WHY MAKE YOUR OWN ESSENTIAL OIL PERFUMES?
I was recently working on a guest post for Delicious Obsessions about the ingredients in perfume and the nasty side effects they can cause. (Read the full post here) I've always been sensitive to perfumes so I love the idea of making my own perfume.
When I started researching, it wasn't that easy to find homemade perfume recipes with the essential oil measurements listed. Being new to the essential oils world at that time, I wanted guidance to help me understand anything and everything that I could about them.

I would love to hear about your perfume making experiences. Have you ever made your own perfume before?
Blessings,
On average, about how long do these scents last?
They are each different depending on the different essential oils used. The citrusy scents seem to fade quicker than some of the others.
I would love to see something including rose essential oil. or something like eternity romance.
I like rose and sweet orange or grapefruit. Today I mixed rose with sandalwood and geranium with orange and pine and it smells amazing. 🙂
Been trying to come up with my own blend. Thus far I am Balsam Peru, Neroli and one drop Ylang Ylang.
I love the ideas of Twilight Gypsy, Sensuously Deep and forest Faires… will have to try them.
I love Neroli! You’ll have to come back and share when you get your scent perfected! 🙂
This is an amazing list of recipes, thank you so much for sharing! You have reignited my passion for perfume making again! Amazing, thank you 🙂
You’re welcome! Have fun creating!
Where are instructions on how to make mt own essential oils. I can not find any in this web site. I am trying not to have to buy everything. The oils are expensive, and I am on a limited budget.
I like to DIY but haven’t tackled making my own essential oils. I prefer to leave that to the experts. 🙂 So you won’t find that here, but I’m sure someone has tackled this. Good Luck!
Thanks so much for this list of DIY perfumes!
I will share this page with my doTerra customers and colleagues!:)
Thanks so much Christina!
Kay, to make your own essential oils you would need a still and lots of plant material. Actually cheaper to buy the oils! 🙂 Some online shops you can buy samples for a couple dollars each, especially helpful for more expensive oils.
Quick question: Are these recipes women only? I’ve been trying to find some kind of recipe for a male ^^
Hi Andy, yes these recipes are geared mainly towards women. I guess I need to work on recipe for men. 🙂 In the meantime, this is a great post from the Hippy Homemaker with men’s cologne recipes:

Can I use these blends in a lotion?
Hi Darlonda! You could definitely use these blends in a lotion. I would keep the dilution level lower if you’re going to be using it on a large part of the body.
I’ve been making men’s scents. Here’s a few I’ve been working on:
Cedar, pine needle, orange
Bergamont, lemongrass, lavender
Sandalwood, clove, chamomile.
Do you have a recipe for hippie perfume? I am definitely going to try some of these! Thank you!
There are a few recipes from The Hippy Homemaker in the free Perfume Guide here.
HI! I’m planning on making a perfume inspired by ancient Egypt using frankincense and myrrh. I’m still new to essential oils so I’m not sure what else to add to make it more of a woman’s scent. Any ideas?
I infuse some grain alcohol with vanilla beans for about 4 – 6 weeks. I then use it to create perfumes…. it’s absolutely wonderful, worth the extra couple of $ and waiting time….
That sounds awesome!
Regarding ancient Egypt idea, I’ve mixed frank, myrrh and benzoin with a bit of vanilla absolute. Totally intoxicating!
Yes, some do. But as I said earlier even when they are using perfume grade oils, not therapuetic grade Most inexpensive perfumes are made strictly from synthetic manufactured fragrances!
Awesome recipes I would like to try
Yes they are!! Have fun!
Can these be made using a roller bottle and carrier oil?
Absolutely, that is how I usually make mine. 🙂
Thank you for the wonderful recipe ideas! I have some Amber essential oil and Palma Rosa essential oil. I like the smell but have no idea what to do with them. I can’t even figure out where they fit on the “note” scale. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Hi Tara! I would just start playing around with the oils. Blend a few drops together and see if you like the combo. It doesn’t have to be complicated. 🙂 Sometimes I just mix oils together and see what happens.
Dear Mindy Benkert,
I’d like to ask whether it’s a good idea to make a perfume of
only a top and base note: cedarwood and bergamot.
Would it work?
Thanks,
Patrik Nusszer
