Make Your Own Perfume Blends

Creative Ways To Blend Your Own Perfume

Beginner friendly techniques for blending perfumes.

In "The Fast Guide To Making Perfume," I give you a few techniques for designing your own scents. You don't have to be a master perfumer to use them. All you need is a little imagination.

Blending With Bases

The most powerful technique is actually one that modern perfume houses use. Instead of making scents completely from scratch, many people work with blending bases. Examples of bases are amber (a warm, sweet base), floral (mixed floral bouquet), and green (ferns and leaves.) To those bases, you can add your own twists. I give you more details and examples in the book.

If that somehow seems like cheating, I don't believe that it is. I think the important thing is your idea and your result, not how you get there. In perfumery, what counts is if the result smells good, not how you made it.

And when you think about it, every trade has its short cuts... it's just that no one else knows about them!
