Essential oils are useful for so many things, and making essential oil cologne is one of them. While some guys may tend to think that fragrant oils are just for the ladies, they actually come in handy for everyone.

Many oils have a masculine scent, and when combined, they can hit all the right notes.

There’s no need to settle for a drugstore or designer fragrance when you can make your own with safe, natural ingredients of your choosing.

Have you asked yourself, “How can I make my own cologne?”

The answer is so simple! You just need the right combination of essential oils to create your homemade cologne for a fraction of the cost.

You’ll also need Sweet Almond or Jojoba oil for a roller-scent, or high proof vodka for the spray to make an eau de toilette.

Once you’ve selected the scents, you simply combine them in a small sprayer bottle. Fill the bottle with grape/corn/wheat high proof vodka to create an eau de toilette.

Give it a gentle shake, allow it to sit for a week so that the fragrances can come together, and then enjoy!

Another option is to make roll-on cologne.

To do so, you’ll need a small roller bottle, your essential oils of choice, and jojoba oil or sweet almond oil to make an oil-based fragrance.

Again you’ll want to give the roller bottle a gentle shake to combine the ingredients. Let the bottle sit for a week to allow the fragrances to marry before using.

What essential oils are good for cologne?

When it comes to essential oil cologne recipes, you can find many different blends.

However, some scents tend to be favored by men as more masculine. It all comes down to personal preference, but the key is finding a balanced blend of notes.

Notes are broken down into 3 types- top, middle, and base. Each oil has its own note, and it’s important that essential oil cologne recipes are complex, meaning they have all 3 types of notes.

Let’s take a closer look at the essential oils for men in this DIY cologne recipe:

  • 3 drops Benzoin Essential Oil- a base note with a sweet smell
  • 3 drops Frankincense Essential Oil- a base note with a spicy, woody smell
  • 4 drops Lime Essential Oil- a top note with a fresh citrus scent
  • 1 drop Lavender Essential Oil- a top/middle note with a relaxing floral scent
  • 3 drops Cedarwood Essential Oil- a base note with a woody scent
