So you’re saying allow the Essential Oil Blends to sit for a week and then add the carrier oil and let sit for a month, or blend everything and let sit a week to a month?
I'm still in school for Aromatherapy. So far I've made balms, hair spray, incense, candles, inhalers, toner, serum, bath salts, sugar and salt scrubs. I love the class so much so that now I want to make all types of products.
@@SC2Klepto So happy for you! Please may I ask which aromatherapy school did you attend? I would love to do a course and learn how to make natural beauty products / oils. Wish you all the best on your amazing journey ahead!
"Start small if you want to create your signature scent to make sure that you really like your blend: Create a 20 ml perfume with this mix: Mix 4 ml of high quality essential oils: • 12 drops of topnotes (e.g. 6 drops of sweet orange & 6 drops of grapefruit) • 24 drops of middlenotes (e.g. 18 drops of bergamot & 6 drops of geranium) • 44 drops of base notes (e.g. 14 drops of YlangYlang & 30 drops of Vanilla) Let the blend marinade for about 1 week. Then: Dilute with 16ml (sweet) almond oils as carrier oil +1g of vitamin E- oil (as an antioxidant) Leave the mix for about a month to get the best out of your perfume. :)" Credit goes to Elise. ❤ Thank you for sharing!!
Just a guy randomly being suggested this video for some reason. TH-cam scoring a good suggestion again. I've been buying a lot of fragrances recently after deciding I'd like to smell better than neutral and ditching the tacky mens deodorant almost a decade ago I think it's a good call. It's nice to smell nice to yourself to others is just a benefit. Also BTW really well produced video, music is nice but subtle not loud, nice during audio and after in edit, editing, presenting, information. Comes across very professional. I honestly expected the channel to be larger in terms of viewership considering the quality of content, if that is what you're trying to do then you'll get there soon enough. Respect.
We call these type of oil perfumes "pilgrim oil" because the pilgrims brought them to gift visiting people after visiting Meccah and Medina. I later learned they actually bought these roller perfumes after they returned 😅 There were a lot of different smells and some of them a bit funkier or heavy. I have one orange blossom at the moment which smells divine. You apply them to inside of the wrists, rub them together and also rub to your neck area if you prefer so. Also as a side note, if you have herbs or flowers with strong scents, you can make infusions by putting them inside the carrier oil and after a while (about a month) you strain it for use. May help you with formulations. Although beware that some planta doesnt transfer the smell to infusion.
I made my own oil perfume on a Friday mom and let it sit for over the weekend and then put the bottle in warm/hot water for about 30 minutes to an hour it smelled amazing. I then gifted it on Monday. Now she is sharing with all our girl students and even some of the men are asking for it and willing to pay for it. ❤
@@pixiebomb28 it lets the oil marinate, mix and mangle. Fuse together. The warm water brings every to the same temp almost same consistency so they mangle faster. Sorry for replying so late I took a break from social media. Hopes this helps🤗
This is the best content on perfume creation I've seen. Best content!! I've literally searched through 50 to 70 videos and this is the best. Please for further research on perfume creation can you either do another video or post a link on where to go. I love the relationship examples too...made me laugh a lot. Love it. Thanks ❤️
The analogy was amazing! It will be so easy to remember and now I’ll never look at a relationship quite the same way again! What an amazing instructor you are!
I just discovered you! Girl, instantly subscribed. 🙌🏼 😀. I’m tryna create an old jasmin vanilla scent that was discontinued at bath a body works. Probably won’t be exact but I’m willing to try. Dunno what note Jasmin is tho 😀
Aw thanks for subbing! Ooh that's great, it definitely softens the blow of a discontinued fragrance when you know you can at least try to make something similar at home! Jasmine oil is middle to base note so you can use as either. Good luck! 😊💚
Jasmine can be bought as Jasmine Sambac Absolute, it's one of the most expensive items on the market, you could mix this with Vanilla Absolute (Madagascar) which is also an incredibly expensive extraction. I can assure you B&BW does not use those items. Jasmine: (Benzyl acetate,(Sweet, fruity, floral) Hedione (citrus, jasmine), tetrahydro linalool, (Citrus) geranyl acetate (rose), indolone (moth balls, cow manure), dihydro eugenol (clove oil), Ebanol(sandalwood)) + Vanillin (vanilla). This wont be a perfume however, those two notes will be flat without musks, and supporting woody notes.
Learn to make perfume and to love the art of perfumery before you decide to make it a business. Also you will need to really learn proper ratios and how to match scents, and how to dilute. Theirs a difference between essential oil perfumes and atomizer perfumes make with perfumers alcohol (biggest tip! Don't use drops, measure in grams). Goodluck!
Loved the analogy for the different notes, Very funny. It seems that you know a lot on the subject of aromatherapy I have read a few books on the subject and I plan to get into it when I retire. Its better seeing and hearing (for me) than just reading. I just subscribed.
I could literally smell the scent from my living room. You really connect with your audience as if we are right there with you. You content is simple and straightforward. I've been formulating with herbs for about a year. I don't really like perfumes but everyone around me does so I thought why not. I'm blessed to stumble on your video as a sign that I have the blessing to proceed. I intend to teach these skills to young people in South Africa, where unemployment and inequality are the highest in the world. Ase'!
i literally watch all of your videos daily!! i am creating my skin care line right now and i wanted to start out on the right foot, i’m so excited … thank you for these videos , they’re so detailed and they really work! amazing!!
11 months after this video was posted, but I just wanted to say, "THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING ALL OF THIS (mostly) THOROUGHLY!!!!" I have been researching all of this but I never understood it all. After watching this, I now feel more confident and have more motivation for doing this kind of stuff 😁😁😁
I am finally figuring out my interest after years in corporate ladder. Your videos are really helping can't wait to try making my own fragrances. Always been a fan of perfumes but thought the very nice ones were quite costly
Ok not to be weird but when you described it as hit it and quit it I was sold. I have my BS degree in Chemistry and I always wanted to be a perfume chemist for as long as I can remember. I have a very sensitive nose and my children do as well. Now that I am older and I am aligning my business to be self propelling I will now do this. Thank you!!!!
Question. Isn't perfume supposed to contain some kind of alcohol? Wouldn't it stain clothes if it doesn't contain alcohol? Also, thanks for explaining everything in detail 🌼
Yes, typical perfumes use non denatured high proof alcohol...not carrier oil. Carrier oils are good for diluting essential oils that when one wants to apply it to the skin like a lotion for therapeutic purposes - and yes, unless the body absorbs most of it and/or it is not rubbed in enough one can get their clothes stained from a carrier oil. Although in small amounts it's not likely to be a problem. Also, if one is using a larger amount (more carrier oil less essential oil) like a therapeutic massage oil, if one leaves it on for a period of time to give time for the body to absorb - One can bath/shower with warm water only after which can remove excess oil and even the towels after to be used for drying won't get stained. Yet there will still be a slight smell good of the skin after - although not nearly as much as a perfume, but no staining of clothes.
if you want to make it sprayable, you’ll need to dilute with perfume, but this is for rubbing. also glycerin is very important cos it makes perfumes last longer.
I just loved this.. From a few days I've become so obsessed about perfume making that I started researching about it but I was a lil bit disappointed as I couldn’t find any resourceful tutorial about it. Then I found this video & I'm so glad that you shared so many things with us. Also u are amazing.. Also, I would love to see more amazing perfume diy. Hugs & kisses for u. ❤️❤
This woman is adorable, I can't stop seeing her magical way of speaking and I forget the subject hhhh, truly professional what you teach thank you, well done, I always follow you
Yes.... Glad your channel has this much information. My favourite perfume was recently discontinued and the few people that have it are selling them at extortionate prices on eBay. That's when the idea of making my own perfume came in. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. New subbie!!!!
@@worldview2134 hum thanks! I was curious about the use of other oils as carriers. I've been using water so far, I know they don't mix well but yea it works for me.
Great video! Thanks. I'm so glad that you mention the importance of diluting the essential oil blends in a carrier oil before the perfume can be applied topically. Too many people are using essential oils neat on their skin.
I love how you advised well, about applying an anti oxidant to reduce rancidity and diluting essential oils appropiately, definitely subscribing. I formulate organic skincare but i would love to formulate natural perfumes. So thank you for this!!😁
Thank you. This is the video I was intending to search for, but I still need to gather more information. Through essential oil manufacturers, they say some oils should be diluted no more than 2% while other can go up to 5%. I have gathered 9 essential oils and diluted in a bottle a total of 4% EOs and 96% carrier oil, and the result was a nicely done oil smelling 100% avocado 😂 however, this video shocks me with 20% dilution!!! 😱 have you used it for years and got no skin rashes? 💭 🤨
This is interesting! I think that I’ll use a minimal to moderate amount of top-note oils and larger amounts of base-notes since I would like to have more long-lasting fragrances as perfumes, bath oils, soaps, and air refreshers. Also, I’ll pretty much use more sweet-smelling scents since I lean toward those scents, but I don’t mind woody and slightly spicy ones.
I really appreciate this video. I bought a ton of essential oils thinking i would become a certified aroma therapist but never did. do what to do with all my product?! Thankfully, I found your channel and have all sorts of ideas for my stockpile. Thank you!
This is just what I needed I am about starting a perfume business, I want to go purchase stuffs and try out my first perfume and I popped in to this, thanks a lot for your detailed and friendly explanation. Pls can you make one for alcohol perfumes I mean the one that’s not oil perfume
I’ve just come across this channel I love it. Quick question 🙋♂️: how do you determine how much of each oil and carrier oil to use depending on each size (ie: 10ml bottle , 30ml bottle and 50ml bottles )
Thank you for sharing your video. I have also used essential oils using vodka an ounce then letting it settle for a week or two then add purified or distilled water like 3-4 ounces and again letting it settle for another 2-3 weeks for a nice body spritzer. Like the oil version as well for its moisturizing. I shared your video with my Massage Therapy students you are knowledgeable and entertaining.
Hello. Great content! :) I see you put the essential oils together for 1 week, then you add the carrier oil and vitamin E, and leave it for another month. What is the benefit of not mixing and leaving all the ingredients together at the same time? Also, i see you use brown/amber glass. All oil-based perfumes I've ever bought came in clear glass. Is the brown/Amber glass just for the marinating stage, or after that too?
You are a god send I have been planning to make my own perfume for a while now, but I didn’t know where to begin,but now you made things easier for me and I’m very grateful for tht❤✨🙏🏼
Such a great video Elise! Love the relationship analogies 😂 Can’t wait to make this and to check out all your other recipes. I’ve just switched to diy beauty and skincare and am loving it ❤️🙏🏻
Love this diy. Do you think a frosted roll-on bottle good to use or just amber roll-on? Could you explain to me how did you come with the math equation to the drops you use in your perfume on this video? Thank you 😊
Ooh perfect timing! Yeah I had the same problem, this is quite a dense video to get through but I thought it'd be helpful to have all of the information in one place. Thanks hun! 😊
I love how you explained everything so easy to understand and it made me excited to try! I can't wait to experiment with different aromas. Thanks for this tutorial 🙂 please do cream perfume next!
Your YT channel and website are incredible. I hope you remain active - what amazing resources! So lovely to watch, so helpful to find formulations that seem like they are put together by someone who really tested them and beautifully organized. This is just wonderful.
Nice guide and thank you. What i don't really understand is why some people use 1:2:3 in the order of base:mid:top. Their concept is since top notes are lighter molecules you need more of them to stay longer. can you enlighten me, please?
what about the alcohol and dpg in a perfume, does a perfume really hold that long with just the essential oils and jojoba oil ? plus can I mix synthetic oils in this
Stumbled upon this and absolutely loved it. I would also like to thank everyone for all of the information in the comments. So nice to see and thanks again. 😊
I love your channel! I made a perfume about a month ago and it smells amazing, but I noticed the scent doesnt't last all day. What can I use in addition to hold the scent?
Thanks Marrisa! Generally speaking natural perfumes made without alcohol at best might last between 4 - 6 hours before needed reapplication but there are a couple things you can do that should make it last a little longer. Using a higher percentage of base notes (which last the longest) will help, along with only storing in dark glass bottles and keeping away from sunlight. The light will break down the more delicate top notes making your perfume much weaker over time. I hope that helps 😊
@@helenansley8819 16ml is the same as 16 grams for carrier oil it seems because she said at the beginning that it's 80% carrier oil to 20% essential oils and 4ml of essential oils were used.
Elise is so charming! She reminds me of Joss Stone in the role of Anne of Cleves in The Tudors. I'm a neophyte but I wanted a personalized perfume without phylates, which are toxic and in all fragrances, but not in aromatherapy oils. Gonna stick with the channel to see what else is cookin'.
I love DIY! i'm skin care obsessed esp anything w natural ingredients. Currently just finished making a gorgeous body butter, you came up on my recommendations, I'm so glad u did! God bless you, thank you so much gonna try this out! Hopefully this turns out right >.
You know what... you make my mind in pease.... um tired of trying to understand this in using many videos and ur single video brush up my every doubts and make this much more easier .... Thank you so much ❤️
Hello Elise. I have a few questions. Can you implement alcohol and water into your fragrance? If so, does it make the fragrance better to dispense through the atomizer? Finally, will it affect the smell and performance of the fragrance adversely, or positively?
I already have a few essential oils, missing a few other bits for now, I buy perfumes but looking at every one just to see if it is safe enough to use becomes tiresome, although I have found out more things to avoid like butylphenyl methylpropional, bht and others. This making your own perfume thing could be fun and you make it look easy to follow, thank you for the information in this content!
Just discovered your channel-Love your perfume video and will be binge watching all you other video. Love this video , so clear and easy to follow. Thank you!
I just have to say this. I LOVE your channel and your website. You are GENIUS. I’ve been looking into experimenting with making my own things especially with everything these days being heavily dependent on unnatural chemicals. Again. You. Are. Genius. And thank you. Asé
I'm about to make an essential oil perfume, here are my tools and oils I'm trying to fill a 50ml container Top Notes: Lavender Middle Notes: Rose, Jasmine, and Cherry Blossom Base: Vanilla and Ylang-ylang Carrier Oil: Jojoba The only problem I'm facing is how to blend and the proper percentage of each oil, can someone help me? Thanks
I am so glad I found you channel. I tried to make my own perfume and opted for a result of a walk through a forest. What I have achieved smelled more like swamp 🙂 But I'll keep going. Today I have tried Frankincense, Sandalwood, Lotus and very little lemon and I like it so far, but it lacks something and I don't know what. I really do like the combo of Frankincense, Sandalwood and Lotus, though. The drop of lemon made it pop a bit. I will buy some more of the first three, so I can make a larger batch of the same and then experiment with other oils. Perhaps Pine, Wintergreen, Vetiver, Chamomile or something like that. It's really difficult. You video really did help me a lot and Iove your approach to homemade and experimenting. So I'll subscribe and have a look around what other alchemistic wonders I can find on your channel :-) Thank you.
WOW! Glad you decided to build a channel. I've spent well over a couple thousand dollars on men's fragrances in the last couple of months. I'm intrigued by licorice/anise but the only fragrance I've found based on it is Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin. I've decided to try to make my own version, so I ended up at your channel. So glad I did. Just subscribed. I'll be back to report my results...
Just came across ur video now, liked the way u teach and I have already subscribed, I really passion of making perfumes but haven't seen who to guide me thou
Hello Ellise.. thanks for the tutorial, it’s of great help. Now I’ve got my essential oils form disaar oils like almond, argan and vitamin c oils. The small is very faint so I ask if I’m advised to continue with these products as my raw oils?
Hold on once mixing your essential oils together do you have to wait a week before mixing it with your carrier oils and then waiting ANOTHER 4 weeks? Or can I mix my essential oils and straight away mix the carrier oils and just wait the 4 weeks without the extra 1 week wait?
@@iamblessed9089 yes. Let the essential oil blend sit for a week before mixing with your carrier oil. Then let it sit for a month after mixing the essential oils (that have sat) with your carrier oil. You won’t get the same maceration effects if you mix it right away.
I have been making my own perfume for a long time now sometimes i use alcohol and sometimes carrier oil. I found it impossible to use spray bottles when i use carrier oil , it clogs up the hole in the sprayer so i have to use roller bottles. If i want to make spray on perfume i mix my essential oils with alcohol.
I am so excited to make my first perfume! Thank you for making this video. Your voice is so calming too ❤ I wanted to ask you. I LOVE Neroli, do you have any suggestions on what essentials oils to use?
Thank you so much Elise, you are so lovely for sharing your amazing knowledge, I could listen to you all day!Your energy is so lovely too and I look forward to learning and watching more of your videos!
I absolutely enjoyed this tutorial, Elise. Thank you. 💕 I used to love Crabtree & Evelyn's Nantucket Briar for Summer; it smelled like a Cape Cod popourri shop, but loved it. 🥴 Would you have any recommendations for a classic summer popourri aroma? 🌹
Try making your own custom one-of-a-kind Perfume! You can't buy this on the high street 😉
So you’re saying allow the Essential Oil Blends to sit for a week and then add the carrier oil and let sit for a month, or blend everything and let sit a week to a month?
You gained a new sub!!! 🥰❤️❤️
Also what’s the name of the scale you used?
Hello! Loved that video! Can you please make a recipe tutorial of a certain hight street perfume, such as Rose n roses by Dior?
What note is peppermint? Base?

Try using jojoba or fractionated coconut oil. Both effectively dilute the essential oils without staining clothing.
You can rollerblading essential oil perfumes on the skin.

I have gathered 9 essential oils and diluted in a bottle a total of 4% EOs and 96% carrier oil, and the result was a nicely done oil smelling 100% avocado 😂 however, this video shocks me with 20% dilution!!! 😱 have you used it for years and got no skin rashes? 💭 🤨
Yeah I see info stating online that it's 20% but that seems like way too much! I'll have to experiment
This is interesting! I think that I’ll use a minimal to moderate amount of top-note oils and larger amounts of base-notes since I would like to have more long-lasting fragrances as perfumes, bath oils, soaps, and air refreshers. Also, I’ll pretty much use more sweet-smelling scents since I lean toward those scents, but I don’t mind woody and slightly spicy ones.
I really appreciate this video. I bought a ton of essential oils thinking i would become a certified aroma therapist but never did. do what to do with all my product?! Thankfully, I found your channel and have all sorts of ideas for my stockpile. Thank you!
This video was amazing, SO informative. Your voice is also very soothing and clear.
This is just what I needed I am about starting a perfume business, I want to go purchase stuffs and try out my first perfume and I popped in to this, thanks a lot for your detailed and friendly explanation.
Pls can you make one for alcohol perfumes I mean the one that’s not oil perfume
I’ve just come across this channel I love it. Quick question 🙋♂️: how do you determine how much of each oil and carrier oil to use depending on each size (ie: 10ml bottle , 30ml bottle and 50ml bottles )
@Tyre Nichols she mentioned using 20% scale. So about 20 drops for 10 ml bottle, the rest is carrier oils 😊
Thank you for sharing your video. I have also used essential oils using vodka an ounce then letting it settle for a week or two then add purified or distilled water like 3-4 ounces and again letting it settle for another 2-3 weeks for a nice body spritzer. Like the oil version as well for its moisturizing. I shared your video with my Massage Therapy students you are knowledgeable and entertaining.
Hello. Great content! :)
I see you put the essential oils together for 1 week, then you add the carrier oil and vitamin E, and leave it for another month. What is the benefit of not mixing and leaving all the ingredients together at the same time?
Also, i see you use brown/amber glass. All oil-based perfumes I've ever bought came in clear glass.
Is the brown/Amber glass just for the marinating stage, or after that too?
Thank you. How to make a best mouth freshener
You’re sense of humor caught and kept my attention just as much as the information you shared. Very well done🏆
I love her voice,so soothing ❤
You are a god send I have been planning to make my own perfume for a while now, but I didn’t know where to begin,but now you made things easier for me and I’m very grateful for tht❤✨🙏🏼
Such a great video Elise! Love the relationship analogies 😂 Can’t wait to make this and to check out all your other recipes. I’ve just switched to diy beauty and skincare and am loving it ❤️🙏🏻
Best explanation I've seen and most natural too. No alcohol!
Love this diy. Do you think a frosted roll-on bottle good to use or just amber roll-on? Could you explain to me how did you come with the math equation to the drops you use in your perfume on this video? Thank you 😊
I just started dabbling with perfume last month and I'm glad you made this video.. There is not much out there to research on for perfume making..
Ooh perfect timing! Yeah I had the same problem, this is quite a dense video to get through but I thought it'd be helpful to have all of the information in one place. Thanks hun! 😊
@@WholeElise Great video as always! Very happy that I found you!
I love how you explained everything so easy to understand and it made me excited to try! I can't wait to experiment with different aromas. Thanks for this tutorial 🙂 please do cream perfume next!
Your YT channel and website are incredible. I hope you remain active - what amazing resources! So lovely to watch, so helpful to find formulations that seem like they are put together by someone who really tested them and beautifully organized. This is just wonderful.
Will you make a tutorial using an alcohol carrier? More of an aerosol than an oil??
I was just wondering. I thought alcohol was needed...
Nice guide and thank you. What i don't really understand is why some people use 1:2:3 in the order of base:mid:top. Their concept is since top notes are lighter molecules you need more of them to stay longer. can you enlighten me, please?
This looks so fun and lovely. Looking forward to making my own. Your channel really is exceptional!
I use jojoba oil. Other oils go rancid eventually. Thanks!
what about the alcohol and dpg in a perfume, does a perfume really hold that long with just the essential oils and jojoba oil ? plus can I mix synthetic oils in this
Stumbled upon this and absolutely loved it. I would also like to thank everyone for all of the information in the comments. So nice to see and thanks again. 😊
I love your channel!
I made a perfume about a month ago and it smells amazing, but I noticed the scent doesnt't last all day. What can I use in addition to hold the scent?
Thanks Marrisa! Generally speaking natural perfumes made without alcohol at best might last between 4 - 6 hours before needed reapplication but there are a couple things you can do that should make it last a little longer. Using a higher percentage of base notes (which last the longest) will help, along with only storing in dark glass bottles and keeping away from sunlight. The light will break down the more delicate top notes making your perfume much weaker over time. I hope that helps 😊
Thank you so much.
Please translate grams on your carrier oil how many drops???????
@@helenansley8819 16ml is the same as 16 grams for carrier oil it seems because she said at the beginning that it's 80% carrier oil to 20% essential oils and 4ml of essential oils were used.
What about using it with a cream that has no scent?
Elise is so charming! She reminds me of Joss Stone in the role of Anne of Cleves in The Tudors. I'm a neophyte but I wanted a personalized perfume without phylates, which are toxic and in all fragrances, but not in aromatherapy oils. Gonna stick with the channel to see what else is cookin'.
Can you recommend where to get original essential oils. I'm so loving the video.
I'm trying to find them to 😒
Get your oils that provide GSR testing. This is what proves if they are pure. Wholesale supplies plus offers this.
Young living essential oils are great!
Thank you so much!.... Why do you use a carrier oil and not alcohol?
I love DIY! i'm skin care obsessed esp anything w natural ingredients. Currently just finished making a gorgeous body butter, you came up on my recommendations, I'm so glad u did! God bless you, thank you so much gonna try this out! Hopefully this turns out right >.
Aww thank you, I'm so glad you're going to give it a try 😊
You know what... you make my mind in pease.... um tired of trying to understand this in using many videos and ur single video brush up my every doubts and make this much more easier .... Thank you so much ❤️
Absolutely awesome video!! I am definitely going to create my own fragrance! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!
Thank you for your explanation. I have allergies and i am going to make the recipe and try also to market it.
I am SO happy to have found you. Thank you!!!
her instructions are really clear which made it easy for me to make.
Can you do a video on a perfume spritz with [natural] alcohol? Thanks.
Yes please
Hello Elise.
I have a few questions. Can you implement alcohol and water into your fragrance? If so, does it make the fragrance better to dispense through the atomizer? Finally, will it affect the smell and performance of the fragrance adversely, or positively?
I just discovered your video, I subscribed quickly. This is my dream to put up my own perfume line ❤️
I already have a few essential oils, missing a few other bits for now, I buy perfumes but looking at every one just to see if it is safe enough to use becomes tiresome, although I have found out more things to avoid like butylphenyl methylpropional, bht and others.
This making your own perfume thing could be fun and you make it look easy to follow, thank you for the information in this content!
Just discovered your channel-Love your perfume video and will be binge watching all you other video. Love this video , so clear and easy to follow. Thank you!
Your voice is so soothing 😊 I enjoy watching just for relaxing..and learning at the same time 😂
Thank you 🙌🏽my nephew Cameron recommended your channel
I just have to say this. I LOVE your channel and your website. You are GENIUS. I’ve been looking into experimenting with making my own things especially with everything these days being heavily dependent on unnatural chemicals. Again. You. Are. Genius. And thank you. Asé
can you suggest the formulation to make solid perfume? how much % carrier oils vs %essential oils vs %wax etc
I'm about to make an essential oil perfume, here are my tools and oils
I'm trying to fill a 50ml container
Top Notes: Lavender
Middle Notes: Rose, Jasmine, and Cherry Blossom
Base: Vanilla and Ylang-ylang
Carrier Oil: Jojoba
The only problem I'm facing is how to blend and the proper percentage of each oil, can someone help me? Thanks
This was incredible thank you. Can you please do a video with alcohol instead of oil. Please!!!
Yes please 😍
YES!
I am so glad I found you channel. I tried to make my own perfume and opted for a result of a walk through a forest. What I have achieved smelled more like swamp 🙂 But I'll keep going. Today I have tried Frankincense, Sandalwood, Lotus and very little lemon and I like it so far, but it lacks something and I don't know what. I really do like the combo of Frankincense, Sandalwood and Lotus, though. The drop of lemon made it pop a bit. I will buy some more of the first three, so I can make a larger batch of the same and then experiment with other oils. Perhaps Pine, Wintergreen, Vetiver, Chamomile or something like that. It's really difficult. You video really did help me a lot and Iove your approach to homemade and experimenting. So I'll subscribe and have a look around what other alchemistic wonders I can find on your channel :-) Thank you.
So happy I came across your channel always wanted to delve into this area with fragrances,thanks so much
Unbelievably FABULOUS. Just perused your website. WOW. You have mastered these creations🥰❣️
Finally I understand something about perfumes lol thank you 🌹🌹
WOW! Glad you decided to build a channel. I've spent well over a couple thousand dollars on men's fragrances in the last couple of months. I'm intrigued by licorice/anise but the only fragrance I've found based on it is Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin. I've decided to try to make my own version, so I ended up at your channel. So glad I did. Just subscribed. I'll be back to report my results...
I love your voice 😍😍😍😍. Oh. And the video lol! Thank you for the info
Thanks alot... I love your presentation. It's very helpful. I have a question to ask... how will I generate fragrance from dates fruits or seed?
Just came across ur video now, liked the way u teach and I have already subscribed, I really passion of making perfumes but haven't seen who to guide me thou
Aww thank so much! I was hoping this would give a good introduction to perfume making because there's so much to learn! Thanks for watching hun 💚
Hello Ellise.. thanks for the tutorial, it’s of great help. Now I’ve got my essential oils form disaar oils like almond, argan and vitamin c oils. The small is very faint so I ask if I’m advised to continue with these products as my raw oils?
Hold on once mixing your essential oils together do you have to wait a week before mixing it with your carrier oils and then waiting ANOTHER 4 weeks? Or can I mix my essential oils and straight away mix the carrier oils and just wait the 4 weeks without the extra 1 week wait?
I have the same question.
@@karenterrell1077 it needs to be answered because that bit was very confusing
@@iamblessed9089 yes. Let the essential oil blend sit for a week before mixing with your carrier oil. Then let it sit for a month after mixing the essential oils (that have sat) with your carrier oil. You won’t get the same maceration effects if you mix it right away.
Instead of coconut oil what chemical should we use?
OR alcohol based perfume what chemical should we use?
The analogy is classicc
I have a question
You don’t add any alcohol or something else for the spray one??
We gonna spray straight oil?
I don’t know that’s why I ask
I have been making my own perfume for a long time now sometimes i use alcohol and sometimes carrier oil. I found it impossible to use spray bottles when i use carrier oil , it clogs up the hole in the sprayer so i have to use roller bottles. If i want to make spray on perfume i mix my essential oils with alcohol.
can we be friends, i just needed this
Does putting oil in a spray bottle work good ❤?
Wow. Thank you. I'm going to try this!
Aww no problem! So happy to hear that, thanks Priscilla 😊💚
Did it work
I am so excited to make my first perfume! Thank you for making this video. Your voice is so calming too ❤
I wanted to ask you. I LOVE Neroli, do you have any suggestions on what essentials oils to use?
I’ve just come across your channel love it.
Thank you Pamella! 😊
Thanks for lesson my love. I'm asking about where can i get this oils please.
Thank you so much Elise, you are so lovely for sharing your amazing knowledge, I could listen to you all day!Your energy is so lovely too and I look forward to learning and watching more of your videos!
You explain so well ❤️
Thank you!
I absolutely enjoyed this tutorial, Elise. Thank you. 💕 I used to love Crabtree & Evelyn's Nantucket Briar for Summer; it smelled like a Cape Cod popourri shop, but loved it. 🥴 Would you have any recommendations for a classic summer popourri aroma? 🌹
Thank you so much i get a lot of essential oils and i have parfume alcohol and Olive oil, coconut oil i'm going to try it and experience with them 🥰❤️
Share those oils with me will you?🤣
