I had a perfume blending lesson in Grasse, France last year where I learnt how to blend a harmonic perfume. First you need to be blind-folded and choose the base note you like. Then you choose a variety of body notes and drop some on test papers (the ones you get from perfume shops). You put the test paper together with your base, see if they go together. Then you blend your base and body together, and repeat the test-paper-process with top note.
Willow Huxley Im french and I don’t understand this comment but I see « Grasse, France » and I want to say I am proud, I am French ! Sorry, I don’t speak English very Nice because i’m 12 Bye
As a Perfumer, you NEVER use Vodka! Use Perfumers Alcohol Denatured. THAT is why you have a filmy, foggy look to your perfume...Research before you tell others how to do their own scents. I GUARANTEE your perfume will not only go sour, but the fragrance will fade very quickly! Trust me, I learned by THESE MISTAKES, and that is how we learn...
Thank you so much. I’m new at making my perfume at l mixed all the ingredients and it has been sitting for 3 weeks and it has not mixed yet. I made a cherry fragrance oil. What l’m doing wrong. Will please help me. Thank You in advance.
I love this. You're so creative and you have a great aura about you. I really want to try this because I'm all about making my own products that way I know they're vegan.
Raaa, how crafty and simple it looks like! Thank you for this lovely tutorial! I was just spontaneously playing with my first blend and suddenly deciding to check for some guidance and voilà, I found you, very glad to!
Sorry but the drops are too many for such a small bottle. The recipe you posted would be okay for a pint of alcohol, or two cups. Tangerine and other citrus oils can burn skin at those amounts, and cinnamon and cloves and nutmeg can burn skin at one drop per cup, so you have to use micro drops and dilutions. But it sounds like it would be a great perfume.
Actually it is not. That’s like a 3.5% concentration, maybe 4 ish with the vanilla. The vanilla is a tincture. So hard to tell. I’m not saying this is how you should make a perfume. But from what I can tell they are within recommended limits. I’m not sure what limits on tangerine are. But 4 drops would be about .100g. That’s like .5% which should be fine.
I just LOVE watching your videos. I do try them out and nothing has disappointed me so far. For some reason, you give away a pure aura and that makes me to follow what you do.. 🤗
Any ideas as to how I can find out if an essential oil is a base, mid or high note? Additionally, how does oil vs vodka change the perfume recipes? And is there a difference in the ratios needed for oil, alcohol, or solid (oil and wax) perfumes?
Very nice, I love making perfumes as well. It`s such a treat for the mind. Putting words to scents, mixing materials...the creative process is never ending. Thanks so much for sharing! Matt
I've just found your channel and I love it! I've just startes making my own cosmetics and your videos have helped me a lot. Thank you for all the useful information and for taking the time to share it with us!
Ela, I am so glad that I found you here! I am a total newbie, just getting started with essential oils. & all that is natural. I appreciate that you give so much detail-written, verbal, & demonstrations! It is very helpful. Thank you for sharing! As for the morons who gave a thumbs-down....how could you?! Get a life, & stop hating, please!
this is the first video i watch from you, Ela and i thank you sooo much for uploading it and for taking your time to write this desciption. it's very nice to know the exact dosage. that's what i was looking for. i wonder if they are the same for different essential oils? some are stronger than others so i guess you have to change it up a little for each one, right?
I love your recipes. Did anybody told u how calming is hour voice? I just watched some of ur videos and i feel calmer and relaxed & happy. Thank u so much for ur work. And more raw vegan recipes pls! ❤️ i love the cabbage roll a lot
Thank you for making this video!!! It is something I've been thinking about doing for awhile. Your measurements and information will help a lot! I did know to find out what notes each oil is and to blend some of each.... I didn't know to add them in a specific order. Now I do! 😉
I just adore your videos. Your ideas, the way you film, your calming voice. All so unique. Keep up the amazing work I'll definitely be trying this :) xoxo
This is so wonderful.. I have been looking for an alternative to those horrible perfumes in the department stores.. I have such a bad allergic reaction to them.. I am definitely gonna try your recipes but I think I’ll try them with the Jojoba oil instead of the alcohol.. Thank you!!!
I use essential oils in my bath and with facial oil, I thought it would be too hard to make perfume but you make it so easy to understand, will rush out tomorrow and stock up on my favourite oils and vodka!! PS I first got interested in oils years ago when I met a lady from Israel who used oils she smelled sooooooh good I had to ask her what she used, I think it was patchouli and rose so I will try that!
You mention that one could use volka or Jojoba oil. You mention the amount of alcohol to use for the recipe but you didn't say how much jojoba oil one could use. Is it the same as the amount of alcohol?
Love the perfume bottle idea. I will now be on the lookout for amazing bottles. Great details on your information. Thanks for the work behind it all!!!
Ella, th is is great. I made it and love the smell, but your proportions don’t add up. 3.4ml of vanilla extract is 68 drops, not 55 as you mentioned. Does it matter? Should we do the 55 drops, or the 3.4ml? Also, you mentions 90 drops of essential oil, is that including the vanilla (since you only used 34 drops of ess. oil total)? Thank you for your great channel!❤
The questions is how long it going to last? For extra tips dissolve all the oil in alfox 200 then it will turn into something called water soluble perfume and then mix vodka. For fixative use some strong oil:)
+Ela Gale I absolutely LOVE this! Im into essential oils & Im very excited to try this out. I hate using perfume, only because it gives me such a horrible head ache. Essential are a lot better and healthier...great video!!! xo
ahhhh this is so exciting :D i cant wait to experiment, i saw that the website im getting my essential oils from has 10% off on monday, so im definitely getting some extra to make up a nice perfume ^^ thanks for at great video once again ela :D
I am looking forward to making this :) Thank You for your thorough explanations, I appreciate you taking the time to share as much as you do. I am a new subscriber and have already enjoyed three of your videos. Happy New Year !
truly Ms u have incredible choice of topics n d best part dey r homemade n all natural Lady pls tell how to make homemade all organic soaps with quantity specifications.Like I have abundant aloevera n want to make their soaps
Great video! How did you manage to get the essential oils to visibly blend into the vodka without separation?? I've actually tried this and they only temporarily blend if I shake the solution before each use.
Hi Ela - I'm so happy that I found you. I think that people from New Zealand are "the cream of the crop" in humanity - simply lovely folks. Thank you for this information! I will become a subscriber and look forward to seeing more of your videos - Best to you! t.
Sophie Mccall If you are having any burning sensations, I would go to an allergist to see if you have a possible allergy to it. Essential oils shouldn’t burn, but it all depends on your particular body and how it responds to high concentrates of natural substances. Just because it’s natural doesn’t mean it can’t harm! If you have sensitive skin I would recommend only using a base oil and scented oils. (No alcohol).
I believe she was referring to the chemicals that don't belong anywhere near our bodies, but companies use them anyway. Yes I do agree that is too many drops for that bottle. Lavender is perfectly fine for an every day perfume. Some essential oils do burn if you don't dilute them properly like cinnamon, clove, oregano, ect. They are considered "hot" oils and you should follow the max derm limits when using them. Same goes for citrus oils.
@@_archynx_9143 I'm a professional candle maker and perfume maker, you can only have up to about 5% essential oil take for a perfume that goes against skin due to the nature of the essential oil. Fragrance oils are much better, allowing 10% for a perfume. It's not about my skin, it's about legal requirements and how safe the perfume you're making is. This, unsurprisingly, isn't that safe.
Any tips for making your own essential oil out of flowers, especially honey suckle? I can't find any good information on how to do it, anywhere online? What kind of oil do you use?
all u have to do is use a base oil like grapeseed(its the best...its weak and has no scent)and whatever flower u will use......ive already made clove, cinnamon, ginger, lemon, lime, basil and sage oils and am going to make rose, carnation, and lilac....i love honeysuckle....ill have to try that one. im a very longtime cancer warrior and i have a cancer page on Facebook and often post recipes of my recipes and diy things i make, including smoothies, juices and waters and things like lip balms, lotions and tons of other stuff.....its called FAQ Cancer....come find me and i can add u!!
no...they can just be muddled and simmer in grapeseed oil for hours..ive already made citrus and spice essential oils that way and its the exact same for flowers..i use them in everything from homemade lotions, body sprays, lip balms and leave in hair conditioners
Hi dear, you are just wonderful. I love the step by step explanation in your video. Please, can I use methanol or ethernol in place of vodka? I will appreciate a response. Thank you.
Thank you for this! I really like your channel! I look forward to when my perfume is ready. I love your diy hack reusing a perfume bottle too. Nice work! :)
What I would like to know is where I can get the exact perfume bottle that you are using. It will make it easier for me to measure how much vodka or jojoba oil I need. I wish there was some info in the description box about good perfume bottles that can be used.
What do you mean by 'across the different notes'? do you mean that there should be one essential oil from each note? Also, is it true that one should only combine three essential oil at one time? - Thank you :-)
oh this one is d best diy!! but I read somewhere that alcohol isn't good for skin. will this receipe affect d skin? n does d oil stain d clothes? m definitely trying this☺
Thanks for sharing! Want to try your way of making homemade vanilla essential oil, but can I use the same way to make cinnamon essential oil? Have u ever try that? thank you:)
i'm totally making myself a cedarwood perfume, been looking for a commercial one forever and couldn't find one :/ so thank you :3 now I can smell like a forest of pine trees lol
Even her voice sounds natural. I know that doesn't make sense but there's something so natural about the way it sounds I swear I could listen to this woman all day xD
+Caitlin Briana I've used natural perfume oils before without any staining problems; just apply them to your skin first & let them absorb/dry a bit before putting on your clothes. Probably wouldn't risk wearing oils with a good silk blouse, but basically any more durable fabric should be fine :)
I feel that you should have mentioned that 120proof or 94% or higher grain alcohol. Don’t use isopropyl it damages oils. Reason vetiver didn’t blend is the proof of alcohol was too low. Some oils like resins may need to be dispersed in a carrier oil 1st like almond/apricot that disperse oil in alcohol easier. .
Hi, I have very sensitive skin so perfume it a nightmare so I love this, thank you! Strange question, I smelt a new-ish perfume and the best way I can describe it is that it smelt like the sea, any suggestions as to which oils I could use to make that kind of smell? The perfume is called Acqua d'Elba
Hi, don't know if this is the one you mean, but on Fragrantica site, they describe the scent as follows: Classica Women by Acqua dell Elba is a Floral Aquatic fragrance for women. The fragrance features sea notes, labdanum, orange blossom, myrtle, gardenia, jasmine, woody notes and orange. www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Acqua-dell-Elba/Classica-Women-21909.html Hope it helps :-) the sea notes are still a mystery :-(
Hello,just wondering if its possible to homogenize all these essential oils and jojoba oil ? i had made a perfume with essential oils and jojoba oil ;essential oils sit at the bottom.i do not want to use alcohol.my perfume is not homogenize and its kind of thick .Any suggestions ? Thanks
Do you have another option other than a vodka because I have a sensitive skin I don't want to use vodka can you something else I can makes the perfume with
Thanks so much for this video! The Fragrance notes chart is very very useful (however the link u've provided below doesn't work so i took a picture of your video). May I ask if I wanted to recreate a fragrance that i like consisting of these notes: Top notes: Lemon, Bergamot Middle notes: Neroli, Magnolia Base notes: Jasmine, Iris, Musk, how many drops do I have to use and do I just choose some instead of using all? And I've watched another video which suggests that it's possible to use a Rose Water/ Vanilla base- do u reckon that'll work?
I had a perfume blending lesson in Grasse, France last year where I learnt how to blend a harmonic perfume. First you need to be blind-folded and choose the base note you like. Then you choose a variety of body notes and drop some on test papers (the ones you get from perfume shops). You put the test paper together with your base, see if they go together.

All of this while still blind folded?

Gristle Von Raben thanks for the info!
Not true I put 10 drops of Bergamonte oil on my arm to smell it never had burning problems Teatree in nostrils and ears non of the other E oils

I’m not saying this is how you should make a perfume. But from what I can tell they are within recommended limits. I’m not sure what limits on tangerine are. But 4 drops would be about .100g. That’s like .5% which should be fine.
I think I would just drink the vodka
you can always do that while you make the perfume xD

The same amount but you should adjust the amount of oils to between 20 and 30 max.
Sarah Zeeb with jojoba oil and Fragrance oil, it becomes oil when you spray it on skin, should I add anything to it to make it not oily on skin

Alcohol is the main nasty chemical... and lavender is too strong to be used for an everyday perfume. I recommend vanilla, neroli, ginger...
And the amount of essential oils used is far too high, it ll burn skin after a while
Sophie Mccall what type of oil are you using that burns your skin?👀

Any tips for making your own essential oil out of flowers, especially honey suckle? I can't find any good information on how to do it, anywhere online? What kind of oil do you use?
GurlDotCom's perfume diy is flowers that might help!
you will need to extract the natural oils from the flowers, this process is very tedious and temperature sensitive
Melissa0774 a lot of essential oils are extracted using super critical co2 extract. Not something you can do at home, unfortunately.
all u have to do is use a base oil like grapeseed(its the best...its weak and has no scent)and whatever flower u will use......ive already made clove, cinnamon, ginger, lemon, lime, basil and sage oils and am going to make rose, carnation, and lilac....i love honeysuckle....ill have to try that one. im a very longtime cancer warrior and i have a cancer page on Facebook and often post recipes of my recipes and diy things i make, including smoothies, juices and waters and things like lip balms, lotions and tons of other stuff.....its called FAQ Cancer....come find me and i can add u!!
no...they can just be muddled and simmer in grapeseed oil for hours..ive already made citrus and spice essential oils that way and its the exact same for flowers..i use them in everything from homemade lotions, body sprays, lip balms and leave in hair conditioners
Thank you so much for this! I'm a beginner in perfume making and your instructions along with your visuals were so helpful.
This is so awesome! I have been wanting a good perfume guide for some time
Does it matter what type of alcohol you use, as far as a certain amount of proof?
Hi dear, you are just wonderful. I love the step by step explanation in your video. Please, can I use methanol or ethernol in place of vodka? I will appreciate a response. Thank you.
You always have the best natural DIYs!
I love that perfume bottle I have that same one, but in a display size I got from a vintage shop. :)
Amazing for christmas gifts!!!! How long does it last once you spray it on your skin???
It didnt work for me I smell like poo still
Thank you for this! I really like your channel! I look forward to when my perfume is ready. I love your diy hack reusing a perfume bottle too. Nice work! :)
Great oil and nice notes for your own perfume given me so morn ideas
What I would like to know is where I can get the exact perfume bottle that you are using. It will make it easier for me to measure how much vodka or jojoba oil I need. I wish there was some info in the description box about good perfume bottles that can be used.

I love watching your videos! I love all your natural recipes and I think your just so gorgeous.
searching for a natural perfumes for research purposes and i found this thank you :)
Did I understand you right, you use alcohol and Vodka and Jojobaoil? Or did you mean with alcohol the vodka ? Thanks for replying !:)
Your channel is amazing. You have the most beautiful spirit! :)
The bottle is from the perfume "So De La Renta" by Oscar De La Renta
oh this one is d best diy!! but I read somewhere that alcohol isn't good for skin. will this receipe affect d skin? n does d oil stain d clothes?
m definitely trying this☺
Your formulation is sweet as you keep it up make more video on strong mild perfume....
Thanks for sharing! Want to try your way of making homemade vanilla essential oil, but can I use the same way to make cinnamon essential oil? Have u ever try that? thank you:)
i'm totally making myself a cedarwood perfume, been looking for a commercial one forever and couldn't find one :/ so thank you :3 now I can smell like a forest of pine trees lol
Hello are you still making your parfume
First video I watched and I pressed subscribe straight away! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Even her voice sounds natural. I know that doesn't make sense but there's something so natural about the way it sounds
I swear I could listen to this woman all day xD
Love this video! Will the perfume stain clothes? I heard that can happen with essential oils
+Caitlin Briana I've used natural perfume oils before without any staining problems; just apply them to your skin first & let them absorb/dry a bit before putting on your clothes. Probably wouldn't risk wearing oils with a good silk blouse, but basically any more durable fabric should be fine :)

Love that Kiwi accent, as well as the perfume formula. Thank you very much. 🙂👍
I heard that the scents need to be reapplied throughout the day, is that true? Just wondering how long they last after spraying on the skin?
How do you find the longevity in comparison to regular perfumes?
Hi. If I haven’t got a vanilla vodka, can I use something else? Or can I just not include that?
Thank you
I think she is saying she used vodka and vanilla extract...
great channel, i love what you do and i really love your accent!
this video thank you so much for this video will totally try this- i love all your videos and you look beautiful as usual!
I heard Pachouli smells great. Is that a base, mid or high?
I'd like to ask about the ingredients why do you need a vodka to a perfume? Does it make the perfume long lasting or whatever?
I love this vidéo Thank you so much. I can waith to make some for me and my Kids. All youre vidéo are stuning and verry instructif.
Hi, I have very sensitive skin so perfume it a nightmare so I love this, thank you! Strange question, I smelt a new-ish perfume and the best way I can describe it is that it smelt like the sea, any suggestions as to which oils I could use to make that kind of smell? The perfume is called Acqua d'Elba
Hi, don't know if this is the one you mean, but on Fragrantica site, they describe the scent as follows: Classica Women by Acqua dell Elba is a Floral Aquatic fragrance for women. The fragrance features sea notes, labdanum, orange blossom, myrtle, gardenia, jasmine, woody notes and orange. www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Acqua-dell-Elba/Classica-Women-21909.html
Hope it helps :-) the sea notes are still a mystery :-(
That's a great help! Thanks!!
I found a cologne recipe for my husband and thought I saved it, would you happen to know of a mens smell? ~Jacqueline
Hi, can I use only one essential oil for the parfume? Like coconut vanilla?
can you use rubbing alcohol?
your voice is calming 😍 thanks for the info anyway
Do i need to perform a patch test to check whether i might be allergic to the essential oil after i dilute it?
I really like your video can you use witch-hazel in place of vodka or maybe even rubbing alcohol in place of vodka?

What if I were to use extracts like vanilla or cherry or strawberry. Would that be bad or a good thing

Hi 👋
Hello,just wondering if its possible to homogenize all these essential oils and jojoba oil ? i had made a perfume with essential oils and jojoba oil ;essential oils sit at the bottom.i do not want to use alcohol.my perfume is not homogenize and its kind of thick .Any suggestions ? Thanks
Do you have another option other than a vodka because I have a sensitive skin I don't want to use vodka can you something else I can makes the perfume with
some fragrances denature over time so they will fade if left too long in storage, maybe keeping it in the fridge may help some
Is it just a third each, of base middle and top notes, to make up the percentage of fragrance?
Thanks so much for this video! The Fragrance notes chart is very very useful (however the link u've provided below doesn't work so i took a picture of your video).
May I ask if I wanted to recreate a fragrance that i like consisting of these notes:
Top notes: Lemon, Bergamot
Middle notes: Neroli, Magnolia
Base notes: Jasmine, Iris, Musk,
how many drops do I have to use and do I just choose some instead of using all?
And I've watched another video which suggests that it's possible to use a Rose Water/ Vanilla base- do u reckon that'll work?

Thank you most perfumes I use smells of alcohol. I will certainly try these mixtures
What does the vodka do
how do i store it? should i let it steep in a freezer or shake and use?
