Have you ever wondered why perfumes come with a number of names, with different scents? Many celebs are rushing to introduce their own perfume nowadays and one of the reasons for this is that perfumes are simple products that are easy to make. You could even make a perfume yourself. You may only need a little amount of time, interest and effort. Aside from that, the ingredients used in the perfume formula are pretty affordable. They can be found in a number of stores throughout the world and, with today’s advancement in technology, a new scent can be created quickly.

So . . . how to make perfume?

Knowing how to make perfume starts with choosing the first the basic ingredients. Perfumes basically contain essential oils, water and pure grain alcohol, like vodka. Of these ingredients, the essential oils are the ones that need to be focused on. So, the discussion on how to make perfume starts with the consideration of the essential oils that will be used.

To make a good bottle of perfume, most perfumers start by sorting the essential oils according to their weight. This is typically in accordance with an established formula. They sort the oils according to their notes. So when thinking on how to make perfume, understand that the essential oils vary in notes. Top notes include orange, lemon, spearmint, peppermint, grapefruit, bergamot, and lime. The oils with middle notes are coriander, marjoram, basil, palmarosa, rose, geranium, rosemary, pettitgrain, and lavender. The patchouli, cedarwood, sandalwood, frankincense, and vetiver belong to the category of base notes.

As well as learning about and choosing the basic notes knowing how to make perfume also includes awareness of maintaining the proper ratio of the essential oils to the water and alcohol. Usually, this the formula is 15 to 30 percent of essential oil, 70 to 80 percent of alcohol, and at least 5 percent of water. Speaking of water, try to use only bottled distilled or spring water. In addition, only buy the 100% proof vodka for the alcohol content of your perfume. You can also use brandy if you like. And, if you want to add color to your creations, you can do so by using a natural vegetable food dye.

Knowing how to make perfume also involves awareness on the worst enemy of perfume, which is the sun. So when bottling your creations, make sure that the bottles are sterilized and not clear cut. Clear cut bottles will only attract the sun. However, if you do really prefer to present your creations in a fancy bottle, place the highest amount of your perfume in a separate container.

Finally, write down your formula and remember all the drops of essential oils you use. A single added drop can totally change the whole formula. So carry a notebook with you when learning how to make perfume.
