Recipe: Eau de Parfum

You will need:

Fragrance Blend (or experiment to create your own!):
5 ml (1 tsp) Blood Orange Essential Oil
2.5 ml (1/2 tsp) Jasmine Fragrance Oil
10 ml (2 tsp) Orange Blossom Fragrance Oil
1.25 l (1/4 tsp) Vanille Essential Oil Blend
2.5 ml (1/2 tsp) Patchouli Fragrance Oil
2.5 ml (1/2 tsp) Egyptian Musk Fragrance Oil

Base Solvent: Liquid Perfume Base

Container: Silver Perfume Sprayer


Using a clean dropper for each scent, blend all of your scent options in a glass bottle. For best results, allow scents to marry overnight to allow the blend to develop. This allows you to tweak ratios before diluting the concentrated fragrance.

Make sure you keep detailed notes so that you are able to duplicate the blend at a future date. There is nothing more frustrating than achieving your perfect scent and then not being able to duplicate it. Once you have achieved the scent profile you prefer, it is time to dilute!

In most Eau de Parfum Fragrances, the scent is diluted at 10-15% of the base. For easy math, this translates to 4.5 ml fragrance blend to 25.5 ml liquid perfume base to yield 1 oz of Perfume. Once you have diluted the fragrance blend and mixed it well to incorporate, it's time to package your masterpiece. We suggest convenient fine-mist purse atomizers for alcohol-based perfumes.

FYI: It is NOT okay to substitute rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) or Vodka (ethanol) for the Liquid Perfumers Base. In order to formulate with drinking alcohol (ethanol) or Perfumers Alcohol (SDA Alcohol), you are required to register and maintain a license with the ATF as well as pay taxes on the sale of the alcohol. Our Liquid Perfumers Base is formulated so that this licensure and the subsequent taxes do not apply.
