Pro Tips
- Equal amounts oil and perfume. I usually do equal amounts of each oil that is being added to the perfume and I do not exceed 15 drops for a 2 oz bottle. You’ll want to experiment to see what smells the best on your skin as each person is different.
- Try different combinations. There are so many different essential oils to try. Keep experimenting until you find your favorite. You can experiment with top notes, base notes and more to really customize the perfect natural scent. It’s so much fun to make your own signature scent.
- Test before using. Make sure to test a small patch so you don’t have an allergic reaction or skin irritation to the formula.
