Hi Dave.
Would you do a video on masculine and feminine AC?
Everytime I do a trial, it always ends up being super masculine. I cant seem to get a feminine scent.
What would be a common denominator or materials used in feminine perfumes? Because when you look at some formulas with famous feminine perfumes, they use things like cedar, civet and ouds. Im guessing in small amounts but when I do a formula, I get a sharp masculine scent. Help?

Thank Dave. Love your videos! Could I ask what you tincture with? Is it with perfumers alcohol or with everclear?

Could I make a leather tincture with leather cuttings?

Leather accord is easy: Labdanum 1, castorium 1, Indoll 10% 1, and a phenolic smell like thyme 1. I have a problem, I have labdanum absolute and labdanum resinoid, I don't know the % of dilution. I have them both at 50%. I believe it way too much for a leather accord, do you think that the correct dilution for absolutes are 10%? Thank you

Dave I have a question. Do you sell Lovage tincture? If so would you please quote price of that and Sweet Tobacco accord as well.

Hey there sir. I think i am still not ready for making a leather accord from scratch for my artisan house (All frags handmade by me, i don't have employees) and i think i would need to get some leather accord from The Perfumer's Apprentice and a Rose accord as well... For a modern complex, frag, like a very realistic modern, shiny leather, or a red, deep, realistic rose.

However, i have ordered some birch tar, and i think that i could use it as a Polo green kind of smokey leather, would you add something to the tar for a certain effect, sir? I also have a typical mexican originated resin called copal, which i assume is quite similar to resinous vetiver or benzoin / styrax in its smell... What do you recommend me?

Or how would you create a kind of Givenchy Gentleman (EDT 2017 Nathalie Lorson / Olivier Cresp) or CH Men Privé Leather? A modern, realistic leather? I await for your answer, thank you and i hope you have a great day
