How To

Have you ever dreamt of creating your own unique perfume? It's easier than you might think! With just a few simple ingredients and a touch of creativity, you can craft a personalised fragrance that reflects your individual style.

What You'll Need:

• Perfume Base: This is the foundation of your perfume, providing a neutral canvas for your fragrance oils. We recommend our high-quality Perfume Base, which is specially formulated to blend seamlessly with fragrance oils and create a long-lasting scent.
• Fragrance Oils: Choose your favourite fragrance oils to create your signature scent. Explore our wide selection of premium fragrance oils, from floral and fruity to woody and oriental, to find the perfect notes for your perfume.
• Measuring Tools: You'll need a measuring jug or graduated cylinder to accurately measure the perfume base and fragrance oils.
• Mixing Beaker or Bowl: A clean beaker or bowl will be used to mix your perfume.
• Storage Bottles: Choose attractive bottles to store your finished perfume. Amber glass bottles are ideal as they protect the fragrance from light and help preserve its quality.

Instructions:

1. Measure: In your mixing beaker or bowl, measure 80ml of Perfume Base and 20ml of your chosen fragrance oil(s). You can use a single fragrance oil or blend multiple oils to create a unique scent.

2. Mix: Gently stir the perfume base and fragrance oil(s) together until they are thoroughly combined. Avoid over-stirring, as this can create air bubbles.

3. Rest: Allow the mixture to rest for at least 24 hours, or even better, up to a week. This allows the fragrance to mature and develop its full complexity.

4. Bottle: Carefully pour the perfume into your chosen storage bottles. Use a funnel to avoid spills.

5. Label: Label your perfume bottles with the name of your fragrance and the date you created it.

Tips for Creating Your Signature Scent:

• Start with a single fragrance oil: If you're new to perfume making, start with a single fragrance oil that you love. Once you're more comfortable, you can experiment with blending different oils.
• Use a fragrance wheel: A fragrance wheel can help you identify complementary scents and create harmonious blends.
• Test on your skin: Before creating a large batch, test your perfume on a small area of your skin to ensure you like the way it smells on you.
• Store properly: Store your perfume in a cool, dark place to preserve its fragrance and quality.
