How To Make Perfume Like A Pro + Recipe Included! Perfume Making Tutorial

[@DiffuserDudeAromatherapy]

Thank you for this video! I am in Aromatherapist school and I just received my first bottle of perfumers alcohol. This video answered my questions and confirmed what I thought I already knew. The visual of the 3 types of alcohol was perfect! It was nice to SEE what happens instead of everyone just saying “dont use it”.

[@fathersons579]

Informative

[@angelicasoh86899]

Everclear 190 at 95% alcohol could be use just like Perfumer's Alcohol, if you're making them for yourself, it has barely noticeable scent ( just don't get anything lower than Everclear 190 at 95%, the less the alcohol % the more you will smell the alcohol) All drinkable alcohol has more or less water, if you have something like Gin with 47% alcohol shown in her video, that means the Gin has 53% distilled water in the liquor bottle, that's why it's causing oil separations. The cloud up sometimes is due to the water and the oil, sometimes is due to the oil itself if the essential or fragrance oil is less pure, and sometimes it's just the type of oil. To me clouding isn't a huge issue for, and my customers didn't mind it at all.

[@blood_sausage9620]

@@angelicasoh86899 hi, whats the reason for using everclear? Im assuming its more cost effective but do ppl actually prefer it?

[@angelicasoh86899]

@@blood_sausage9620 For people that like to find a easier available option as Everclear is more readily available than perfumer's alcohol. Perfumer's Alcohol aren't available in many cities, and I had to have it shipped from the US, or across the other side of Canada, but if course if you are using it for your business, perfumer's alcohol is a better option. I always give my local customers an option, between the perfumer's alcohol versus the Everclear, since I only make them fresh, when orders are placed. I list the lngredients for perfumer's alcohol versus the Everclear, many of them still prefer Everclear, as many of my customers prefer the least processed option. So it really depends on what you or your customers prefer really.

[@katherinerath9439]

Thank you for this video. I am an amateur perfume maker but have had very good luck using the perfumer's alcohol when using synthetic perfume or fragrance oils and the Everclear - 190 proof grain alcohol - when using essential oils. You can truly make an all natural perfume if you use real essential oils and Everclear because Everclear is made from grain. One additional recommendation is to purchase an inexpensive, small stick or emulsion blender to blend your concoctions. I found that this really helps to mix the perfume oils or essential oils with the base very quickly.

Hello, I want to make perfume, can you share your recipe with me, please?😊

[@amandapittar9398]

Thank you for doing this. I had a heated “discussion “ with someone who claimed that “any high% alcohol” was adequate for perfume. I said not. I said that the alcohol had to be denatured and specially made for perfume/eau de toilette etc. Otherwise anyone could make perfume from cheap high % vodka. I now feel like sending them this link to explain! Really appreciate your videos and your tutorials as well thought out and clear& concise. It’s such a pity that the items you recommend are prohibitively expensive for us in NZ - cost + 100% for p&p. Still inspiring!😊🌟😊

I appreciate the time you took to make this video. Been trying to formulate body sprays and perfumes. Have had a lot of trouble with milky solutions. Tried the rubbing alcohol before watching this video and while it finally stayed clear, it smelled sooo awful! Definitely switching over to perfumers alcohol.

[@SYEDIHTISHAMULHAQ]

How do u avoid that milky nature of solution. And when it stands still for sometime the oil again accumulates on top means it doesn't stay dissolved. Any solutions

[@edencash5237]

I love your videos! Thank you for being so clear and open with your tutorials.

[@angelicasoh86899]

If you use Everclear 190 at 95% alcohol there's barely any smell, and dissolved just like Perfumer's Alcohol. If you use water or less pure or certain types of essential/fragrance oil being used, it does separate that's why you need a binder, if it does separate on low alcohol % like your Gin at 47%. The lower the alcohol % the more separation you get and high in odour. An alcohol of 47% Gin has more than 53% distilled water in the Gin, which causes separation like seen if your video, which then you need a binder due to the high water level content in the Gin you use. Perfumer's alcohol also does have a slight smell to it depending on how it's been denatured, processed, and the alcohol %, but close to odourless as Everclear 190 Proof 95% I find, especially with the most common Perfumer's Alcohol. I've experimented many essential oils and fragrance oil with these, and or mixes of the different alcohol, Without water, where some essential oil or fragrance oil does cloud up, but I find higher quality ones are less likely to so. I've previously used other vodkas, and some do separate oils, becomes cloudy and with a vodka scent, with low alcohol % base. If anyone wanted just to make their own fragrance at home if perfumer's alcohol isn't available, only use "Everclear 190 with 95% alcohol" is the only one I do recommend, close to odourless, and does not cloud up on good quality essential/fragrance oil, which you maybe able to find at your local liquor store. Although others have indicated Everclear 195 also works, but we don't have it available here in my city, so I couldn't have a chance to experiment or say, if they do or not. If you don't get the True Everclear brand of 190 of 95% alc ... I can't guarantee the smell and outcome of other brands may not be the same. I also find the lower alcohol % has a very strong scent which is off putting, unlike high alcohol content of Everclear 190 95% alc. , which is barely noticeable.

Hello, Can you give advice about perfume notes! Top, heart and base should be which fragrances? Or it depends on the taste? Thanks

[@luq3513]

Thanks my dear for showing us how to make perfume I still learning

[@clarissacarson5078]

If you’re making your own scent with essential oils should your fragrance oil/ fragrance oil blend be diluted (with fractionated coconut oil or something) first?- before adding it to the alcohol base? Or is the alcohol base all of the dilution it needs? Or does this vary depending on the oils used?

[@MEAJJEKL]

I'm not an expert so this is just my guess, but I would imagine that it can't hurt to dilute the essential oils first. They will be all that remains when the alcohol evaporates and depending on the oils you use, that can cause photosensitivity or things of the like. There may be a need for an emulsifier for the added carrier oil, but it is better to be safe than sorry.

I’m seeing that others use everclear which is 1% higher in percentage then the 94% gin (proof unknown) that you used. Not to add everclear is a grain alcohol & high in proof with little to no smell and not as diluted as a vodka. I was curious and experimented with the everclear that I have shelved and oils because I make soap and as I’m adding the oil I can smell the fragrance before mixing. I used 20/10/15 (three scents) and mixed. Which came out perfect and no lingering smell. The reaction with everclear would be absolutely different from using gin and just as clear as the 99% rubbing alcohol. So with the 99% alcohol, you’re speaking on the smell, couldn’t you add more fragrance oil to dilute the smell?

[@alvinedwards434]

I watched another video and the gentleman recommended using Propylene Glycol as a base. Thoughts on this vs Purfumer's Alcohol?

Fragrance oils are for candles, soaps, etc. Pure essential oils are used for perfumery ok. Perfumer's alcohol is correct though. When making perfumes, never use more than 20% pure essential oils per volume of bottle, ok. When made properly You don't smell the perfumer's alcohol ok. As it evaporates off of the skin super quickly. All major companies around the world follow this practice. I repeat never use fragrance oils for perfumery ok. Just buy pure essential oils people.

[@Kiesha-o6v]

❤Thank You Sir

[@mostafaezzat7511]

You mean by fragrance's oil using another fragrance in making a perfume?

[@wib6044]

There are specific products known as fragrance oils that are designed for the purposes he outlined above. There are really mini perfumes made with some of the same materials used in perfumery. However, they are not designed to be used as perfumes in the traditional sense. At the concentrations used in perfume can be unsafe to apply to the skin. They are meant to be used in small amounts to add scent to products used scent in the the air or be washed off. For perfumery you want to use specific aroma molecules and essentials oils designed for use in perfumery. Even then, there are guidelines and restrictions to consider.
