Making a natural perfume has some great benefits. First of you can’t get a good ladies perfume these days without spending anywhere from one hundred to five hundred dollars. Making your own natural perfume not only saves you a ton of money but now you have your own personal perfume that it distinct and original. You also have the benefit of know exactly what is in your perfume!

The basic steps to making your own natural perfume are fairly easy you just need to follow them and do a little of trial and error. Eventually you will come out with something you like. You might even produce something that you and other people like which could turn into something very profitable.

The main and basic formula to follow is as simple as this. Keep it small at first but you want to have around 15-30 percent essential oil, 70-80 percent pure grain alcohol (something like a vodka will work), and around 5 percent spring water. One of the best places to find the essential oils needed for making perfume is any local health food store. Getting your oils from a place like this will almost guarantee that they are completely natural. You will also need something to put your perfume in. Plastic is not suggested, the best container is made of glass and you can find these at any craft store.

When you first start you will realize that testing lots of different mixture will be the key to success.  Start by mixing the desired amount of oil into the vodka or other grain alcohol. Then let it sit for awhile, you can let it sit for months if you like but the longer you let it sit the stronger it will be, so keep that in mind. Starting at forty eight hours is a good idea for your first try. See if this is strong enough for you or not, and if not let it sit a week and so on. The last step is to add the desired amount of spring water to the mixture. You can also add a little more spring water than suggested if your mixture is too strong.

This is one of the simplest ways to make a great ladies perfume. You will end up testing a lot of different oils, mixtures, and methods but when you find the one you like you will be very pleased.
