    Introduction

    2.1. Creating your own one of a kind scent is a lot easier than you think. You will find it excitingto know that no one else has your scent, not even those big name perfume makers. Your scent

    will be unique because you created it. With the right combination of essential oils, andperfumers supplements, you are on the right track to have a one of a kind signature scent.

    2.2. Perfume: Is a mixture of essential oils, alcohol, water and perfumers supplements.

    2.3. Essential oils: Are oils that come from plants; they give plants their distinctive odor. Various

    essential oils are routinely mixed together to create a set of three robust essential oil concoctions. Theconcoctions are referred to as Top, Middle and Base notes. When the three NOTES are combined,they create a full bodied perfume blend. Cologne and Eau de Toilette are simply weaker blends of

    perfume. They contain lower levels of essential oils or aroma chemicals than Perfume.

    2.4. Perfumers supplements: Are Aroma chemicals; Aroma chemicals such as Aldehyde (C8-C14), are added to the Notes to give the perfume sharper and crisp Notes.

    2.5. fyi: Big name perfume makers consider perfumers supplements to be a must have. If youwant your scent to smell couture, kick it up a notch with perfumers supplements. The number

    of perfumers supplements to add to your blend is entirely up to your discretion. Someperfumers supplements manufactures will give free samples to their customers. It is always a

    good idea to take advantage of the free samples; the samples allow you moreproducts to experiment with. Furthermore, it is also a good idea to go to your nearest mall shopand look at perfumes made by big name perfume makers. Look at the ingredients to get an ideaof the perfumers supplements they include in their perfume blend. Essential oils are not listed

    among the ingredients because listing essential oils is not an fda requirement.

    2.6. Notes: In perfumery describe an aroma that one smells in the presence of perfume.

    2.6.1. Top Note: Is what one smells first; The Top Note consists of oils that are light or volatile. TheTop Note gives off the most notable scent and wears off quickly. The Top Note includes light weight

    oils such as ylang-ylang, neroli and bergamot.

    2.6.2. Middle Note: Makes up the personality of the perfume and is less volatile than the Top Note.Middle Note consists of oils such as jasmine, rose, lily-of-the-valley and iris. Finally, one smells the

    Base note.

    2.6.3. Base Note: Lingers the longest after the Top and Middle Notes have dissipated. Base Note

  • consists of heavy weight oils such as sandalwood, cider wood, vanilla, cinnamon, vetiver, musk,civet, benzoin and oak moss.

    2.7. When you prepare your Notes. You will be using a blend of Essential Oils and or Aroma

    chemicals to prepare each Note. The type of oils commonly recommended to prepare the Top, Middleand Base Notes are listed in 2.8A, 2.8B and 2.8C.

    2.8. Note: When selecting your essential oils or aroma chemicals to blend for each Note, you can

    choose as few oils or as many as you like from each list, it is entirely up to your discretion.

    Partial list of Essential oils or Aroma chemicals recommended for blending Top, Middle and

    Base notes

    2.8A. Top Note

    Ylang-ylang, neroli, Lemon, Orange, Grapefruit, Lime, aldehydes,coriander, peach, pink pepper,pineapple, white pepper, yellow freesia;

    2.8B. Middle Note

    Jasmine, rose, lily of the valley, iris, Coriander, Palmarosa, Marjoram, Clove, clove, geranium,lemongrass, carnation, orris, ylang-ylang, mandarin orange, peach, peony, magnolia, orange

    2.8C. Base Note

    Musk, vanilla, civet, oak moss, Patchouli, Vetiver, Vetiver, Frankincense, Cedar wood, Sandalwood,Cider, cinnamon. tonka bean, amber, benzoin, white musk, musk.

    Note: Some essential oils/aroma chemicals may be used in either Note type.

    2.9. There is also an important group of oils called Binders, when included in a blend, they act as abond they keep the notes together. Litsea, cubeba, lemongrass, lavender, ylang ylang and vanilla

    are such oils. Make sure to include one of these oils if not selected.

    2.10. Note: Before you add Aroma chemicals, essential oils and or Aldehydes to your blend, it isalways a good idea to ask the seller to tell you the recommended use rate. Some perfume

    chemicals are used in trace (drops) amounts because in high concentration these chemicals canbe hazardous, they can cause allergic reactions in some people. A vast majority of perfume

    chemicals sellers have healthy information on their products.2.11. fyi: Big name perfume makers also use pure, unadulterated, top quality essential oils and

    absolutes in their perfumes. The top quality essential oils and absolutes are costly. If you are new at

  • making perfume and have limited resources, I recommend you start with buying small samples of highquality essential oils or absolutes. The small samples come in small volumes, 1 dram = 3.75 ml. Thevolume of these samples is more than enough to produce a small batch of perfume, cologne or eau detoilette. Cut down on the volume of perfumers alcohol and measure the essential oils or absolutes in

    drops instead of ml. Use essential oils and Aroma chemicals sparingly

    2.12. Warning: Do not inhale Aroma chemicals, Essential oils or fragrant oils directly from the

    original bottle. These oils are potent, volatile and extremely concentrated. Rather than inhalingdirectly from the original bottle, uncap the bottle, take a piece of paper and wave over the top

    of the bottle to create a breeze. Smell the breeze instead.

    2.13. Warning: There is a safer way to smell your essential oils or aroma chemicals before you addthem to your blend. Dilute your oils or aroma chemicals or fragrant oils by mixing a couple of dropsof essential oil, aroma chemicals or fragrant oils with 10 ml perfumers alcohol. Now you can safely

    smell the dilutions right out of the bottle. See samples of my oils/alcohol mixtures below. I willrepeat, please do not inhale Aroma Chemicals, Essential oils or Fragrant oils directly from theoriginal bottles. These oils are potent, volatile and extremely concentrated. Rather than inhaling

    directly from the original bottle, uncap the bottle, take a piece of paper and wave over the top of thebottle to create a breeze. Smell the breeze instead. See samples of my oils/alcohol mixtures below in

    1.16.

    2.14.

    Store the mixtures in a safe place to for later use.

    2.15. Be cautious about using fragrant oils to make perfume, cologne or Eau de toilette. If you mustuse fragrant oils, make sure to use ones approved for skin contact or approved for perfume making.

    (Ask the seller).

    2.16. Shipping regulations Perfumes/fragrances are considered flammable liquids since they arevolatile and contain alcohol. Shipping of these items is regulated by the usps. When you go to the post

    office to mail your perfumes or fragrances, inform the post office that you are mailing or shippingperfumes/fragrances. Or you can contact usps for additional information.

    Note: If you are intending to sell your home made Perfume, do not use drinking alcohol such asvodka, it is illegal to do so. Do not use ordinary plastic drinking cups to measure or handle your

    perfume alcohol. Plastic drinking cups depending on the material they are made of are not compatiblewith perfumers alcohol. (They can break up or dissolve). Use disposable gloves, disposable

    measuring cups and disposable pipettes. Then, you can throw these items out when you are done withthem. Cleaning used items is tedious and time consuming.

    Quick Overview

    Here's a quick overview of how to make Perfume, Cologne and Eau de Toilette.

    4.1. First, we prepare the Top, Middle and Base notes.

    4.2. We let the Notes age for a week.

    4.3. Last, we prepare the Perfume, Cologne and Eau De Toilette from the matured Notes.

  • Chapter 5

    How to prepare Top, Middle and Base Notes

    Procedure

    5.1. First, figure out the type of scent you want your perfume to smell like. Do you want a floral scent,spicy scent, fruity scent or a combination something abstract and unique?

    5.2. Select the essential oil or aroma chemicals for your Top, Middle and Base Notes.

    Note: if you want your perfume to smell floral, do not add too much spicy, herb or citrus oils. If you

    do they will foul your blend. Too much Patchouli for example can cause your blend to smell likemedicine especially if you are making a small batch. Add these oils by the drop. You will also need

    to include an oil to act as a binder for your blend.

    5.3-Write down the list of oils or aroma chemicals you selected. See 5.5.1, 5.5.2, 5.5.3 for lists ofAroma Chemicals and their amounts I selected for my Top, Middle and Base Notes (Signature -1

    formula). This formula will give an abstract and unique scent.

    5.4. Very important!

    A fixative is what most perfumers use to help the perfume scent last longer. And, some fixatives workbetter than others. You will need to include a fixative or your scent will dissipate within minutes. Forthis perfume I used (Glucam Tm P-20 hemuctant) perfume fixative. Im currently searching for other

    brands of fixatives.

    **********

    Note: AA = Aroma Accord, AC = Aroma Chemical, EO = Essential OilYou can find these ingredients at creating perfume.

    **********

    Procedure

    5.6. Lay out three 1oz amber glass bottles.

    (Note: Amber glass keeps sunlight from degrading your notes).

    5.7. Attach (Top, Middle and Base) Labels on the amber glass bottles. See images below in 5.8.

  • 5.8.

    5.9. Warning: Wear a face mask, gloves and be in a well ventilated area which is free of childrenbefore you work with the essential oils, fragrant oils and Aroma Chemical. Face mask prevents you

    from inhaling concentrated oils/chemicals.

    5.10. Warning: The gray face masks intended for paint fumes work better than ordinary dust mask. If

    you use a face mask intended for dust youll still smell the concentrated oils/chemicals.

    5.11. Measure the ingredients listed in 5.5.1, 5.5.2, 5.5.3 (My Signature-1 formula) and add them to

    the labeled amber glass bottles in step 5.8.

    5.12. For example, you will measure 10.0 ml AA True Rose add it to the Top Note bottle. Then,you will measure 6.0 ml AA Hawthorn Rose add it to the Top Note bottle. Last, you will measure

    4.0 ml AC Bright Floral and add it to the Top Note bottle and so on.

    5.13. When you are finished with the additions, cap the bottles tightly and shake the blends about 50times to mix them thoroughly.

    5.14. Store your blends in a safe place out of reach of children. Go back to your blends at least twice

    daily to shake them.

    Note: Generally it should take about a weekfor the Notes to age and ready for the final blending.

    5.15. After one week, the Notes are matured and ready to be used for making Perfume, Cologne or

    Eau de toilette.

  • Chapter 6

    Percentage use rates

    6.1. Percentages of Essential oils and or Aroma chemicals and Perfumers alcohol recommended

    for making Perfume, Cologne or Eau de toilette.

    6.1.1. Formulation Type. Perfume, Essential oil or Aroma chemicals 25% to 35%, Perfumers

    Alcohol 75% to 65%

    6.1.2. Formulation Type. Cologne, Essential oil or Aroma chemicals, 15% to 20%, Perfumers

    Alcohol 85% to 80%

    6.1.3. Formulation Type. Eau de Toilette, Essential oil or Aroma chemicals, 5% to 10%, Perfumers

    Alcohol 95% to 90%

    Note: I intentionally left water out of the formulation. Adding water or too much water can make your

    perfume cloudy and unusable depending on the type of perfumers alcohol you use. When buyingperfumers alcohol, ask the seller if their alcohol can mix with water? If yes, ask the seller how much

    water to add

    From here on, making, Perfume, Cologne and Eau de Toilette is a breeze.

    ********

    Very Important!

    Some people may find the Perfume scent to be very strong. This is why Im starting you off withEau de Toilette the weakest of the three. If you need your product to smell stronger, then by all

    means make Cologne or Perfume.

    Selling, and Labeling Perfume

    You have created your perfume line. If you decide to sell your home made perfume, there are few fda

    guidelines and regulations you may need to consider.

    The following is a list of articles concerning fda guidelines and regulations that I found on the

    internet.

    About the Author

    My background as a chemist gives me a unique and pragmatic perspective on the art of perfume
