How To Make Your Own Perfume At Home – 10 Easy Methods

Essential Oil Blend

Start with a base of carrier oil like jojoba or sweet almond, then add essential oils in your desired proportions. Experiment with combinations like lavender and citrus.

Alcohol-Based Perfume

Mixing essential oils with high-proof alcohol and a small amount of distilled water creates a traditional perfume. Alcohol evaporates quickly, leaving behind the scent.

Solid Perfume

Solid perfumes are convenient and portable. Made with a base of beeswax or shea butter, they melt upon contact with the skin, releasing their fragrance. Blend melted base ingredients.

Room and Fabric Spray

A versatile option for freshening up spaces and linens, this spray combines essential oils with distilled water and a dispersant like vodka or witch hazel. Adjust the concentration.

Perfume Oil

Perfect for those with sensitive skin, perfume oils blend essential oils with a carrier oil like fractionated coconut or jojoba oil. The oil base helps to dilute the essential oils while moisturizing.

Aromatic Body Mist

This hydrating mist combines distilled water, aloe vera gel, and essential oils. The aloe vera gel not only moisturizes but also helps to suspend the essential oils evenly throughout the mixture..

Herbal Infusion

Infusing carrier oils with dried herbs such as lavender or rosemary adds a natural fragrance to your homemade perfume. Place dried herbs in a jar with a carrier oil and let sit for several weeks.

Cologne

Similar to alcohol-based perfumes but typically lighter and fresher, colognes are often citrus-based with herbal or woody undertones. Mix essential oils with high-proof alcohol .

Solid Lotion Bars

Combining cocoa butter, beeswax, and essential oils creates a moisturizing lotion bar that doubles as a subtle perfume. Melt the ingredients together, add your preferred essential oil blend.

Reed Diffusers
