DIY All-Natural Perfume

Perfumes are typically big culprits when it comes to undisclosed or hidden harmful ingredients; plus, many of the fragrances in popular perfumes are actually synthetic. Why wear synthetic fragrance when you can DIY a therapeutic essential oil blend that is actually good for you?

You’ll Need:

- Glass perfume bottle between 100-200 ml in size (check Amazon!)

- 30-50 drop of your preferred essential oils

- Vodka (enough to fill up your perfume jar)

How To:

- First, add your essential oils to your glass perfume jar

- Add in the vodka

- Seal perfume bottle by firmly replacing the lid/mister and let the perfume sit for a minimum of one month before using. This allows the essential oil to thoroughly infuse.

When making a DIY perfume, you’ll want to keep the base notes, middle notes and top notes in mind. When you smell the aroma of a perfume, the top note is what first reaches your senses, followed by the middle and then bottom notes.

Our favorite base, middle and top note essential oils are as follows:

- Base Note: Sandalwood or Ylang Ylang

- Middle Note: Lavender or Bergamot

- Top Note: Sweet Orange, Lemon or Lemongrass

Each time you use your gloss the peppermint will naturally plump your lips and you’ll get an uplifting aromatherapy experience.
