Homemade Essential Oil Perfume Recipes are for the ladies who wish to cut back on chemical-loaded products, we are exposing ourselves to way too many chemicals today. If you are in search of a healthier alternative, this guide is really something you should read.

Best Perfume Essential Oils

Before we get into any recipes, let us know which essential oils you should consider. This is the most important decision you are going to make, if you don’t love the scent how often are you going to wear it?

• Lavender
• Eucalyptus
• Peppermint
• Spearmint
• Tea Tree

The scents on the list above are my personal favorites, now everyone has different tastes when it comes to scents. I suggest if this is your first time, you consider trying these to get started. Next, Gizmo has some cool combinations that you might find even more appetizing for your own taste.

Easy Lavender Perfume Recipe

Being lavender is my favorite scent of them all, I am going to share this easy-to-do for beginners recipe.  Everyone is not as partial to this scent as Gizmo, but I hope you will seriously give this a chance by preparing it yourself at home.

What We Need

• 2 Tablespoons of Jojoba carrier oil
• Approximately 60 drops of lavender oil
• 5 tablespoons of non-flavored 100-proof vodka
• 2 Tablespoons of distilled flower water

How to Prepare

1. Add Jojoba carrier oil lavender oil to a glass bottle, and being sure it has a tight-fitting lid is important.
2. Shake for several seconds to test the consistency, you don’t want this to be too heavy or too thin.
3. Thin heavy consistency by adding small amounts of your Jojoba carrier oil until to your liking.
4. Thicken too thin consistently by adding more lavender oil, being patient is the key to forming the perfect consistency for your homemade perfume.
5. We are now ready to add the vodka, and then shake to mix your ingredients.
6. Allow this to sit with the lid closed for approximately one week
7. Time to add your distilled flower water, we must shake to mix all the ingredients extremely well.
8. You have just prepared your first homemade lavender perfume, now transfer your perfume to your preferred storage bottles to give as gifts or to use yourself.

This is a very beginner-friendly perfume recipe, and lavender is the perfect choice as your first time preparing your very own healthier alternative to store-bought perfume.

Easy Jasmine Perfume Recipe

One plant I would love to add to my indoor garden collection is Jasmine, and since I have not done this why not give you this easy beginner recipe instead. Tropical plants can be a challenge for inexperienced indoor gardeners, but never fear, making perfume is not nearly as difficult with self-help guides.

• 2 tablespoons vodka
• 1 tablespoon distilled water or orange blossom water
• Essential oils – 30 drops of jasmine
• 5 drops of lavender
• 5 drops of vanilla
• Glass Perfume bottles
• Cheesecloth

Let Us Get To Work

2. Leave the mixture to sit for two days.
3. Add distilled water or orange blossom water to the mix and shake gently.
4. Leave for about four weeks in a cool, dark spot.
5. If you see any sediment, strain through a cheesecloth and pour the perfume into a spray bottle.

Homemade Perfume Health Benefits

Since improving our health is the priority of homemade perfumes over store-bought ones, you really need to understand the benefits of making this lifestyle change. That is what you can find out by reading my list below and don’t forget you can sign up for auto-notifications if you desire to.

• Provides you with a positive mood
• Possibly can improve depressive feelings and thoughts

Homemade Perfume Groups

By being an active member of groups you can learn so much, and the key here is to be an active member. What you want to do is be selective on which ones you join, and limit yourself to only the number of them you can really devote your time to.

• Anya McCoy
• Handmade Perfume Book
• The Official Group for Perfume Making
• How to Make Perfumes, Soap, and More
• Perfume Making
• DIY Perfume

You have just read the most popular groups on Facebook for perfume making, it is free to create an account if you already don’t have one. Take your time exploring any group on this website before becoming a member, and never join more than you can actually manage effectively.

Perfume Making Groups

Another good source for finding groups is Twitter, and for your convenience, I am going to share with you some of them. By doing this, I feel you will have a better idea if this is for you. Gizmo never wants to waste your time sending you places that you are not interested in, so here are some examples below.

Essential Oil Beginner Videos

Let us watch some videos to educate ourselves on essential oils even more, and these are especially for beginners.
