Learn perfumery, with the arithmetic shown

Short explainers on the mechanics under the craft. Each one teaches the concept first and then shows the same thing computed, with PerfuMate as the worked example, because a claim you can recompute is worth more than a claim.

• How to build a perfume accordWhat a perfume accord is, why three to five materials usually beat ten, how to dose an accord into a concentrate, and how to test it over time.
• The olfactive pyramid, families and sub-categoriesWhat the olfactive pyramid really files, why strip hours and the perfumer's band disagree, and how families and sub-categories become numbers on a chart.
• IFRA for independent perfumers: what the limits are and how to check themWhat IFRA standards are, what Category 4 covers, why one restricted molecule from several naturals is summed, and how to verify limits before you sell.
• Perfume drydown: what it is and how to read itWhat a perfume drydown is, why PerfuMate draws it in impact rather than grams, and how to read the 0 to 24 hour timeline. Free tools, one-time pricing.
• Perfume dilution: the math, and a calculator that does it for youWhat a 10% dilution really contributes, neat-equivalent doses, and batch scaling to the milligram. PerfuMate does the math; the paid version is a one-time purchase.
