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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    @@Nah-._ I believe people use grapeseed oil as a carrier for essential oils. Grapeseed oil has a distinct smell, so I wouldn’t use it as a carrier for perfume. I typically choose my oils for the aroma and adding that much grapeseed would throw it off. A masseuse could use something like grapeseed as a base, and could use essential oils to add fragrance for a massage. I hope that makes sense.

    It has to be the right type of alcohol. Perfumers alcohol, Propylene Glycol and Dipropylene glycol are all alcohols, but each give a different advantage. I wouldn’t use vodka if that’s what you’re asking.

    Not quite. Perfumers alcohol is typically a dipropylene glycol which is better at mixing alcohol based ingredients. Propylene Glycol is better at mixing oil based ingredients.

    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.

    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.
