In the 90’s, when I apprenticed to several fine fragrance (creative) perfumers, part of my training involved making line extensions from their fine fragrance formulations. It wasn’t uncommon for formulas to contain over 150 ingredients, some at trace amounts, all the way out to the third decimal place. Maybe one percent of an ingredient in a fine fragrance formula now needs to be five percent in a candle formula to give the same effect. Months of stability testing and evaluation go into the process. Once I had a handle on these details I was able to use my creative skills to fine tune and calibrate each ingredient until the scent profile matched the original scent, with fewer ingredients. I’m not suggesting that only perfumers with a strong technical background can create a creative masterpiece, but I am saying that technical mastery is a key component of creative perfumery.
