This gives me the tare weight, the weight of the column itself, and I'll record this weight in my notes. To calculate the weight in grams of one milliliter of my fragrance oil I'll use a graduated measuring column, in this case a small, ten milliliter column. (See my video for setting up an electronic balance.) But first I must measure the weight of one milliliter. I'll just multiply the weight of one milliliter of my oil by 135. I must now calculate the weight of 135 ml of my oil. But what weight? How many grams of my formula must I produce to yield a volume of 135 ml? When I produce the formula itself, prior to mixing it with alcohol and water, I'll produce it by weight. I need to produce 135 ml of it but my formula is calculated in percents of weights of my ingredients. (You can read why I used de-ionized water in this article.) NOTE: I measure the alcohol first because then, when the same measuring cup is used for the water, it will "wash" away any alcohol that was left in the cup and pour it, with the rest of the water, into the bottle. Then, using the same measuring cut (without washing it), I'll measure out the 76.5 ml of water. I'll measure out the 688.5 ml of alcohol first and pour it into the bottle that will hold my finished perfume. I'll use a 1,000 ml household measuring cup. Now comes the issue which has led to this article. Since the alcohol I have on hand is 100% (200 proof) ethanol and I want a 90% (180 proof) alcohol, I'll blend alcohol and water as follows. So now the project lays out like this: For production I'll need. To be on the safe side and allow for a few spills, I'll bump up that quantity to 900 ml. This means I'll need 870 ml of the finished fragrance (30 x 29 = 870). It involves less weighing and eliminates the need for extremely accurate (and expensive!) measuring tools.įor this current project (which is basically an educational exercise as at present I have no plans to market this formula) I've decided to fill 30 29 ml (1 fluid ounce) bottles. For small scale production such as mine, measurement by volume is more practical. NOTE: Production of a mass market fragrance might well be by weight, perhaps by tons. Why? Because when I produce my finished perfume, I'll want to produce a particular quantity of it and that quantity will be specified in a volume, liters (or milliliters) or gallons (or fluid ounces), not by weight. Having developed a perfume formula with dropper bottlers and then converting the drops to grams and percents, I now want to calculate the weight in grams of a milliliter of my fragrance.
