How to make perfume yourself?

Choosing “your" perfume is not easy enough. You need to make an impressive trip to perfume shops, try dozens, if not hundreds of different fragrances, “carry it”, understand how it is yours or not. Sometimes there are situations when you seem to like a fragrance, but I would like to modify it a little.In fact, you can easily, like a real perfumer, create your own perfume.A simple version – from a concentrate that can be found in specialized stores, a more complex one – from essential oils.

In perfume shops, visitors are enveloped in a variety of fragrances, in some you can even recognize the aromas of natural ingredients: gardenia, jasmine or rose. But in fact, natural ingredients in perfumes are now very rare – something that smells like a rose has not necessarily ever been lying next to it. After all, it is much easier to create a synthetic fragrance that is pleasant and inexpensive. But smelling good doesn’t mean feeling good! In fact, synthetic fragrances are a rather big problem in modern mass-market and luxury perfumery. Truly natural ingredients can be found, perhaps, in the category of selective perfumery, and even then – not always. Again, this problem can be solved by making two and at home. Do you want to make your own perfume that does not contain synthetic chemicals, and can also have a therapeutic effect? That is what we will tell you about in this article.

Why should you try making your own perfume? The main advantages of self-made perfumes

1. Good boutique perfumes are too expensive. In the case of self-production, you can save quite a lot.
2. Mass market products raise doubts about the safety of the composition. Here you will know exactly what you made your perfume from.
3. It is difficult to choose your scent from the ones offered.
4. I want to create something unique. Pros – this is a great field for experimentation.

What do you need to create perfume with your own hands?

If you want to create a perfume composition yourself, then first of all, you should worry about the presence of essential oils. High-quality perfumes consist of quite affordable components: essential oil, distilled or spring water, medical alcohol or base oil (jojoba, olive), glycerin.

Buying consumables for creating perfumes is not difficult. In fact, they can be easily found in specialized stores, ordered online, or simply bought at a pharmacy. The most expensive ingredient is essential oil. Firstly, the result directly depends on its quality, so it’s not worth saving. Essential oils, in any case, must be of high quality and expensive. Secondly, you yourself will create the perfect recipe for you. Also immediately buy a bottle where you will store your perfume and atomizer.

First, create a perfume composition from the available essential oils. This requires experimentation. Add base oil to essential oil mixture, add glycerin, water and alcohol. Put to infuse in a cool place.

There is an easier way to create perfumes with your own hands. In specialized stores you can find special perfume concentrates. You can dilute them in the required, optimal concentration for you with ordinary medical alcohol, as well as add a substance that fixes the aroma – for example, ambergris or ambroxan. This ingredient will ensure that the perfume stays on the skin. You can also experiment and mix different concentrates together.
