General Mixing Info:

What are the different strengths of perfume?
Fragrances are classified by the percent of pure oils.
- Eau de Cologne is the least concentrated form of a fragrance and
generally contains 2 - 5% perfume oils dissolved in water and alcohol.
- Eau de Toilette commonly contains 5 - 10% pure oils.
- Eau de Parfum usually has 10 - 20% pure oils.
- Parfum (the most concentrated, rarest and most expensive) has 20 -
40% pure oils.

Why does my perfume only last a short time?

You need to mix the fragrance oils the way a musical chord is
composed, with high, middle and low notes that compliment each
other.

The depth or weight of a specific fragrance oil's aroma is based on the

oil's volatility - i.e., how fast it disappears, relative to other oils. A
quick way to experience this for yourself is to take some blotting paper
(coffee filters, papertowels, absorbent paper, etc.) and drop two or
three drops of the fragrance oil on each blotter. Try a range of oils, one
or two citrus oils, a wood oil like cedarwood, rosewood, or, best of all,
Patchouli or Vetiver; and something in the middle, perhaps lavender or
geranium. Wait a few hours and then smell them. The citrus oils will
have almost disappeared, while the deeper base notes should be
unchanged. Smell it again after 24 hours, 48 hours, etc. This will give
you a foundational understanding of the weight of each oil.

How do I create a mix?

Always blend the fragrance oils without diluting to create the mix that
pleases you. Dilution comes later.
The simplest explanation of the terms top & middle and base notes is
how tenaciously each aroma lingers. Blending a small amount of a
middle note will make a top note last longer. Rounding the blend off
with just a single drop or so of a base note anchors it still more.
Generally speaking, the lower notes will dominate a blend, if used in
equal amounts. Thus, for a rough start, try blending three drops of your
chosen top note, two drops of a middle note, and a single drop of a
base note.

Don't forget to write down your mix formulas! Virtually every perfumer
has created at least one scent they could not exactly duplicate
because they forgot to write the formula down.

How long should I let a mix sit?

At least a few days! The oils will change after mixing.
While you are almost certainly not going to be able to wait, you should
let a new undiluted mix sit a at least a few days in order to get an idea
of what the scent will really be.

After diluting, you need to let it sit for 4-6 weeks. Otherwise, all you
will smell is alcohol if you're using that as the carrier agent.
