Woodsy Perfume

[@maryyexley1434]

Andrea, I LOVE how calm and quiet you are. I watched another person‘s KZbin video on this same subject, and it was so jarring and had distracting music playing and she was very hyperactive. I really gravitate toward your teaching style. I appreciate this video very much. I’ve subscribed because I like you that much! ❤

[@denisemakuhmierzwa4721]

I thought we were supposed to let the base cool quite a bit before adding EO so as not to denature the proteins in the EO with heat?

[@aromatherapyoils]

Hi Denise! Essential oils can be heated for brief periods of time while you mix your blend with no damage to their therapeutic properties. The carriers actually cool down really fast. It’s when the oils are heated for a prolonged period - like being left in a hot car all day - that is damaging. Hope this helps 💜

Wanda Mazzulo, you could keep this in the refrigerator but it is not necessary. It will set up and turn solid at room temperature and the carriers would determine how long this blend would stay fresh.

We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the video! Recreating scents can be quite challenging and fun! It's definitely a skill. We'd suggest getting a list of ingredients of any product blends you'd like to try to recreate, and if they are using all essential oils, you can experiment by layering each oil 1 drop at a time until you find what works. 💖

I want to try your spray but did not see any mention of witch hazel / alcohol / vodka ~ just asking why. thanks

[@aromatherapyoils]

Great question! The Aromahead Approach is to make products without preservatives and simply make them fresh as needed (with water-based products, that would be every 2-3 weeks). Of course if you are selling water-based products you would need to use a preservative. Hope this helps to clarify! 💜

[@NellieT9230]

Hello Andrea, Thank you for this great tutorial. I would like to know if I could swap coconut oil, shea butter and or grapeseed oil for the jojoba?

[@aromatherapyoils]

Weneal Towns yes you could although the aroma of coconut oil and shea will present themselves and you'll need to be mindful of the short shelf life (especially with grapeseed oil). Some the things I love about Jojoba is that it doesn’t have much scent so it doesn’t alter the aroma of the essential oils you blend into it, and there is no concern of shelf life, where all other carrier oils will have a limited shelf life.

[@NellieT9230]

Fazeela Laher I love that you are looking at natural ways, thanks for your question. Oils can play integral part and in the Aromatherapy scope of practice, we can use the oils to reduce stress, improve sleep, and help people stay healthier by supporting peripheral issues. Since I am not a medical professional, I can’t advise you in this situation. What we can say is that we have a blend on the Aromahead Blog with oils that are known to be very calming and soothing to the nervous system that may help to reduce stress and improve sleep. blog.aromahead.com/essential-oils-for-sleep-nl

[@aromatherapyoils]

Yes, this blend would be lovely to use in a roller bottle using Jojoba as the carrier. Great idea! We would suggest using 10-12 drops of essential oil in 1 ounce of Jojoba. You could try: 3 drops Cypress essential oil (Cupressus sempervirens) 4 drops Juniper Berry essential oil (Juniperus communis) 4 drops Vintage Patchouli essential oil (Pogostemom cablin) We'd love to hear how it goes if you try it! 💜

Hi Andrea. This looks so much fun to make. If I calculate corretly, that's 3 part of carrier oil to 1 part of beeswax, right? And I notice that the essential oils are less than 1%. Usually some other non-aromaterapist youtubers, can put in up to 5% eo. Is it because of the eo you choose have strong smells already and we need not to put much? Thank you!

[@aromatherapyoils]

Hello! Yes, you are correct- we are using a 3:1 ratio of carriers oils to Beeswax in this recipe. For a softer consistency, you could use a 4:1 ratio. When it comes to the number of essential oils we used, we found that 17 drops was perfect to bring balance and harmony in the blend. A little bit really does go a long way when blending with these potent oils. It's a personal preference though, and if you would like the aroma to be more pronounced, you cold safely double or triple the drops in this blend. 💜

[@lindajduffy]

Hi Andrea, I always love your videos, thank you! I wonder if you might have some suggestions for me. I have tried several of the solid perfumes and am about to give up! I follow the recipes exactly, weighing by the gram, and the aroma of the beeswax consistently is the overwhelming aroma I can smell, with the E.O.s fighting to come through. Is there another product that can be substituted for beeswax that doesn't have such a strong odor?

[@aromatherapyoils]

Hi Linda! It's wonderful to hear that you've been working with the solid perfume recipes. We hope you don't give up! 💜 There are a couple of other waxes that you can try using instead of Beeswax if you don't care for the aroma. Carnauba wax or candelilla wax are good options to replace beeswax (and they're vegan!). They’re different than beeswax though, so be aware of that when you’re blending. We don’t have much experience with either, so we can't advise you on the amounts. You could look up recipes to see how you might adjust the amount and experiment a little with it to get the consistency and texture you’re after. You can find carnauba wax at Mountain Rose Herbs: www.mountainroseherbs.com/catalog/ingredients/waxes Hope this helps 💜

[@lorraincassesso1611]

Hi Andrea, just tried this recipe... its wonderful, though I find it little mild... can i increase the quantity of essential oils. If yes by how much. Could you suggest me some strong blends for males and some floral blends for females

[@aromatherapyoils]

Hi Garima Rastogi rastogi! If you want the essential oil aroma to be more pronounced, you can double the amount of essential oils and see how that goes. If you still prefer a stronger aroma, you can use tripe the essential oils. The number of drops is a personal preference 😁 Essential oils that are earthy, herbaceous, woody, spicy, and citrusy are popular with men. Some men enjoy Black Pepper, Cedarwood, Cypress, Ginger, Patchouli, Vetiver while others enjoy the aroma of some of the florals, particularly Lavender, Neroli and Jasmine.

[@GarimaRastogi78]

Aromahead Institute Andrea Butje... thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us.... i have a couple of more queries... 1. Now that I have added essential oils can I re melt it.

[@aromatherapyoils]

LasVegasSpa Girl, I don't have any experience with a scent that emulates the aroma of tobacco. I guess you could always try to place tobacco in some jojoba oil and allow it to set for a few weeks to see if you could pull the aroma out of the dried plant material.

[@anthm429]

Beautiful recipe. May I ask a couple of questions? Can we increase the amount of essential oils more than times three (x3) of the original recipe? I made this today, and it is still not as strong as I would like it. What’s the maximum we can go on this safely? Can we reheat the perfume to make adjustments on the essential oils? Will that ruin our pre existing oils in the perfume? Thank you so much.

[@aromatherapyoils]

Hi Anth! Yes, it would be safe to multiply the amount of oils in this recipe by 3 in order to get the desired aroma. Reheating the recipe just until everything has melted and adding additional essential oils will not harm the existing oils. Essential oils can be heated for brief periods of time while you mix your blend with no damage to their therapeutic properties. The product will actually cool down really fast. Add your essential oils right after taking the melted butter off the stove (just before pouring it into your jars), and your blend will be fine. Be sure to cover the jars right away, so the essential oils don’t evaporate. Hope this helps! 💜

[@aromatherapyoils]

Jojo, yep! It's fun to try different combinations. You can certainly use oils that resonate with you!

[@timelesstalksbysalpi5998]

Can we use cypress as a perfume by wearing it on our wrists or neck? Thank you

[@aromatherapyoils]

Cypress blended in a carrier oil would be lovely to use as a perfume, if it's an aroma that you enjoy and feel connected to. 💜 You could try 10-12 drops of Cypress in 1oz of Jojoba, or any of your favorite carrier oils. It could also be nice to add other oils, such as the ones used in this Woodsy Perfume Blend.

[@timelesstalksbysalpi5998]

@@aromatherapyoils Thank you,so I can’t wear it alone (I mean without a carrier oil).

[@1madhatter2112]

Hey sweet lady! I love this info. Question: Where do you get your Jojoba? It is pretty expensive and available only in small quantities in the health stores near me. Do you have a suggestion?

[@aromatherapyoils]

1MadHatter I do! You can purchase jojoba in varying amounts here at Aromatics: www.aromatics.com/products/jojoba-oil You can reach out to them directly for larger quantities (gallon size): www.aromatics.com/pages/contact-us

[@erlindamonte5544]

at what temperature do you add the essential oils?

[@aromatherapyoils]

Hi Erlinda! We suggest adding the essential oils once the Beeswax is fully melted (usually around 140F) and you've removed the double boiler from heat. 💜

Hello. Which oils would you use to make up a Forest like smell?

[@aromatherapyoils]

Here's a recipe called "Forest Diffuser Blend" that we think you'll enjoy. It smells just like a walk through the forest 💚 20 drops Cedarwood oil (Juniperus virginiana) 20 drops Hemlock oil (Tsuga canadensis) 20 drops Balsam Fir oil (Abies balsamea)

[@deboracadene742]

Andrea, with the hot melted wax off the stove, will the heat of this change the effects of the individual Essential Oils, or are we mostly just doing this for the smells? I was also wondering if this was super hard once cooled, or a little softer. thanx bunches!

[@deboracadene742]

***** Thank you so much for the quick reply Andrea!! So we want to make sure to heat the solids low and slow then, so its just melting, but not super hot.

[@aromatherapyoils]

You'll want to only heat the jojoba and beeswax until it is fully melted, not super hot. Adding the essential oils to the warmed mix will not effect the aroma but some of the oil may evaporate during the process. The consistency will be firm but not too hard, Debora Cadene.

Ran out of jojoba oil do you think i can use sweet almond oil

[@aromatherapyoils]

Hi Lorrain! Yes!! Sweet almond oil has a very delicate aroma and you could be used it in this solid perfume blend in place of Jojoba. Almond oil has a much shorter shelf life (1-2 years) than Jojoba.

[@bossnimbus]

what use Essential Oil in perfume help

[@ladeiroses7526]

How would you adjust the recipe if you wanted to make less?

[@aromatherapyoils]

Yes, you could reduce all the ingredients by half and that would give you a smaller batch, ladeirose S

[@JulienneDesJardins]

***** - like this one. I'm assuming one could use that "lotion stick" container that Aromatics sells, right? And you could just rub on?

[@aromatherapyoils]

Absolutely!

[@jamiebrown2440]

I was wondering how long does the perfume last throughout the day?

[@aromatherapyoils]

You would need to reapply it throughout the day otherwise the scent slowly goes away.

[@hiattfields3783]

Where did you get your vintage patchouli? That sounds lovely! ;)

[@hiattfields3783]
