Outstanding DIY video. You get right to it in your methodology of building a fragrance. And it comes across understandable and simple enough that it gives me the confidence to try it out. Thank you for this video. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I have a view questions man. Firstly can something like this be used as a spray fragrance or purely a roll on oil and what is the longevity and projection on a formula like this?
I've used mryhh oil for years, it's different. Couple years ago a gal whom I knew at the pub asked what that scent was( she wanted to get it for her main dude).. I forgot about for a while, but with t trouble in Yemen I think it might be worth the effort to make some. Could make some change on t side.😅
Perfumes base is usually denatured alcohol. It’s an ethyl alcohol base with additives that make it toxic to consume. I went with a food safe alcohol thinking it would probably have fewer unintended health issues.
@@burbinghard thank you! I am looking into Fragrance designing to sell around my community. Perhaps if it’s well received I’ll start branching to online sales through a big market perfumery.
@@burbinghard I actually have another question. How is the longevity & projection on these fragrances? Usually synthetic fragrances have different chemicals to enhance the performance, and I was wondering how the homemade cologne holds up.
Since there are no artificial preservatives like formaldehyde and phthalates (that fragrance houses use) it doesn’t last all day. I apply again midday and at night if I want to.
@@DiscreetHustle any place that sells essential oils, tonics or tinctures. I think the last ones I got were from Plant Therapy, but there are other sellers that carry high quality and all natural oils. Just do your research.
Thank you Bro for the info. I'm trying this very thing. Is the best place to get the propeline glycol on line or can it be bought at a store ? Thanks again.
the base notes are the ones that you smell at the start the middle ones are the one you smell half way through and the top notes are the ones you smell more near the end?
I went with the food grade because your skin is an organ, and will absorb what you put on it. I don’t use any preservatives as most are harmful chemicals like formaldehyde. The downside is that an all natural cologne won’t last nearly as long so I need to reapply midday and evening.
The cost for the oils is the biggest expense. I’d estimate about $150 all in to start up. My wife uses the oils for other scent needs like laundry, baths, etc.
Hey! I have a question i am trying to make a cinnamon scented colonge similar to the spice bomb one but it smelling more towards the mid smell (I refer to mid smell as when for example. When you first spray it. Its at its strongest then it goes to it middle smell which is alittle less strong type) is what i am trying to go to. Any recommendations? Or tutorials you may be able to help me with
Look up the notes in the Spice bomb and try blending them in small batches until you find the right blend. Cinnamon is a strong smell that might overpower the others. But you can play with your formula in small amounts until you find the right ratios. There might also be recipes online for the homemade version of the scent you’re looking for.
You won’t replicate a fragrance by looking at the notes. Notes aren’t reality, they’re marketing. You’re better off looking up similar fragrances and trying them out to see which lean in your preferred direction.
Rose water is mild enough, but many essential oils will cause irritation if applied directly to the skin. You would generally dilute a concentrated oil, or put it in a carrier oil at least.
I make them in smaller batches and usually run out every 6 month. The scent needs to be reapplied mid day as it doesn’t have chemicals that prolong the scent like formaldehyde. 🤢
@@JaySinghIsImmature they are generally both ethanol alcohol. Good grade is readily available in stores and has been tested to be safe for human consumption.
I’m an all natural guy so I would rather not add something potentially harmful just to have a different color liquid. The glass itself can be a color so you don’t notice it, but I wouldn’t want to discolor my clothes from adding something like food color.
You would need a larger bottle, more alcohol and more drops. However, without adding preservatives the scent may go a little stale before you use it all up.
@@vladfather916 I use the oils for other things like laundry, bathing, etc. I only make small batches at a time. I’m not sure I would make a large quantity to last years.
Great vid, but I'd avoid ethylene or propylene glycol as they are toxic (it's the active ingredient in antifreeze) over time even in small doses and can cause skin irritation and (edit)non-reproductive organ harm. Perhaps an (edit)isopropyl or similar alcohol delivery form may be a better alternative for those who aren't allergic?
I would disagree with your assessment that food grade propylene glycol is toxic. It is GRAS (regarded as safe) for consumption in the US and in the EU. Alcohol has a lower freezing temperature than water, therefore would have “anti-freezing” properties. If the EU allows it in food product, I’m generally alright with it being in my skin. I don’t want to use ingredients that aren’t safe for consumption as the skin absorbs what is on it. I haven’t found much literature showing a danger of propylene glycol.
Traditionally Eau De Toilette has less purity, while an Eau De Perfume has higher concentration of fragrance/oil. 8-12% is usually a toilette, 12-18% is a perfume.
To be honest, not really. I have to reapply later in the day. Chemicals, like formaldehyde, that increase longevity in store bought cologne are what I’m trying to avoid putting on my body and inhaling.
Just a question if I come up with a really good smelling scent that a lot of people like can I sell it and make money off of it and make a name for it? Or I can't because those oils are someone else's scents from a certain company?
In theory you could. But perfume companies buy in bulk and use cheaper/ artificial fragrances. A scent mixture isn’t able to be trademarked and they are easy to copy.
You wouldn’t infringe any copyrights because notes aren’t something you can copyright. Moreover, notes in a fragrance aren’t reality. They’re just marketing. If you’re planning to start a line, you’ve got a long way to go. Just learning perfumery takes years.
I purchased most of the items through Amazon. Food grade propylene glycol for the carrier, and most of the oils were from a company named Plant Therapy.
Realistically how much should colognes cost? I paid $140 AUD for YSL Myself on a staff discount and while it smells nicer than a cheaper cologne, I don't undderstand the price spike, I've used cheap ones from Miniso before that i got for $10. I want to find the middle ground where I get the most top quality for my money whilst not paying for brands and packaging, it is at the very end of the day all about scent. so name and bottle really doesn't matter
To a point I would agree. Different brands pay for advertising and endorsements so there would be an associated cost. Also using fake fragrances vs natural scents create a large price difference. A company using real ambergris for example has to pass that cost onto the consumer.
No. The downside of not using chemicals like formaldehyde is that the scent wont last as long. You need to reapply it mid day. Heavier base notes last longer than top notes though.

I have a view questions man. Firstly can something like this be used as a spray fragrance or purely a roll on oil and what is the longevity and projection on a formula like this?
I just use my colognes and mix them and hope for the best
why use PG instead of alcohol or can you use both?

Wow, I never thought its so easy to make your own cologne. Thank you @Burbinghard
Very simple video with everything you need bra. Evb who see this put a W in the comments for this man‼️‼️💯♾️
Thanks for the support 🙏🏻
Nice and brief. Ty!
Could I ask why not perfumes base? I purchased all you mentioned, but the formula seems to be thicker than average cologne
Perfumes base is usually denatured alcohol. It’s an ethyl alcohol base with additives that make it toxic to consume. I went with a food safe alcohol thinking it would probably have fewer unintended health issues.
Can you make me a signature fragrance??
If you wanted to make a bigger bottle how would you measure this out with the drops and propylene glycol ?
Why do you use propylene glycol as a carrier? Im just trying to learn. What does that do? Also where did you buy those ingredients and tools?
Most of it can be picked up on Amazon
looking forward to trying this out
LOL, you smell different when you're awake! Thanks for the info my man, I'm definitely going to try this!
Hope you find your perfect blend!
I'm definitely going to sniff more sleeping people too. This is a great video, thank you.
Murder mystery 2 ahh music

*laughs to show my dominance
i like your style
love how hes straight business
Thanks for the video. Is this diluted enough for 33 drops of essential oil? I am just learning about this stuff.
Some of it is preference, but yes 33 drops for one of these bottles would work. It can also vary depending on how “pure” or strong your oils are.
Thanks. I really appreciate your video 👍
Glad it helped. I appreciate the support 🙏🏻
You look like a cool guy loved the video
I like all those scent gonna have to try that
Should I immediately mix the ingredients or allow the fragrance to rest for a period of time?
I usually mix right away, but if time is no factor you can let them mix for 24-48 hours.
@@burbinghard thank you! I am looking into Fragrance designing to sell around my community. Perhaps if it’s well received I’ll start branching to online sales through a big market perfumery.
@@burbinghard I actually have another question. How is the longevity & projection on these fragrances? Usually synthetic fragrances have different chemicals to enhance the performance, and I was wondering how the homemade cologne holds up.
@@Daizlol yes without the chemicals like formaldehyde it doesn’t last or project as much. I typically have to reapply mid day.
@@Daizlol a trick I learned about a year ago, is to mix it with some Vaseline(petroleum jelly) then apply that. It last way longer.
Keep up the good work bro 💪
This is a great tutorial but you’re supposed to dilute the oils using water and/or alcohol for safe application to skin
Yes, I use food grade alcohol in the tutorial.
Essential oils are safe for the skin on there own anyways lol
Hey nice vid man, just wondering what is the longevity of the fragrances?
Since there are no artificial preservatives like formaldehyde and phthalates (that fragrance houses use) it doesn’t last all day. I apply again midday and at night if I want to.
I liked the ending 😅😅
Can I use xanthium gum in place of Propylene Glycol?
does it smell just like a real cologne? or just like some good smelling herbal medicine

Hello, How long does this last when applied?
Where do you buy essential oils in bulk for a good price?
Thank you Bro for the info. I'm trying this very thing. Is the best place to get the propeline glycol on line or can it be bought at a store ? Thanks again.
It’s pretty common so you could probably go with either option. Amazon or the local supermarket (if they stock it).
Use perfumers alcohol
Love it!! And the end caught me off guard 💀
The ending caught me so off guard man :D :D :D nice tutorial! :D
Hey burbinghard, what does this cologne smell like?
how would i put it in a 100ml bottle, and would there be a way i could add water to it?
can i use absolutes the same way instead of essential oils?
hi, would you recommend sandal wood & mint combination?
the base notes are the ones that you smell at the start the middle ones are the one you smell half way through and the top notes are the ones you smell more near the end?
@@shades448 other way around. The lighter notes usually are noticed first while the base notes are heavier and linger.
Isn't there usually some sort of alcohol included in the mix to help with projection?
Yes perfumers alcohol is usually used as the odor free carrier. The glycol is alcohol in this mix.
@@burbinghard Ah, okay. Thanks for explaining :)
Great content where can I get the supplies to make my own
Surprised at ratio of oil to carrier. Assumed it wd be very light with more carrier or alcohol. Have you ever added a vaseline tyoe substance at all ?
Is the carrier the thing that makes or breaks the ability for it to last 1 hour to 24 hours?
I believe it’s the chemical preservatives, like formaldehyde, that prevent the breakdown.
Just one question... How long does it last???
Whats does the food grade do to the cologne 🤔? (Glycol) What makes the scent last long?
I went with the food grade because your skin is an organ, and will absorb what you put on it. I don’t use any preservatives as most are harmful chemicals like formaldehyde. The downside is that an all natural cologne won’t last nearly as long so I need to reapply midday and evening.
@@burbinghard oh okay cool. What about the rose Mary water you added, what effect does it have on the smell?
@@larrylovejr82 it’s just to add a hint of a floral scent. It could just have easily been rose oil. They are made by different processes is all.
@@burbinghard oh okay cool, Thank you so much.
@@burbinghardwhat abt grapeseed oil
Nice video 👏👏 finally I’ll try to bring back Black XS 2005
Where do u get all the oils and products to make your own fragrances?
what was the cost? just curious if it'd be cheaper or not to craft or make my own
The cost for the oils is the biggest expense. I’d estimate about $150 all in to start up. My wife uses the oils for other scent needs like laundry, baths, etc.
I use water/lotion/vanilla/bicarb free anti oderant/hand soap (optional) and a glob of caramel scent body creme trust me o this one
In the 90s me and my best friend tried to make cologne out of fruits and chips 😂😂
Where to buy this all insturument sir

What website should I buy the oils/concentrates from
Young Living
if you only want one scent (in my case roses) can you do the same thang with only one oil and rosewater?
Rose water is mild enough, but many essential oils will cause irritation if applied directly to the skin. You would generally dilute a concentrated oil, or put it in a carrier oil at least.
Quick recipe for you to try:
Rose Otto diluted to 10% in fractionated coconut oil.
Add it to a rollerball and apply to skin.
Can you give us a list where we can get all of these. I found some of the oils on Amazon but not all of the ingredients I cant find.
I usually compare prices from different places but many of mine came from Plant Therapy.
Looks great. How long will it keep? And does the fragrance last once applied?
I make them in smaller batches and usually run out every 6 month. The scent needs to be reapplied mid day as it doesn’t have chemicals that prolong the scent like formaldehyde. 🤢
@@burbinghard Thank you for the help. Would it help to use perfumer's alcohol?
@@JaySinghIsImmature they are generally both ethanol alcohol. Good grade is readily available in stores and has been tested to be safe for human consumption.
@burbinghard..... Are you saying that the propelyne glycol is basically ethanol alcohol?
Does propalyne glycol work well as a spray?
No. It’s too thick to spray and is very polar so it will make the oils smells even less
@@a.j.laplace4216so what can I use for spray
What could you add to change the color?
I’m an all natural guy so I would rather not add something potentially harmful just to have a different color liquid. The glass itself can be a color so you don’t notice it, but I wouldn’t want to discolor my clothes from adding something like food color.
@@burbinghard ok thanks
@@fkgoogle666why would try to change the color
Not sure how I came across this vid but tbh this is actually pretty Chadly.
😂
Were do you get all the ingredients
Ok but how do make it have notes like cherry honey or caramel since there is no oil like that??
Would Perfume Grade Ethanol (95PGF4 Ethanol) work too?
Yes. Don’t ever use Propylene Glycol as the main carrier for the ingredients. It should only be used to help dilute materials.
@@texasfan8892and even then, materials meant for an alcohol based fragrance should be diluted in alcohol.
Just wondering the cost for 100ml
I've been seeing some vids say let it mature for 3 weeks is that something that has to be done or does it depend?
You can let it blend for a couple days. I haven’t noticed a huge difference though if I’m being honest.
How would I make it so that i would have more fragrance, like 100 ml
You would need a larger bottle, more alcohol and more drops. However, without adding preservatives the scent may go a little stale before you use it all up.
Thanks ..Can someone just tell me how to mixed the discontinued Axe scent "Touch" is there a data base for scents and formulas?
Does it really save you a lot of money buying all those essential oils and do you end up having a huge amount of cologne that will expire?

Are these just the essential oils?
I'm trying to make lotion bars. You smell diff when you're awake is my oldest pick up line.
let's figure this out! ty-to snap
wait could i add distilled water to like dilute it or whatever im new to this lol?
No, if you don’t want it as “strong “ you would just use less oil.
What would make it a perfume versus a toilette?!
Traditionally Eau De Toilette has less purity, while an Eau De Perfume has higher concentration of fragrance/oil. 8-12% is usually a toilette, 12-18% is a perfume.
mine has no top notes the only reason i’m making it is bc my friend made his own “mystery fragrance” so obviously i had to put up some competition.
How can you do this with 100ml
