A Complete Roadmap to Make Eau de Perfume

1. Choose the Efflorescence you need in your Perfume

Alright fragrance lovers, you must know the blooms you love, the likeminded aromas as per your character. Now is the time to harvest the real flowery magic, which isn’t about grab-and-pass. It’s necessary to extract fresh flowers like ripped cherries. The right time is a must for the right things to happen!

How to Make Perfume Magnificent piece has a tip that floral picks must be taken before sunrise, with dew drops and mature buds.

As these give precision to the aromatic profile of a scent, gently processed to get floral extracts to get a refreshing spritz of fluorescence. Roses, jasmines, piney, Iris, Lilies, lavender, and much more are the divas of the floral fragrance family so handle them gently to suit your taste.

1. Things Needed to Make Eau de Parfum

After picking the essential floral oil, we will be looking for:

Alcohol: The essence oil needs a solvent for dissolving and preserving the aroma of perfume. We use alcohol because plant extracts are not water-soluble and we craft perfumes from 95% pure, fragrance-free ethanol or 90-95% Vodka as an alternative. Alcohol evaporates making perfume more volatile and aggressive in terms of alluring aromas.

Distilled water is used in very small quantities like 1-2% to smoothen the texture of our perfume, also it reduces the extremely sharp or pungent smells. It is added to the Eau de perfumes to neutralize the effects of any skin reaction after perfume use. However, in eau de toilette perfumes, you need to increase the percentage of distilled water. 

Glass Bottle: The perfume needs storage for which always choose sleek designs of bottles that add value to your collection and help boost the mindsets. 

Glycerine addition is a fixative that is mostly used in more concentrated but less in weight. It contributes only 1-2% of the total volume, for example,

30ml of perfume will contain 1% glycerine (6 drops)

Glycerine has having properties of binding the extract oils, as well as, retaining the moisture in our perfumes.

1. Understand Perfume Making with an example of Floral Perfume Blends

I have decided to take a top note from bergamot, a middle note with rose extract oil along with Jasmine, and a base note with Sandalwood. Let’s create 30ml of perfume:

• Take Alcohol approx. 24ml to prepare 100ml of 30ml of eau de perfume. 
• Plant extract roughly 6ml making around 100-200 drops in total. Bergamot 10 drops, jasmine 20 drops, rose 25 drops, sandalwood 10 drops.
• Distilled water of 1-2ml 
• Glycerine 1 % 

Blend them gently and allow them to settle for a day or two in a cool place this allows plant extract to meld before alcohol addition.

Rekindling Notes: Have Fun to Explore 

Perfumes are delicate to reveal your personality, confidence, and endurance. I suggest igniting your aroma by experimenting with layering with flower infusions, essential floral extracts, moisturizers, spritzing body sprays, etc…

Keep track of your experience so that you can refine your preferences, as per gatherings and times of the year. 

Remember, don’t smash the floral allure by wearing the wrong ones. Let your imaginative allure express your real identity like each flower has its unique color, size, and aroma.
