Not only will you be able to customize the fragrance to your exact preference, but you’ll also be using natural ingredients that are beneficial to your overall health.

Each one has its own unique properties, so you may want to experiment with different ones to find the best one for your perfume.
2. Select your essential oils. Essential oils are the basis of your homemade perfume, and they are what will give your scent its unique fragrance. Choose the ones that you love, and remember that you can use multiple essential oils in your blend to achieve the perfect scent
3. Create your fragrance blend. Once you have your carrier oil and essential oils, it’s time to create your blend. Begin with a few drops of each oil and then adjust to your desired fragrance. The number of drops you add to the blend will depend on the size of the bottle, so if you’re making a larger batch, add more oil.
4. A good place to start when blending is picking an earthy, citrus, and floral to get layers and different notes.
