introduction
Making perfumes at home is not only a fun hobby, it is also a great way to create unique scents that express your personality and taste. Thanks to readily available tools and ingredients, anyone can try their hand at perfume making. In this article, we present to you a step-by-step beginner's guide to making perfumes at home, in cooperation with Amjad Al Oud Company, a leader in the field of luxury perfumes.
1. Essential ingredients for making perfumes
Essential oils
Essential oils are the main ingredients in perfumery. You can choose from a wide range of oils such as lavender, jasmine, rose, bergamot, and sandalwood. It is best to start with three types of essential oils to achieve a balance between top, middle, and base notes.
Alcohol
Alcohol is the primary solvent used to dilute essential oils and make them last longer. It is preferable to use 95% pure ethyl alcohol.
Distilled water
Distilled water is used to dilute the fragrance after mixing it with alcohol and essential oils.
Stabilizers
Fixatives such as glycerin or drops of jojoba oil help lock in the fragrance and make it last longer.
2. Necessary tools
- Small dark bottles for storing perfumes
- Droppers for measuring oils accurately
- Small funnel to facilitate transfer of liquids
- Test strips or blotting paper to test perfumes
3. Steps for making perfumes at home
Step 1: Choose essential oils
Choose three types of essential oils from Amjad Al Oud collection based on your preferences. For example, you can choose lemon oil as the top ingredient, lavender oil as the middle ingredient, and sandalwood oil as the base ingredient.
Step 2: Mix essential oils
Use droppers to measure equal amounts of essential oils into a dark bottle. It is preferable to start with 30% for the top notes, 50% for the middle notes, and 20% for the base notes.
Step 3: Add alcohol
Add an amount of alcohol equal to three times the amount of essential oils in the bottle. Use a funnel to avoid spills.
Step 4: Mix the ingredients
Close the bottle and shake gently to combine the ingredients. Let the mixture rest for 48 hours to 6 weeks to allow the scents to blend well.
Step 5: Dilute the fragrance
After the ripening period, add a small amount of distilled water to dilute the fragrance as desired. Shake the bottle again to combine the water with the mixture.
Step 6: Test the fragrance
Use test strips or blotting paper to try out the fragrance and adjust the formula if necessary. You can adjust the proportions or add more essential oils until you reach the desired scent.
