@perfumers_apprentice: PART 3: Common mistakes and how to avoid them. After two days of compounding basics, here are the mistakes we see most often: 1) Not taring your scale between materials — this throws off every measurement after. 2) Adding top notes first — they’re volatile, add them last. 3) Rushing maceration — your fragrance needs time to marry. Give it at least 48 hours, ideally 2-4 weeks. 4) Working with dirty equipment — residue from the last batch will contaminate this one. 5) Not keeping records — write down everything. Your future self will thank you. #Compounding #PerfumeMistakes #FragranceTips #PerfumeFormulation #PerfumersApprentice
