How to Make Designer Perfume Oils

If you have a nose for good scents and have a creative flair, then making your own perfume oils can be an exciting and fun hobby that will not only stimulate your senses but can also earn you some extra cash. With a few tools and about thirty minutes you can create a signature, one of a kind scent that will achieve any effect you desire.

Things You'll Need

• 6 pipettes (found in most craft stores in the soap-making sections)
• 1 vial of Magnolia essential oil (1 oz. )
• 1 vial of Blood Orange essential oil (1 oz.)
• 1 vial of Jasmine essential oil (1 oz.)
• 1 vial of Ylang ylang essential oil (1 oz.)
• 4 ounces of hemp oil (carrier oil)
• 1 ounce vial of oil-soluble cosmetic alcohol (for perfumery)
• 6 ounce decorative glass bottle (for final product)

Instructions

Sensual Perfume Oil

1. Gather all of the things you need, and keep them in front of you on your counter space, making sure you open all of the bottles of essential oils for convenience. Do not open the cosmetic alcohol, however. Before mixing your oils, you will need to take your bottle of carrier oil (i.e. the hemp oil) and warm it. To do this you will need an aluminum mixing bowl filled with hot water. After you do this, simply place the unopened bottle of hemp oil into the bowl of hot water, and then leave it there while you begin mixing your oils.

2. Now you will need all six of your pipettes in front of you, along with the four opened vials of essential oils and your empty glass perfume bottle. First, insert a pipette into the vial of Magnolia oil, and fill the pipette about halfway, this is going to be your base scent in this perfume oil. After you do this, simply squeeze the contents of the pipette into your empty perfume bottle.

3. Next, take another pipette and fill it about a quarter of the way with essential oil of Blood Orange, and then inject it into the perfume bottle with the Magnolia oil. This will create a unique, and not entirely appealing scent, because it will be in its most condensed form. But don't let this discourage you.

4. Do not add the Jasmine and Ylang ylang essential oils yet. Instead, you will need to open the bottle of cosmetic alcohol. Fill a pipette about half full with the cosmetic alcohol and then add it to the perfume bottle with the Blood Orange and Magnolia essential oils. This will create a kind of alcohol smell mixed with the scent of the oils.

5. Before continuing, remove your hemp oil from the bowl of water. The oil inside the bottle shouldn't be too hot, but should be about as warm as a baby's bottle. Open the hemp oil and fill a pipette as full as you can get it, and inject the contents into the glass bottle. You might need to repeat this three or four times if you're using a six ounce bottle.

6. Now you will use two more pipettes, and fill them about a quarter full each, with the Jasmine and Ylang ylang oils. Taking an oil-filled pipette in each hand, release the contents one drop at a time, at the same time, into the glass bottle. Only use about four drops of Jasmine oil, and two drops of Ylang ylang oil. Next, simply secure a spray cap or rolling ball cap on the glass bottle, and shake it vigorously, making sure to completely mix the oils together. Let the bottle of new perfume sit for about four hours before you use it, because the oils need time to fuse and combine. When they do, you will have made a one of a kind designer perfume oil.

Tips & Warnings

• You can mix and match different oils to create different scents. When purchasing essential oils for perfumery always look for completely pure and organic oils.

• Never apply undiluted essential oil to your skin, because it can cause serious rash and allergic reactions to occur. Always mix essential oil with a carrier oil or lotion. Never ingest any essential oils without first consulting your doctor.
