ubure Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Hi there, I'm asking myself how several of those smaller companies can do dupes of FOs (or aren't they small at all?)? Does anybody know what the process of duplication a fragrance is like? I just cannot imagine how they do it...or do they have computers that analyze the scents? Have a nice day,ubure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctfavr3 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) A target sample is aerosolized and is analyzed via spectral analysis to determine the base aroma chemical constituents of the fragrance. It is the replicated using those aroma chemicals (or similar) at the hands of the perfumist/chemist often substituting via trial and error until finding a blend close enough to the target sample. From their a small batch order is made based on this new scent formula with the the aroma chemicals being compounded with the fragrance house's base carrier oil (DPG, PG, DOA, etc) This new target is often mailed back for customer evaluation. If it meets their approval -- the newly created scent is then ready for batch processing. Edited June 6, 2014 by rctfavr3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a FEW...companies that can dupe a fragrance for free but most require a min purchase of 25#. Save on Scents and a few others only charge a nominal fee. I'll start a thread for anyone interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some oil from Bert that I just totally love. Wish she was still in business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubure Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Yes, I'm well aware of those companies...I only cannot afford 25 lbs of one single fragrance, that's the problem. I asked out of curiosity and of course won't buy a spectrum analyzer (even though I have googled them, You CAN of course buy such machines and I guess they would pay off after a few fragrances). Have a nice week all of you! ubure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
