How to Make Perfume: A Beginner's Guide to Crafting Your Own Fragrance

How to Make Perfume: A Beginner's Guide to Crafting Your Own Fragrance So, you’ve decided to dive into the world of perfume-making? Well, buckle up! Making your own perfume can be as fun as discovering a new scent you absolutely love (or accidentally creating a smell that’s not so great – hey, it happens to the best of us). But don’t worry, with a little guidance, you’ll be crafting your own signature scent like a pro in no time. Step 1: Gather Your Supplies Before you start mixing oils and pretending you’re some sort of mad scientist (I mean, who doesn’t love a little drama?), you’ll need to gather a few basic ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need: Essential oils (more on this in a minute) Carrier oil (think jojoba oil, almond oil, or even fractionated coconut oil – it’s like the base that holds everything together) Alcohol (a high-proof one, like vodka, works best to help the scent mix) A glass bottle or perfume atomizer (because you can’t just splash it on from a jar, right?) A small funnel (unless you enjoy spilling oils everywhere – no judgment, we’ve all been there) Once you have all your supplies, you’re ready to unleash your inner perfumer. Time to make your house smell like a luxurious boutique (or, you know, like you spilled a bunch of flowers in your kitchen).
