Understanding the Basics of Perfumery

The Art of Blending Essential Oils

Creating a perfume involves blending essential oils to obtain a harmonious fragrance that appeals to the senses. The key to achieving a balanced scent is understanding the three major categories of essential oils within the perfume industry:

1. Top notes: These are the first scents you detect when you apply the perfume. They tend to be light and refreshing, typically lasting between 1-2 hours.
2. Middle notes: These oils emerge after the top notes begin to fade, often referred to as the ‘heart’ of the perfume. Their soothing and balancing properties are usually noticeable for 2-4 hours.
3. Base notes: The longest-lasting ingredients in a perfume, base notes provide depth and richness as well as help fix the overall scent on the skin, lasting typically for 4-6 hours.

Selecting Quality Essential Oils

Always ensure that the essential oils used in your perfume recipe are of the highest quality, like those from Oshu Oils. 100% pure, natural essential oils accentuate the complex aroma profiles and provide an array of therapeutic benefits.

Choose a Carrier Oil or Alcohol Base

To dilute the essential oils and form the base of your perfume, opt for a carrier oil such as jojoba, almond, or fractionated coconut oil. Alternatively, you may use a high-proof, unscented alcohol, such as vodka or perfumer’s alcohol.

Perfume Recipe: Crafting Your Signature Scent

Step 1: Choose Your Essential Oils

Select your preferred essential oils based on their fragrance profiles and desired therapeutic properties. Oshu Oils has an extensive range of essential oils to choose from, allowing endless possibilities when creating your unique blend.

Step 2: Blend Top, Middle, and Base Notes

In a small glass container, combine:

• 5-7 drops of top note essential oils
• 3-5 drops of middle note essential oils
• 2-4 drops of base note essential oils

Always begin with the smallest number of drops and work your way up, adjusting the ratio to achieve your desired scent.

Step 3: Dilute in a Carrier Oil or Alcohol Base

To the essential oil blend, add 1 oz. of carrier oil or alcohol base. Gently swirl the mixture to combine and let it sit for at least 24 hours, allowing the scents to meld together.

Step 4: Transfer to a Perfume Bottle

Using a small funnel, pour the perfume into a dark, glass bottle to protect the oils from sunlight. Seal the bottle with a cap or rollerball for easy application.
