11 Top Tips For Making Perfume at Home
by Alison Wood
Making perfume is not only a relatively easy project to do, but also one you can easily do in the comfort of your home. If you've been thinking about making your own creations, you've probably managed to gather up many unique recipes and you're all set to go. However, there are little tips and tricks of the trade that you may not have been told. These tips can make the process easier and ensure your success.
1. Before actually purchasing any essential oils, test them on your skin first to make sure you don't have a reaction to them.
2. The higher the percentage of essential oils you use, the stronger your perfume is going to be. Typical ratios percentages are 70 to 85 percent alcohol, 5 percent water and 15 to 30 percent essential oils.
3. Do NOT try to substitute tap water for spring or distilled water.
4. If you want some color in your perfume, add a natural, good grade vegetable food dye.
5. When making your perfume, be sure to take notes so if it's a success, you'll know exactly what you did so you can do it again.
6. Your perfume will last must longer if you store it in a dark bottle. It should also be stored in a glass container as opposed to plastic.
7. When adding the essential oils to your perfume mixture, use separate eyedroppers for each essential oil to avoid contamination or spoiling the fragrance of your perfume. If you don't have enough eyedroppers, make sure they're washed thoroughly after each oil is used, washing them in alcohol works very well.
8. Remember to use base notes, middle notes and top notes when making your perfume, making sure to add them in proper order and using the right oils for specific notes. Typical top notes are bergamot, lemon, neroli or lavender while base notes are cinnamon, cedar wood, sandalwood or vanilla with middle notes lemongrass, geranium, clove, and neroli or ylang ylang.
9. When your perfumes are in the sitting stage, keep in mind the longer they sit before use, the stronger they'll be and the longer the scent will last.
10. Don't be afraid to experiment. You may be surprised at some of the luxurious scents you can make with a little experimentation.
11. You don't have to stop with just making women's perfume. You can also make your own body sprays, solid perfume and even men's cologne at home.
