Custom Fragrance Blending for Your Brand

Thank you for your questions regarding creating a unique fragrance for your cosmetic brand. Here are the answers based on the information provided:

1. Difference between "A-Z" and "Components" Categories

The categories on bescents.com differ in their composition and intended use:

• Components (ส่วนประกอบ): This category contains individual aroma chemicals and ingredients. There are over 1000 items, each providing a single scent note. These require specific storage conditions and are primarily intended for experienced perfumers, universities, and research institutions who blend these individual components to create complex fragrances.
• A-Z: This category consists of pre-blended fragrance bases, grouping various individual components to create a broader scent profile within a specific category (like floral, woody, etc.). These are developed to be more convenient for formulators to use in creating fragrances, as they provide a combined scent profile rather than a single note. This is why the "A-Z" category is available for testing in the lab, while the extensive "Components" category is not.

Some names may overlap if an "A-Z" blend is named after its dominant scent profile, which might also exist as an individual component.

2. Guideline for Blending a Masculine Woody/Smoky Scent

To create a masculine fragrance with a prominent woody or smoky character using ingredients from bescents.com, you can follow this guideline:

Start with a classic fragrance base, as suggested, using floral notes like Jasmine Petal or Jasmine Fresh, Muguet Shiseol, Mayol, P-enamel-7 -ol, and Rose Petal or Rose Blossom. Adjust the ratios of these florals to achieve your desired underlying tone.

Then, introduce the woody and potentially smoky elements. Consider adding fragrances from the woody category such as Woody & Earthy or Lost in Forest. For smoky notes, you could explore options like Birch Sweet Oil or Cade Oil. These ingredients will contribute to the base and middle notes of your fragrance, providing depth and longevity.

Blending Technique Tips:

• Understand Fragrance Notes: Fragrances are typically composed of top, middle (heart), and base notes. Top notes are the initial impression, middle notes emerge after the top notes fade, and base notes are the longest-lasting foundation. Woody and smoky notes often form the base or heart of a masculine fragrance.
• Start Small: Begin by blending small quantities of your chosen ingredients. Use droppers or precise measuring tools to control the ratios.
• Experiment with Ratios: The key to creating a unique scent is experimenting with different percentages of each ingredient until you achieve the desired balance and intensity.
• Allow to Mature: After blending, allow the fragrance mixture to sit for a period (usually a few days to a few weeks) in a sealed container away from light and heat. This maturation process allows the different components to meld together properly.
• Dilution: Once you have your concentrated fragrance blend, you will need to dilute it in a suitable base for an EDT (typically 5-15% fragrance concentrate in alcohol or a non-alcohol base).

Remember that blending is an art form, and it may take several iterations to perfect your unique scent. The ingredients mentioned are suggestions, and you can explore other woody, earthy, or smoky notes available on bescents.com to customize your blend further.
