As a natural beauty expert, I have always been passionate about creating my own non-toxic products. And when it comes to perfume, I believe that nothing beats the complexity and purity of natural fragrances. However, with the lack of regulations and definitions in the beauty industry, it can be challenging to determine if a product is truly natural or not. That's why I always recommend making your own perfume at home using plant-based ingredients. One of the key ingredients in making 100% natural perfume is essential oils.
These oils are extracted from plants and contain their unique scents and therapeutic properties. To create a well-rounded fragrance, I like to mix different essential oils together and let them sit for a few days to let the aromas blend together. You can also add a pinch of dried organic rose petals, lavender, or jasmine flowers for an extra touch of natural beauty. When it comes to the base of your perfume, instead of using oil-based options, I recommend using a sugarcane ethanol base like the Perfect Potion Natural Perfume Base. This base is not only natural but also sustainable and eco-friendly.
It allows you to create your own spray perfume by simply adding your desired essential oils. If you prefer ready-made natural perfumes, there are plenty of options available in the market. One of my go-to places is Biome, where they offer a wide range of natural perfume rolls, balms, and sprays. Their Viva La Body natural scented balm is a popular choice among customers. However, buying natural perfumes can be expensive due to the complexity and inconsistency of natural fragrances. This is because they are inspired by plants but are synthesized to create a more concentrated and long-lasting scent.
But don't worry, making your own perfume at home is not only cost-effective but also allows you to customize the scent according to your preferences. So, how do you make your own 100% natural perfume? It's simple! All you need are a few ingredients and some creativity. Botanical aromatic oils, also known as natural aromatic oils, use natural materials as a base and then isolate or combine specific molecules to create a unique scent. These oils are the key to creating a natural perfume that is both pure and long-lasting. To get you started, here are some all-natural perfume recipes that I love:
1.Floral Delight Perfume

These all-natural perfume recipes may seem perfect, but it's essential to try them out and adjust the ratios according to your liking. After all, the scent you wear should not only be natural but also right for you.
