Step 1: Scent Exploration
Use the scent test strips to familiarize yourself with each fragrance oil. Dip a strip into an oil using a separate pipette for each scent, then wave it gently in the air and take a moment to experience the aroma.
Step 2: Designing Your Scent
Decide on the character of your perfume. Do you prefer floral, fresh, or woody notes? Begin with the base notes, which will last the longest on your skin. Add a few drops onto a test strip. Layer with middle notes, then top notes, experimenting until you find a blend that delights you.
Step 3: Mixing Your Creation
Using a fresh pipette, transfer your base notes into a black mixing bottle, then proceed with middle and top notes. Follow the recommended dilution ratios: For a stronger scent: 30% fragrance oil to 70% carrier oil/alcohol. For a lighter scent: 15-20% fragrance oil to 80-85% carrier oil/alcohol.
Step 4: Letting Your Perfume Mature
Once mixed, secure the bottle cap and let your fragrance sit in a cool, dark place for at least 48 hours. This allows the scents to meld together harmoniously.
Step 5: Finishing Touches
After maturation, if you're satisfied with the scent, use the funnel to transfer your perfume into one of the final bottles. Apply a PerfumeLab label and personalize it with your chosen name for your scent using the stickers provided.
Step 6: Enjoy
Dab a small amount on your pulse points, such as wrists and neck, and enjoy the perfume throughout the day.
