Experience the Sensory Magic of Crafting Your Own Signature Scent!

Although developing your own smell can be intimidating, the process is rewarding once it is finished. You can create it to your exact specifications and preferences, in addition to having total control over the ingredients. I'm going to give you some information that will probably take you months to understand, so consider it a comprehensive guide on perfume making in the United Arab Emirates.

Why make your own perfume?

We all have individual tastes when it comes to fragrances. Some like citrusy, some flowery, I specially love the hardcore Oud based. So, in this way, not all brands can cater all needs, also just for info we at GOR Perfumes look for people who love Oud and Musk and we pride in this Arabian Legacy. But sometimes you just want something that is unique to you and something that's very dear to you. In that case, it would be amazing to walk on a journey that will forever take you to a land of bliss, that if once reached, you would never want to come back.

Ok cool, I'm ready. So how to get ingredients being in UAE? 

UAE is indeed the best place to show your fragrances but the materials or the ingredients can be a bit challenging to get here in small quantities other than the traditional ones. But I would definitely recommend one place more than any other which is authentic and the best of quality i.e. ( Pellwall ). This place has everything, right from resinous materials to oils and various versions of an ingredient, depending on how it has been extracted. This place will suffice all your needs for sure.

But do you actually know what you want? How will you know from where to start? 

For this, I would suggest getting a few of the very common ingredients first as follows: - 

Would definitely recommend the book 'The Alchemy of scent' by Jean-Claude Ellena.  He is the nose and crafter behind many famous fragrance compositions in Gergio Armani, YSL, Hermes and many alike.

What if I just want to know the basics and create something best out of my little knowledge?

Then, I would suggest getting a One-on-One appointment with OOLA LAB at Alserkal Avenue in UAE. I believe they are quite professional and have good knowledge on synthetic and natural mixes. 

 

Can I just learn to make a specific fragrance and replicate that using a set of ingredients?

Oh, of course, you can definitely. There is a website known as Creative Formulas that has all the fragrance listed by image. You can buy the ingredient list of that fragrance and just focus to buy those materials only.

Amazing!! I have everything now. By the way any current offers on what you are selling?
