How to Make Perfume with Essential Oils

A. Part One of Two (Learning the Basics)

1. Learn the order of oils. When making perfume from essential oils you’ll need to follow
an order, you start with a base oil, then have the middle tones, then finally the top notes.
The top notes reach our sense first, but dissipate quickly. The middle notes are essentially
the “heart” of our fragrance. The base notes are often a more invigorating scent like pine,
musk, glove, cedar wood, sandalwood, etc.
2. Use a dark colored bottle. This is important because a dark bottle will help preserve
your fragrance by keeping the light out. Make sure you shake your perfume before you
apply it so that the scents mix together. When storing your bottle, try to keep it out of
direct sunlight. You can also use a roller bottle for essential oils.
3. Allow the scents to meld. A perfume made out of essential oils may smell great right
away, but overtime the scents may combine to something that doesn’t smell very
appealing. Allowing your perfume to sit will give you a better idea of what your
combined scents will smell like for the majority of the perfume’s life.
4. Know the benefits of essential oil. Essential oils are also good for people with sensitive
skin or who react negatively to perfume products. You can add a drop or two of a natural
fixative or extender if you want your fragrance to last longer.
B. Part Two of Two (Making Your Perfume)
1. Add your base note. The first step to creating your fragrance is adding your base note.
 For a fresh and energizing perfume add 17 drops of grapefruit oil to your perfume
bottle or roller bottle.
 For a romantic and floral blend, add 25 drops of rose essential oil.
 For a sensual and earthy fragrance, add 20 drops of sweet orange essential oil.
 2. Mix in your middle note. This is the heart of your fragrance, the smell that appears after
your top note has dissipated.
 For a fresh and energizing perfume add 14 drops of ginger essential oil.
 For a floral and romantic blend add 10 drops of lime essential oil.
 For a sensual, earthy fragrance add 15 drops ylang ylang oil. Ylang ylang is an oil
derived from the cananga tree, and is known for it’s rich floral scent.
3. Add your top note. Finally, your last main addition to your perfume is the top note,
which will fade quickly but will be the first scent that you smell when you open up
your perfume.
 For an energizing, fresh blend add 10 drops of vetiver essential oil. Vetiver is a
bunchgrass that is native to India and is often used as a flavoring agent because it
creates a thick syrup. It also has fixative properties, which are what help the
fragrance of the perfume to last.
 For a floral, romantic perfume add 10 drops of vetiver essential oil.
 For an earthy, sensual fragrance add 10 drops of cedar wood essential oil.
4. Experiment with your scent. If you have created a great scent thus far and then messed
it up with another oil, don’t fret. You can add a drop of orange oil, which supposedly
helps cancel out other perfumes.
5. Add alcohol for a preservatives. This step isn’t necessary, but can be helpful if you
want your scent to last longer. You can use any type of alcohol for this, but you may want
one that blends well with your scents. Some people choose vodka because it is relatively
flavorless, but a spiced rum might be nice.
6. Shake your perfume and use it. After you have added all of your ingredients to your
fragrance, shake it up. This will allow the scents to fuse and mingle. Then, if you are
patient enough, let it sit for about a month before you use it. You can use it beforehand,
but the scents will become stronger as it sits and the alcohol scent will also fade off.
