    THE Right Percentage Myth

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses that there are no fixed right percentages for ingredients in perfume formulations. It advises trainee perfumers to start with average percentages for common ingredients but that the right percentage depends on the perfumer's goals and sense of smell. Some ingredients have high impact and are effective in small amounts, while others can be used in higher levels without compromising the formula. The key is understanding each ingredient's impact rather than overthinking percentages. The perfumer's nose should ultimately decide the right amounts.
