Today we shre a perfume tricks for who want to make perfumes, first we must tell you we are not the profess to be an expert on perfumery, we started making homemade perfumes not so long ago, please makesure you have the Sensory Perfection, Gracefruit, The Soap Kitchen, Plush Folly, these are the perfume Ingredients that must need, now we record all that I know about blending perfumes and sharing them for you, you can make your own customized perfume and decide what goes into it as well. it will continue to learn as I go and hopefully become better in the process.
1. Use fragrance oils (which are artificially created in a lab and cost around £2 to £5 a bottle) rather than most essential oils (which are pressed from flowers and fruit and are much more expensive – a 500ml bottle of rose essential oils can set you back £800). Orange, other citrus and some herb essential oils (Kirstie used bergamot which is a citrus essential oil) are generally cheaper so it’s worth comparing prices.
2. Create your blend by mixing a few drops of oil on a piece of cotton wool until you are happy with the mix. It's a case of trial and error, but Sally finds it helpful to group her notes: floral, woody, green/fresh, fruity, Oriental (spicy) - and have a balance of each of them.
A good blend of different notes gives a perfume structure and depth, which makes it last longer.
3. Once you've created your blend, dilute with perfumer's alcohol. For an eau de toilette blend, go for 10% perfume oils and 90% alcohol. For a stronger parfum blend, go for a 20/80 ratio.
So, for a 50ml bottle of the suggested eau de toilette blend above, you need 5mls of perfume oil blend (35 drops of each of the four notes) and 45mls of alcohol.
NOTE: that some oils can cause allergic reactions on the skin, so be sure to do a patch test on the inside of your arm once your perfume is complete. You should never apply essential oils directly to the skin.
