Homemade Essential Oil Perfume Recipe

I love the fragrance of essential oils. So, this time I decided to make my own homemade essential oil perfume. But I will not only give one recipe but 5 different recipes. Everyone loves different fragrances. For this reason, I decided to make 5 different essential oil perfumes to achieve different fragrances.

I tried 2 floral perfume recipes, 1 earthy recipe, 1 citrus recipe, and 1 spicy recipe. Each one of these perfumes has amazing smell. I love them all. And it is super easy to mix them and make your own perfume.

When you are mixing the essential oils, you need to be careful about couple of things. I will talk about these points before getting deep inside the perfume recipes.

How to Mix Essential Oils for Your Homemade Perfume

All perfumes have different fragrances. These fragrances are called the notes of the perfumes. Perfumes generally have three different notes: top note, middle note, and base note. Base note is the most permanent one. So, for that reason, essential oil in base note tend to have the strongest smell among these notes.

When combining these essential oils, you need to be careful about the blending factor. Each essential oil has a different blending factor. This factors shows the strength of an essential oil.

While lime has blending factor of 3, jasmine has blending factor of 1. On the other hand, bergamot has blending factor of 7. Your total blending factor should correspond to 11.

When you are using other essential oils, you need to be careful about achieving this total blending factor.
