I had a perfume blending lesson in Grasse, France last year where I learnt how to blend a harmonic perfume. First you need to be blind-folded and choose the base note you like. Then you choose a variety of body notes and drop some on test papers (the ones you get from perfume shops). You put the test paper together with your base, see if they go together. Then you blend your base and body together, and repeat the test-paper-process with top note.

As a Perfumer, you NEVER use Vodka! Use Perfumers Alcohol Denatured. THAT is why you have a filmy, foggy look to your perfume...Research before you tell others how to do their own scents. I GUARANTEE your perfume will not only go sour, but the fragrance will fade very quickly! Trust me, I learned by THESE MISTAKES, and that is how we learn...

Sorry but the drops are too many for such a small bottle. The recipe you posted would be okay for a pint of alcohol, or two cups. Tangerine and other citrus oils can burn skin at those amounts, and cinnamon and cloves and nutmeg can burn skin at one drop per cup, so you have to use micro drops and dilutions. But it sounds like it would be a great perfume.

Actually it is not. That’s like a 3.5% concentration, maybe 4 ish with the vanilla. The vanilla is a tincture. So hard to tell. I’m not saying this is how you should make a perfume. But from what I can tell they are within recommended limits. I’m not sure what limits on tangerine are. But 4 drops would be about .100g. That’s like .5% which should be fine.

@_archynx_91435 жыл бұрын
Sophie Mccall If you are having any burning sensations, I would go to an allergist to see if you have a possible allergy to it. Essential oils shouldn’t burn, but it all depends on your particular body and how it responds to high concentrates of natural substances. Just because it’s natural doesn’t mean it can’t harm! If you have sensitive skin I would recommend only using a base oil and scented oils. (No alcohol).
@LizzyAnna5 жыл бұрын
I believe she was referring to the chemicals that don't belong anywhere near our bodies, but companies use them anyway. Yes I do agree that is too many drops for that bottle. Lavender is perfectly fine for an every day perfume. Some essential oils do burn if you don't dilute them properly like cinnamon, clove, oregano, ect. They are considered "hot" oils and you should follow the max derm limits when using them. Same goes for citrus oils.
@sophiemccall3325 жыл бұрын
@@_archynx_9143 I'm a professional candle maker and perfume maker, you can only have up to about 5% essential oil take for a perfume that goes against skin due to the nature of the essential oil. Fragrance oils are much better, allowing 10% for a perfume. It's not about my skin, it's about legal requirements and how safe the perfume you're making is. This, unsurprisingly, isn't that safe.
