How To Make Custom Perfumes

Have you ever wondered how to make perfume by yourself? It’s actually very easy and with a few ingredients, you can make magic happens. It’s not expensive, it doesn’t need professional equipment and it’s fun! Whether you’re exploring for a new hobby or want to start your own perfumery, this simple beginner guide is for you.

Things you need:

  • 3 grams of fragrance oil 
  • 7 grams of perfumers alcohol
  • digital scale
  • pipettes
  • stirring rod
  • 1.7 oz glass beaker
  • 1.7 oz perfume spray container


With the size of spray bottle we are using, we will be blending 70% of perfumers alcohol and 30% fragrance oil. This ratio should give you a lingering scent.

The how to:

  1. Use a digital scale to ensure measurement accuracy. Place your beaker on the scale. Add 7 grams of the perfumer's alcohol to the beaker.
  2. Add 3 grams of fragrance oil to the beaker (divided between top, heart, and base notes according to your preference). Remember, the ratio of fragrance to alcohol is 30% to 70%.
  3. Gently stir your blend. And that’s it! You’ve made your own perfume.
  4. Using pipettes, transfer your creation to a perfume spray container. Spritz and enjoy!

Contrary to some recommendations you'll find on the Internet, never use drops to measure your recipe. Chances are, your measurement will be inconsistent. As a beginner, it’s always recommended to use a digital scale for an accurate, consistent result.

*This recipe can be easily scaled up for larger quantities. Simply adjust the amounts while maintaining the same ratio and use a larger beaker.
