seek medical advice before using.
Keep essential oils away from children and pets

Materials For This Class

On the next page, I will give you some ideas of combinations that work
well together for different moods or rooms. In your resources guide, I gave
you a list of materials that work well in room scents and I will create a
demo formulation during the class but I'd like you to have a think about
the type of fragrance YOU want to create. Once I have shared the process
you can then apply that to any type of fragrance in the future.
If you have attended my other live zoom classes you will know that I start
with a plan and might add in other things on the fly depending on how the
fragrance turns out - you are literally looking over my shoulder and
following my thought process. I feel it is more valuable for you this way and
I resist giving finished formulations.
It is better that you take what we do in the class as a starting point and
modify it to your own taste using the methods I share. This means that
every person in the class will create something totally unique even if they
use the skeleton formula.

Creating Accords
One of the things that stumps most students learning perfumery is what
materials work with each other and how much of one thing is the correct
amount to blend with another.
The more materials you put into the equation the more complicated it
becomes so keep it simple to start with.
Accords are like the building blocks of your fragrance and starting with
accords rather than trying to create a whole fragrance formula in one go is
a bit like breaking down a job into manageable chunks.
A specific accord could be created as the central theme of the fragrance –

for example a floral bouquet of rose and jasmine to create the heart of a
fragrance. Say you want to add a green note to the floral - An accord could
be created with a few green materials and then added to the floral heart.
How about some soft woods for the base – an accord of woody materials
can be created. Each accord is blended to be harmonious in its own right
and can then form the building blocks of your finished fragrance.
Experimenting with accords is a great way of building up both your

knowledge of how materials interact and building a library of
combinations for future use (your own mini bases if you like).
Evaluating Impact
1. Choose 3 materials of similar volatility - i.e all top note/mid notes or base
notes
2. Dip a smelling strip with each to assess their compatibility
3. Notice which one jumps out the most
4. Notice which are the most similar
5. When starting to blend your accord start with the 2 materials that have the
most similar impact
NOTE: Materials with a higher impact should be used more sparingly in accords
with materials of a lower impact unless you are going for a specific effect
Blending
1. Start with 1 part each material of a similar impact

2. If one dominates too much add one part at a time of the other material until
a desired result is achieved
3. Once you are happy start to add your third material
NOTE: There are some notes such as the spices which are quite powerful and
should be only used in small quantities as an accessory note.
If you have one of these materials in your 3 you may need to scale up the
amount of your blend before starting to add the third material.
Keep the ratio the same but just make more volume. This will enable you to add
a smaller amount of the third
