The Process to Your Fragrance Masterpiece
Choose Carrier oil
Carrier oils are base oils used to dilute essential oils, making them safe for skin application. They help "carry" the essential oils onto the skin without causing irritation. Carrier oils are derived from the fatty parts of plants, such as seeds, nuts, or kernels, and typically have little to no scent of their own, allowing the essential oils' fragrances to shine through. Examples of carrier oils include:
Jojoba Oil - Similar to the skin's natural oils, suitable for all skin types.
Sweet Almond Oil - Rich in vitamins, gentle, and good for most skin types.
Fractionated Coconut Oil - Light, unscented, and non-greasy, easily absorbed by the skin.
choose essential oils
Perfumes are structured in layers of different scent profiles called notes. These notes determine how a fragrance unfolds over time.
Top Notes (Head Notes) - these are the first scents you notice when applying the perfume. They are usually light, fresh, and evaporate quickly. Usually lasts 30 minutes to an 1 hour. Common scents are citrus (lemon, bergamot), herbal (mint, basil), light floral (lavender, neroli).
Middle Notes (Heart Notes) - these scents emerge once the top notes start to fade. They are often well-rounded and form the core of the perfume. Usually lasts for several hours. Common scents are floral (rose, jasmine, geranium), green (pine, juniper), spicy (cinnamon, clove).
Base Notes - These are the foundation of the perfume, providing depth and lasting power. They emerge once the top and middle notes have evaporated. Usually lasts all day. Common scents are woody (sandalwood, cedarwood), musky (musk, amber), sweet (vanilla, patchouli).
It's best to choose only one or two essential oils that correspond with each note to create the perfect scent.
We have over 60 varieties of essential oils to choose from.
Vitamin E is a natural anti-oxidant and is added to the perfume oil for its fixative benefits.
formulation
Once the carrier oil and essential oils are mixed, the formulation needs at least 3 days to rest. This helps the scents meld and develop a more harmonious fragrance that will only get better with time.
Keep the perfume oil away from direct light as much as possible to prevent oxidation, which can change the coloring and scent structure.
