step-by-step instructions
- Step 1. Decide your target strength: 5–25% fragrance load. Eau de parfum is typically 15–25%; body mist is 5–10%.
- Step 2. For a 25% eau de parfum gallon: combine 96 oz base + 32 oz fragrance oil.
- Step 3. Stir gently — never shake perfume blends vigorously.
- Step 4. Rest 24–48 hours before bottling. This improves clarity and allows top notes to integrate.
- Step 5. Test on blotter strips and skin before scaling. Check IFRA limits for your fragrance oil.
- Step 6. Bottle into labeled containers with ingredient list and batch date.
example batch
For Makers: Add fragrance oil at 5–25% depending on your desired strength and IFRA guidelines. Stir gently until fully blended and allow to rest 24–48 hours before bottling to improve clarity and scent development. Example: 96 oz base + 32 oz fragrance oil = 1 gallon finished perfume spray (25% fragrance load). Always test each fragrance oil for solubility and IFRA compliance before large-scale production. For End Users: Spray directly onto skin or clothing from 6–12 inches away. Apply to pulse points for best results.
pro tips for makers
- Start with our fine fragrance collection — Baccarat Rouge, Aventus, and Santal 33 types are customer favorites.
- Layer complementary scents: a woody base + bright top note creates depth without complex formulation.
- Perfume has the highest perceived value — price accordingly ($25–60+ for 30ml) is common for indie brands.
- Always test solubility — some heavy base notes may need a lower load for crystal clarity.
