Making a fragrance can be fairly hard, every ingredient you add changes everything else in some way and every new ingredient you work with adds more complexity you have to grasp. And, I underistimated how messy/stinky it can be. It’s not impossible of course but I’ve made some fragrances I thought were decent, and yet I always felt like there was something that needed to be tweaked, even though I’ve gotten compliments on a few. In the interests of not taking up too much space in the thread I’ll just refer you to my posts in the Parfum section of the forum some of my thoughts on fragrances
