How to Make Your Own Cologne
This video shows you step by step how to make your own DIY fragrance at home.
The formulation I used for this cologne was:
5 drops vanilla essential oil
4 drops sandalwood essential oil
3 drops frankincense essential oil
2 drops myrrh essential oil
4 drops lavender essential oil
5 drops rosewater
5 drops orange essential oil
5 drops bergamot essential oil
Just under 10 ml Propylene Glycol.
Mix it all together and add to a dark glass bottle.

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.

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
@burbinghard
6 ай бұрын
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.

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.

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?
@burbinghard
Жыл бұрын
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.
Does it have good longevity?
