ScentCraft

The software I use to formulate my perfumes. I wrote it myself.

The web version, with a teaching formula: a rose accord published on Olfactorian.

The main pages

The same pages as in the video, still, with a teaching formula: a rose accord.

The formula
The formulaEvery line with weight, dilution and real percentage, the pyramid note and the link to the material sheet.
The raw material
The raw materialThe molecule in 3D (here rose oxide), ready to rotate, with its functional groups, physical and chemical data and odour profile.
IFRA check
IFRA checkFor each product category, the maximum limit allowed for the formula and the material that sets it.
EU allergens
EU allergensThe ones to declare on the label, worked out from the composition of the materials, with the source of each.
Performance
PerformanceHow the formula splits between top, heart and base by boiling point, compared with a reference profile.
Odour atlas
Odour atlasThe character of the formula on a wheel of families and descriptors, with the main notes.
Simulator
SimulatorI move one ingredient and immediately see how the odour character changes, before weighing.

Why I wrote it

As a software developer, I wanted to see the numbers behind every choice: how fast a material evaporates, how much it really weighs inside a dilution, where the limit is. So I wrote ScentCraft, and today it is the tool I use to formulate and check every perfume, Tears of Memories included.

  • Raw materialsMore than eleven hundred materials, synthetic and natural, each with its own sheet: the structure, in 3D too, the physical and chemical data, the odour profile, the IFRA limits. Every value says where it comes from.
  • FormulasWeights, dilutions and real percentages, line by line. The IFRA check runs while I type, and the allergens to declare are worked out from the composition of the naturals.
  • Before weighingHow the formula evaporates, the drydown hour by hour, tenacity and radiance. And a simulator: I move one ingredient and immediately see how the character changes.

Coming soon

ScentCraft is not on sale yet: I am finishing it and it will be out soon, on computer and phone. If you would like to be notified when it is out, write to me.
