How to make women's oil perfume from essential oils: recipe
Every woman can make her own personal perfume from essential oils. To do this, it is enough to have a desire and not be afraid to experiment, as well as lose some time for work.
What you need to prepare for work:
- Paper (any notepad, notebook or sheet of paper)
- Pipette (preferably with divisions)
- Bottle (glass, you can even have several pieces)
- Alcohol (pharmaceutical, medical)
- Base oil (if the perfume is oil-based0
- Water (if alcohol-based perfume)
- Essential oil (choose your own)
IMPORTANT: To make perfume, you can mix several aromas of essential oils, the main thing is that their quantity is at least 3.
Essential oil perfumes can be either oil-based (based on a base oil) or alcohol-based (based on alcohol and water). In the first case, the percentage of oils is 1 to 1. In the case of alcohol perfumes, it is 65% alcohol, 35% alcohol and only 5% water. Water for perfume must be selected distilled (i.e. purified and without any other impurities).
Alcohol perfumes can be applied to the skin, clothes, hair, but oil perfumes can only be applied to the skin! If you apply them to your clothes, it will leave a stain that will be very difficult to remove and your hair will start to get greasy. The skin, in turn, will be able to absorb the oil, but a subtle aroma will remain on it.
To make homemade perfumes, it is important to purchase high-quality essential oils, which can be purchased at pharmacies or specialized shops and departments.
Before you look for YOUR perfume, it is important to know that there are only five main groups of fragrances:
- Spicy (sweet and sultry, rich and warm)
- Woody (with subtle fresh and juicy notes, spicy)
- Herbal (fresh, cold, light)
- Floral (rich, sweet and fresh flower aromas)
- Fruity (light, juicy, sweet)
IMPORTANT: If you are making perfume for the first time, try to mix several aromas of the same group into the composition (for example, only floral or only herbal).
Over time, you will learn the rule - any perfume has three notes:
- The base note is the main note, which has the most intense aroma and is the highlight of the entire perfume.
- Middle - this note “appears” as the base note wears off or serves as its kind of trail.
- And the top one is the aroma that remains on the skin when the previous two disappear.
It will take a lot of time until you achieve the most harmonious and pleasant aroma through experimentation. The paper is needed so that you first combine the aromas on it, applying droplets of oils and waving the leaf in front of your face.
IMPORTANT: To make it convenient for you, cut a sheet of paper into strips and leave a drop of one scent on each, and then add the “bouquet” of perfume notes that you like. How many components the perfume will contain is up to you to decide! The number is not limited: at least 3, at least 33!
How to mix scents correctly:
- Pour water into a glass bottle
- Add a “top note” - 1 drop
- Add a “middle note” - 2 drops
- Add a “base note” - 3 drops
- Pour in the base (alcohol or oil)
IMPORTANT: Leave oil perfumes for 2 weeks, and alcohol perfumes for at least 4, then use freely.

During the crisis, Russians began making Chanel and D&G perfumes in the kitchen
Since the beginning of the crisis, perfume sales in Russia, according to experts, have fallen by 20–40%. But the Russians have found a way to continue to smell good when prices rise. According to the Yandex tool Wordstat, Runet users began to look for recipes on how to make perfume at home 30% more often. Among other things, Russians began to ask how to create their own copies of branded fragrances - Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace.
Since the beginning of the year, Yandex has received 31.5 thousand requests on how to make “perfume with your own hands.” During the same period last year, 24.5 thousand such requests were received, that is, approximately 30% less. Examples of requests are “do-it-yourself perfumes made from essential oils” (about 3 thousand requests at the beginning of the year), “DIY aphrodisiac perfumes recipes” (about 500 requests), “DIY men’s perfumes,” “DIY perfumes with pheromones.” Now requests have begun to appear that did not exist at all before - for example, “famous perfumes with your own hands”, “perfumes of famous brands with your own hands”.
Online sources teach that you can use rubbing alcohol or jojoba oil to make homemade perfume. Next, you just need to add other essential oils there. For example, to make Chanel No. 5, as the online instructions say, you need to take 10 essential oils (bergamot, lemon, neroli, jasmine, rose, lily of the valley, vetiver, sandalwood, vanilla, amber). The Light Blue aroma from Dolce & Gabbana, according to the experience of home perfumers, is obtained by taking the oils of lemon, green apple, jasmine, bamboo, white rose, cedar, amber and musk. All this needs to be poured into a bottle and placed in a dark place for two months.
According to the President of the Guild of Perfumers Oksana Chernyshova, it is impossible to prepare Chanel in the kitchen.
“People who try to make perfume at home use pharmaceutical oils, but in professional production they use completely different ingredients,” she explained. “In addition, professionals use substances that ordinary consumers simply cannot get. For example, these are aldehydes - artificially derived chemical formulas.
According to her, handmade perfumes may be liked by their creators, but if you give them to a professional to smell, he will most likely feel a violation of the harmony in the aroma.
“If a person sees the components for the first time, it is difficult for him to understand how they interact - after all, this requires nose training,” she said. — It’s one thing when two scents are taken separately, and another thing when they are mixed: completely different notes can be obtained. I can assume that there are self-taught geniuses, but even here years of training are needed.
According to Oksana Chernyshova, kitchen perfumes appear not only because people have to save money on trips to cosmetics stores.
“People are tired of everyday problems, they want to escape into other worlds, and perfume is an outlet for them,” the expert said.
Hand-made perfume manufacturer Anastasia Melentyeva believes that the complex and expensive fragrance formula does not bring joy to everyone.
“Many people are allergic to some chemical components,” she said. — If you make perfumes, taking into account individual characteristics, they will be safe.
According to her, many people want to use natural cosmetics, and this also explains the interest in home perfumes.
“It only takes 15 minutes to make one bottle,” she said. “At the same time, it will be three times cheaper than if you bought a bottle in a store.”
According to the president of the guild of marketers, Igor Berezin, since the beginning of the crisis, the perfume market has fallen by 20–40% on average. At the same time, the wave passed through the market unevenly.
“In some areas the decrease could be 2-3 times, but in some budget products even an increase is possible, because consumers have begun to switch to them,” the expert said.
According to experts, Russians have become interested in home perfumes not only because of the crisis.
“There are two aspects unrelated to the crisis,” said Marketing Guild Council Member Nicholas Corot. — So-called environmental trends, “green” cosmetics, natural products are in fashion. Even 2 years ago, homemade creams and soap making became popular. Secondly, customers develop an awareness of themselves as a brand in their own right. They have a need to create an individual image not only in clothes, but also in smell - a personal, unique smell. In addition, we are entering a pan-European trend, where boutiques of creating individual scents have become fashionable. There are no shops as such in Russia, but now master classes by famous perfumers are very popular here.
By the way, requests for how to make “cosmetics at home” have also increased during the crisis. Since the beginning of 2020, according to Wordstat, there have been 14 thousand of them, for the same period last year - 10 thousand.

DIY citrus perfume
Stages of preparing creamy perfumes
To make high-quality solid perfumes with your own hands, you need to stock up on time and ingredients. The process can be mastered by any person who has a desire to create and learn something new.
Before you start, prepare everything you need: wax, base oil, essential oils to create a sophisticated scent, vitamin E, glycerin, and dishes. You will need a saucepan for water, a heat-resistant container for mixing the base, a wooden stick, a pipette, and containers with lids for storing the finished perfume.
In order not to disrupt the technology of preparing perfumes, divide the process into stages and follow them:
- Place the required amount of paraffin or wax in a heat-resistant container and place the container in a pan of water. Place the pan on the stove. In a water bath, the wax will melt quickly and will not burn.
- As soon as it begins to take on a liquid consistency, reduce the heat as much as possible and slowly add the main oil. If the beeswax is of good quality, it will gently change texture and combine with the oil. When the ingredients are completely melted and come together, remove the pan from the heat.
- While the perfume base rests for just a couple of minutes, mix the essential oils separately. To do this, use a pipette to accurately measure the drops. You can rehearse this process - combine the ethereal filling of the perfume and sprinkle it on a long thin piece of paper. After a few minutes, sniff the paper with the oils or pass it in the air in front of your nose a few times to determine if you like the combination. Please note that the base will soften this smell.
- Combine the perfume base with essential oils and mix well with a thin wooden stick. It is important to mix the ingredients while the perfume base is still hot so that it does not start to harden, otherwise melt it again in a steam bath. There should be no grains in the product.
- To improve the texture and beneficial qualities of the perfume, add 1 drop each of vitamin E and glycerin.
- While the mixture is still warm, pour it into a container. It will harden in literally an hour and will be ready for use.
The key to a decent result is the speed of combining the ingredients. If you hesitate a little and allow the base to harden ahead of time, you will have to start over. It is not recommended to melt the wax in a steam bath more than twice, as it loses its beneficial bonding properties.

- After infusion, add 1-3 drops of essential oil (sandalwood, vanilla - whatever you like best).
- Leave to steep for another 2-3 weeks
Basic scheme for preparing solid perfumes on a natural basis
Made on the basis of beeswax, solid perfumes themselves have a velvety texture, thanks to which they lie easily and smoothly on the skin, are absorbed into it in almost a matter of seconds, without leaving behind greasy marks or stains and without harming clothes.
If you want to create a unique, inimitable scent for your perfume, you should take special care in combining different scents and creating a special composition. From the first time, “by eye,” you will not be able to determine what exactly you need to use and in what proportions; this is a rather complex science, and everything comes only with experience.
To begin with, we advise you to use detailed step-by-step recipes for solid perfumes as an assistant and strictly follow all instructions.
Now let's take a closer look at how to make solid perfume at home.
All components are taken at the rate of: 10 grams of wax, 7 grams of base oil, one drop each of glycerin and vitamin E, 15 drops of a mixture of essential oils
First stage
It is best to prepare perfume in a water bath. Place a saucepan with a small amount of water over medium heat.
Place beeswax or paraffin in a heat-resistant container (it is better if it is a tall metal or glass glass with strong walls; you can also use a mug) and carefully place the container with the contents in a pan of water.
It is very important that even during boiling, water does not get into the wax under any circumstances. Thus, the wax or paraffin will melt very quickly and without problems.
Second phase
When you notice that the wax has become liquid, you should immediately reduce the heat to low and add the base essential oil.
It is worth saying that if the wax is of good quality, its connection with the base oil will occur gently and gradually, without requiring additional effort.
Third stage
When the oil is completely combined with the melted paraffin or wax, quickly remove the pan from the heat.
Fourth stage
Now let the perfume base rest a bit and cool for about 2-3 minutes.
At this time, you should mix essential aromatic oils in a separate bowl.
Remember not to overdo it, otherwise the smell may be unbearable. Accordingly, it is recommended to use a pipette to measure drops.
The following combinations are popular:
- Orange, neroli, lavender and clove (7:5:2:1);
- Orange, lavender, rosemary, rosewood, mint (8:2:1:3:1);
- Rose, geranium, rosewood (10:3:2).
The total oil content is approximately 20% base notes, 30% top notes and 50% middle note oils.
You select the required amount of essential oil for yourself individually. This is very simple to do: apply the desired number of drops of oil to a strip of cardboard, pass it through the air and smell to see if you like the concentration of the smell. This way you can choose your individual proportion.
However, you should remember that when mixed with the base, this aroma will become exactly a little softer and more delicate.
Fifth stage
Now combine the melted solid perfume base with aromatic oils and mix thoroughly with a wooden stick.
Remember to mix the ingredients while the base is hot and flowing. Otherwise, you will have to melt it again in a water bath.
The main rule for successful perfume preparation is speed. Focus on the process and don't get distracted. If you miss a moment, you will have to start all over again, so pay maximum attention to the cooking process to get a good result.
Stir until the substance acquires a homogeneous structure without lumps. Now add a drop each of undiluted pure glycerin and vitamin E.
The preparation of the perfume is almost complete. All that remains is to pour the contents into metal containers and leave to harden. In about an hour, your perfume will be ready to use.

Spicy and sweet “homemade” perfumes
Wax-based perfume recipes
Perfume made from beeswax has a velvety texture and fits perfectly on the skin, instantly absorbing without leaving a greasy residue. To create a unique aroma, you need to carefully approach the combination of all ingredients. To obtain a long-lasting perfume, wax is combined with various essential oils. It’s difficult to immediately figure out which components to take and in what ratio to get a certain bouquet. Such skills come with practice. If you are just starting to learn the basics of perfume making, stick to proven recipes.
Fresh spring scents
The most popular scents include:
- Freshness of lemon
. To create it, 1 tsp. mix melted beeswax with 2 tsp. jojoba oils. Then add two drops each of lemon, verbena and rose oils. To enhance the smell, add 1 drop of glycerin. The aroma will be fresh, slightly bitter, and the rose leaves a pleasant sweetish trail. - Fruit boom
. Combine a teaspoon of melted beeswax with olive oil and add two drops of grapefruit oil and three davana oil. The latter substance has an amazing, unique fruity aroma, vaguely reminiscent of the smell of ripe apricot. Grapefruit oil here creates balance and gives a sour note. - Cold tea
. Take 1/2 tsp. medical paraffin and the same amount of wax, melt in a steam bath and combine with 1 tsp. almond oil and 1 drop vitamin E. To create a scent, add 1 drop lemongrass essential oil and 2 drops green tea oil. The aroma will be subtle, slightly tart, with the main fresh scent of green tea.
Note. You can create solid perfumes at home only by using high-quality beeswax. Such a product should have an amber color.
Rich sweet smells
Thus, you will receive a noble bouquet of not cloying, but deeply sensual perfume. These oils in tandem with beeswax give extraordinary odors:
- Tangerine oil
. Prepare 2 tsp. melted wax and 2 tsp. jojoba oil, add a drop of glycerin. To the resulting mixture, add 2 drops of ylang-ylang essential oil, 1 drop of rose oil and 3 drops of tangerine oil. This bouquet will be dominated by the sweetish, warm and very pleasant aroma of tangerine. - Juniper oil
. Into the base mixture prepared from 2 tsp. wax, 1 tsp. olive oil and a drop of glycerin, add aromatic juniper oil - 2 drops, 1 drop of myrrh oil and 1 drop of vanilla extract. Despite the concentrated aroma of vanilla, the trail after the perfume will have a characteristic tart, sweetish aroma of juniper. - Cinnamon oil
. 1 tbsp. l. combine beeswax with 1 tsp. cocoa butter and half a teaspoon of coconut oil. To create an original aroma, add 5 drops of the following oils: cinnamon, vanilla and orange. The perfume will have a delicious chocolate aroma.
Bright tart perfumes
To make solid perfumes with such a bouquet yourself and not upset the complex balance of ingredients, it is recommended to strictly follow the recipe so as not to accidentally overdo it and turn the perfumed product into a banal air freshener. The most popular tart flavors:
- Eastern fairy tale
. Take 1 tbsp. l. wax, 1 tsp. wheat oil and add 8 drops each of lavender, sandalwood, sage, myrrh, musk and cardamom oils. The result will be a rich aroma containing a natural plant pheromone - musk oil. This means that men will react to such a bold combination of smells very actively, showing attention to the woman. - Aphrodite Blend
. To create this mythological scent, take 1 tbsp. l. beeswax, 1 tsp. olive oil, 1 drop of vitamin E and add 5 drops of vetiver, grapefruit and ginger oil to the mixture. The exciting and herbaceous aroma of vetiver will prevail in this perfume. It is believed that Aphrodite loved this oil with its tart notes and used it to create her own perfume.
After mastering the basic recipes, you can safely experiment, because there are many popular scents that are pleasant to our sense of smell. Be sure to write down the formulas you use so that you can later reproduce the scent you like again.

How to make perfume long lasting so it lasts longer?
Adviсe:
- Apply perfume not to dry skin, but to moisturized skin (after a bath, after applying lotion or oil).
- Apply perfume to skin lubricated with Vaseline (it holds the aroma perfectly).
- No need to rub perfume! (just spray it on and leave).
- Spray the perfume on the “pulsating” areas of the body (It will open up longer there: wrists, neck. The aroma is also well absorbed into hair and clothes).
How to use dry perfume
Perfume in solid form can be applied to different points of the body, and not just to the places where blood vessels pulsate. They have a hypoallergenic composition and, thanks to their creamy structure, are ideal for dry skin and do not cause irritation or a feeling of tightness.
They should be used as follows:
- Apply perfume of any consistency only to clean, dry skin. Under no circumstances should clothing be coated with this composition; the fatty base will leave stains and marks on the fabric.
- Immediately after application, you should not get dressed; you must wait a few minutes for the mixture to be absorbed into the skin.
- It is better to scoop the composition from the jar with a special spatula, a small stick, a toothpick or a clean finger. The latter method is undesirable because it promotes the proliferation of microbes inside the container.
- Before applying the perfume to the skin, rub it between your fingers and warm it slightly. Then apply to the wrist, elbow, neck, behind the ear.
- It is not recommended to apply more than two strokes.
Such perfumes are packaged in miniature containers with a volume of 1–5 ml. They come in the form of a ring or a pendant, but the most convenient for application is considered to be the scent in a bottle in the form of lipstick - it scrolls and pulls out a small column. There are also solid bar scents that are suitable for damp skin after a shower or bath.
Solid perfumes are also suitable for aromatherapy . Cut up bars or open containers of the wax mixture can be placed in a closet with clothes, linens, in a car, or simply in a room as an air freshener.

Essential oils instead of perfumes: scientists named successful compositions
The sense of smell is one of the most pronounced senses that helps a person navigate and interact with the world around him. It has long been known that smells can not only control emotions, but also influence the functioning of internal organs and systems. Perfumers actively use this property in their work, creating more and more new fragrance compositions. But it turns out that it is not at all necessary to spend huge sums on buying branded perfumes. There are aromas in nature that are long lasting in themselves and are great as an alternative to perfume. Suffice it to recall the essential oils of plants.
Researchers have found that a few drops of essential oils applied to the skin can create a fragrant trail no worse than that of famous brands of eau de parfum. Moreover, the created aroma will be natural, pure, without the inclusion of additional accents. Scientists suggest using several varieties of essential oil as the optimal choice.
First on the list is lavender oil , which has a distinct aroma of freshness. It gives a very lasting aroma that can last on the body throughout the day. But you need to be careful when choosing light essential oil compositions as perfume. Fashionistas will find no less pleasure in using jasmine essential oil . It has a refreshing aroma with light floral undertones. Along with its pleasant smell, jasmine has another important advantage - perfume with its inclusion has a calming effect, relieves anxiety, and relaxes.
Fans of more piquant perfume combinations should pay attention to orange essential oil . Juicy citrus notes perfectly invigorate and improve your mood. At the same time, essential orange oil has been used since time immemorial to treat headaches. Therefore, it will be a good addition for people suffering from migraines.
The most popular among all options remains rose essential oil . The aroma of these flowers is considered noble, velvety, very delicate and at the same time romantic.
If you decide to use rose oil instead of your usual perfume, remember that it must be applied carefully. Just one or two drops on your wrist is enough to create a suitable concentration of aroma that will accompany you throughout the day.
ylang-ylang flower essential oil closes the top five . It has a very pleasant, slightly sweet aroma that lifts your spirits and gives you strength.
