A perfume blending is not a joke nor is it easy. It involves usage various natural oils and blending them into something that smells beautiful. Almost all essential oils and absolutes are usually used in making perfume.
These substances produce extremely strong odors that could make you really sick especially if you work in unventilated environments. Therefore, that is required you safeguard your blending procedures taking time to install safety procedures.
While working with such aromatic oils there's a tendency to become too accustomed with the smell. From time to time your nose has been exposed too long on the smell of oils and various blends that you become somewhat "immune" to the smell.
That’s why you really need to take some short breaks. You can just take a walk and get some fresh air or run a couple of lapses or any activity which would result to some heavy breathing. It will help to clear you nose. There is another widespread practice not only by those blending perfumes but as well as those trying various types of perfumes on a single time; it is sniffing coffee beans.
As a perfume maker, you should always try and give each blend a chance. First, you should let the blend evolve in a bottle. It will make a fresh blend properly meld and mellow which creates rather surprising scents and character. Treat each blend this way. Take some patience, let things settle down and never rush things.
It is similar to making wine: you blend the wind, seal it in barrels and wait for years to drink the brew. At least it will not take you that long. Besides, once you put a perfume on, let it settle and evolve on your skin. If you left the perfume on your skin, the blend reacts and changes because of your body heat. Before passing judgment on the blend itself, allow the base tones to emerge first.
When you’re going to start blending natural perfumes, you have to mix three oils: to top note, the heart note and the base note oils. Then you should choose what oils appeal to you and start mixing them up together. The most proper top notes include citrus oils like bergamot, lemon, mandarin and orange.
The popular top notes are conifer oils, mint oils, cardamom, basil, chamomile, juniperberry, ginger, petitgrain and rosemary. On the other hand, middle notes use various floral oils and absolutes like elemi, coriander, galbanum, sweet marjoram, geranium, lavender and nutmeg. The most popular base oils are wood oils like cedarwood, gaiac, linaloe wood and sandalwood and resin oils like frankincense and myrrh.
Get oil from each note and start putting them together in a separate bottle. Ensure to write down how many drops of each you blending. Start work with combinations. You may start with equal amounts moving on to some other mixes until you get a sniff of the scent you're looking for.
Thinking you got a great blend, cover the bottle and warm by rolling the bottle between your palms. To blend the mix, turn it upside down and then smell your concoction. Remember, the top note oils will fade more quickly than the middle and base notes so having a strong top note may not be that bad. Let the perfume evolve.
Take a strip of coffee filter and apply a drop of perfume on it. Keep it on for a while. Keep sniffing the strip in an interval of a couple of minutes to a couple of hours. So you could get an idea of how the perfume evolves.
Consider you truly need a lot of patience when you make your own perfume. But if you decide to go the easy way, then you could always buy one from the mall. Though, you’ll never experience the joy and triumph one experiences when they maker their own perfume.
