Homemade Natural Perfume Recipe - free of nasty chemicals

[@wenkai93]

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.

[@vandanaprasad9216]

wenkai93 How I wish there was a proper demo of this process on youtube

[@andyd1805]

All of this while still blind folded?

[@samia6528]

Step 1: Be blind

Thank you!

[@cindym.9029]

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...

[@judycoleman4364]

Thank you so much. I’m new at making my perfume at l mixed all the ingredients and it has been sitting for 3 weeks and it has not mixed yet. I made a cherry fragrance oil. What l’m doing wrong. Will please help me. Thank You in advance.

[@karamiacat8182]

I use essential oils in my bath and with facial oil, I thought it would be too hard to make perfume but you make it so easy to understand, will rush out tomorrow and stock up on my favourite oils and vodka!! PS I first got interested in oils years ago when I met a lady from Israel who used oils she smelled sooooooh good I had to ask her what she used, I think it was patchouli and rose so I will try that!

[@MyMorsh]

The questions is how long it going to last? For extra tips dissolve all the oil in alfox 200 then it will turn into something called water soluble perfume and then mix vodka. For fixative use some strong oil:)

[@datazngirl]

The correct conversion for a solution is 30 drops per mL. If it's a suspension, it's 15 drops per mL.

[@lunerwerewolf]

Any ideas as to how I can find out if an essential oil is a base, mid or high note? Additionally, how does oil vs vodka change the perfume recipes? And is there a difference in the ratios needed for oil, alcohol, or solid (oil and wax) perfumes?

[@SongOfTheMoon-3SW]

Ela, I am so glad that I found you here! I am a total newbie, just getting started with essential oils. & all that is natural. I appreciate that you give so much detail-written, verbal, & demonstrations! It is very helpful. Thank you for sharing! As for the morons who gave a thumbs-down....how could you?! Get a life, & stop hating, please!

[@familyaccount4369]

[@gristlevonraben]

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.

[@sammmuela6759]

Gristle Von Raben thanks for the info!

[@mmm4638]

Not true I put 10 drops of Bergamonte oil on my arm to smell it never had burning problems Teatree in nostrils and ears non of the other E oils

[@wib6044]

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.

[@MakingPerfumes]

[@Andrew-jv2qj]

Hi

[@wanshanz6754]

Ella, th is is great. I made it and love the smell, but your proportions don’t add up. 3.4ml of vanilla extract is 68 drops, not 55 as you mentioned. Does it matter? Should we do the 55 drops, or the 3.4ml? Also, you mentions 90 drops of essential oil, is that including the vanilla (since you only used 34 drops of ess. oil total)? Thank you for your great channel!❤

[@bananasplit4627]

Alcohol is the main nasty chemical... and lavender is too strong to be used for an everyday perfume. I recommend vanilla, neroli, ginger...

[@sophiemccall332]

And the amount of essential oils used is far too high, it ll burn skin after a while

[@archangelariel1836]

Sophie Mccall what type of oil are you using that burns your skin?👀

[@_archynx_9143]

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).

[@SarahZeeb]

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.

[@sophiemccall332]

@@_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.

[@Demi.d3mi]

The bottle is from the perfume "So De La Renta" by Oscar De La Renta

[@GwendyddStclair]

I feel that you should have mentioned that 120proof or 94% or higher grain alcohol. Don’t use isopropyl it damages oils. Reason vetiver didn’t blend is the proof of alcohol was too low. Some oils like resins may need to be dispersed in a carrier oil 1st like almond/apricot that disperse oil in alcohol easier. .

[@wandasantillo1678]

You mention that one could use volka or Jojoba oil. You mention the amount of alcohol to use for the recipe but you didn't say how much jojoba oil one could use. Is it the same as the amount of alcohol?

[@SarahZeeb]

The same amount but you should adjust the amount of oils to between 20 and 30 max.

[@shahkalam600]

Sarah Zeeb with jojoba oil and Fragrance oil, it becomes oil when you spray it on skin, should I add anything to it to make it not oily on skin

I made a massive mistake using an oil base. Now I know why manufacturers vastly use alcohol because it wouldn’t spray properly as the oil base is too thick so it shoots in a line which is damn annoying. But next time I’ll be using alcohol because it’s consistency isn’t thick

[@nerdninjafy]

Just curious, what is the purpose/benefit of using alcohol as a base? Can you not just put a small amount of essential oil on your skin? And doesn't the vodka make you smell like alcohol?

[@x0summerskiss0x]

Anna Dougherty alcohol traps the scent, second to alcohol is oil. I don't know why, but both substances make the fragrance cling. Water oxidizes and weakens the scent
