Simple Perfume Recipes Using Essential Oils
For more information about essential oils and their healing properties, please visit http://HealWithEssentialOil.com. Get your copy of The Art of Making Perfume.
Before we get started, make sure you have everything you need. Here’s your checklist.
• Distilled water
• Essential oils
• Plastic sheeting
• Glycerin
• Large measuring cup with spout for pouring
• Dark glass bottle with lid
• Vodka or Perfumer’s Alcohol
You’re probably still wondering about the Vodka, right? Using Vodka in your perfume will actually serve a couple of purposes. Vodka enhances the aroma of perfumes. It also preserves the scent without making it overpowering. You only need a small amount so don’t rush out and buy a fifth!
The plastic sheeting is used to protect your table or countertop as the essential oils and alcohol can damage them if spilled. This is also the reason you’re using a measuring cup with a spout. It’s much easier to pour without worrying about spilling it. It’s better to be safe than sorry.
When making homemade perfumes as previously discussed, there are four main ingredients which you will need, and these are:
1. Essential Oils
2. Water
3. Alcohol
4. Fixatives
Many of these items can be either obtained from a store that specializes in such ingredients, or over the internet.
You will also need a large saucepan, large bowl (for mixing all the ingredients together), spoon and some measuring cups or jugs to make perfume at home.
Provided below, are a few easy recipes that you should be able to produce at home without too much effort.
1. Basic Recipe
This first recipe uses flowers right in your backyard. All you need for this recipe is some water and chopped flower blossoms (use Lilac or Lavender essential oil if blossoms are unavailable).
If you like a floral scent, you’ll love this simple perfume recipe. To start out, you’ll need one to two cups of fresh flowers, petals or chopped blossoms (Roses, Lilacs, Carnations, etc.) and two cups of water. Get a medium size bowl and put cheesecloth on top, making sure it hangs over the side of the bowl.
Place one cup of your flower blossoms in the cheesecloth and cover them completely with water. The mixture needs to sit covered overnight. The next day lift the cheesecloth up and squeeze the cheesecloth over the saucepan so you’ll get the scented liquid. Simmer this liquid until only about a teaspoon remains. Let it cool and pour it into a small dark bottle. Spray in the air as a freshener or use on the skin.
2. Basic Recipe #2
Place 25 drops of your favorite essential oils into your measuring cup. You may choose one or more fragrances to give you a compelling and deep fragrance but be sure to use fragrances that will go well with each other.
Add five drops of glycerin to the essential oils. Glycerin is used as a fixative because it will help your perfume keep its aroma much longer. Mix the glycerin and add 3 tablespoons of Vodka and 2 cups of distilled water. Stir the mixture with a spoon so that it’s blended well. Now is when you want to check out the aroma to determine if it’s strong enough for you. If not, add a drop or two until you have the exact strength you want. The longer you let your perfume sit, the stronger it will be as well, like fine wine! Your ratio should be 70 percent alcohol, 20 percent essential oils and 10 percent water.
Once you have the strength the way you like it and it’s mixed well, pour your perfume into the dark glass bottles, making sure the lids are tight. Store it a cool dry location, letting it sit one full day before using.
3. Amazement
For this blend, you will need one cup of distilled water, five teaspoons of Vodka, and five drops each of the following essential oils: St. John’s Wort, Cypress and Rosemary. They should then be mixed together and stored overnight.
After a period of 12 hours or more, the solution produced can be put into a dark spray bottle to be used. Using a dark colored bottle will help the solution to remain fresh, which will be felt by the person using it when they apply it to their skin.
4. Whispering Rain
This recipe breathes a light scent reminiscent of a lingering shower. Again, you will need one cup of distilled water, five teaspoons of Vodka, five drops of each: Sandalwood, Bergamot and Cassia essential oils (which can also be purchased as fragrance oils).
These ingredients should be stirred together and then stored overnight in a covered container. Then, the next day, it can be transferred to a dark colored bottle. This perfume must be kept in a cool place so that it does not dry up.
The three perfumes above normally last for about a month before they lose their scent. The next recipe should produce something a bit better.
5. English Country Garden
For this recipe, you will need five drops each of the following essential oils: Valerian, Chamomile, and Lavender. Add five teaspoons of Vodka and one cup of distilled water. All these ingredients should be put into a jar and then shaken. It should then be put in a cool place and left for a week. After this time, you can then transfer the mixture into small perfume bottles.
It is important to remember that these types of perfume recipes only have a shelf life of a month; therefore you will need to make new batches every few weeks.
6. Oriental
To bring a touch of the orient into your home, try mixing up this next recipe. Add four drops of Sandalwood, four drops of Musk, three drops of Frankincense essential oil and two drops of Jojoba oil into a small dark bottle with a tight fitting lid. Make sure you shake well after adding each essential oil is added to the bottle. Do not add everything to the bottle at one time and then shake it up. Store your blend in a dark place for at least 12 hours before using. The longer you let it sit, the stronger and longer lasting the scent will become.
This last recipe will make a delightful body splash with a citrus aroma.
7. Citrus Twist
You’ll need two cups of distilled water, three tablespoons 100-proof Vodka, five drops of Lemon Verbena essential oil, ten drops of both Mandarin and Orange essential oils and one tablespoon each of finely chopped orange and lemon peel.
Add the orange and lemon peels to the Vodka and store in a covered jar for one week. When the week is over, pour the liquid through a strainer. Drop the essential oils in one at a time to the liquid, followed by the distilled water. Make sure you shake thoroughly after each addition before adding the next one. Cover again and let sit for two weeks, making sure to shake the mixture at least once each day. Once it’s done, store the dark glass bottle in a cool dark place.
When Buying Essential Oils
For pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils, visit http://HealWithEssentialOil.com.
If you choose to use pure essential oils to make your perfumes, here are some helpful tips and suggestions on what to look for when buying essential oils.
You will want to look for 100% undiluted pure essential oils. If they’re truly undiluted, you won’t have to put your nose right up them to get a good whiff. You should be able to hold it about 5 inches away and still get a good smell. Another way to determine if they’re undiluted is by putting a drop on a piece of paper. If it leaves an oily stain on the paper, it’s probably been diluted with a vegetable oil.
Try not to smell too many in one day. Unbelievably, you nose will become overwhelmed and they’ll all tend to smell the same.
Essential oils come in a variety of different prices, with some more expensive than others. If you find a store that offers them at the same price, this may be a sign they are synthetic.
One of the main reasons why you may not want to use synthetic oils is that they will not have the same therapeutic properties as true essential oils. Check the label to ensure it doesn’t say perfume oil or fragrant oil.
The nice thing about using “therapeutic” perfumes that you make yourself is that the essential oils can actually help heal anything troubling you, or even give you energy, while also giving you a pleasant scent. Regular perfumes made with synthetics cannot boast of this power.
Avoid purchasing essential oils that have been stored in plastic bottles. Essential oils will dissolve the plastic causing it to become contaminated. Clear glass bottles are also not good for essential oils as they often make the oil spoil quicker. Look for essential oils that have been stored in dark bottles, particularly blue or dark amber.
If essential oils are very cheap in price, take a second look as they may not be pure essential oils. While they don’t have to be 100% pure essential oils for perfume making, you’ll get a much better and longer lasting scent with pure essential oils.

Lemon Essential Oil
Lemon Essential Oil

Citrus Limonum tree, a small thorny evergreen tree grown in India, as well as Israel, Europe, Florida and California delights us with the zesty fruit of Lemon. From the peel or rind of the fruit, we obtain its invigorating light yellow essential oil that has a thin consistency, with a rich aroma.
During the middle ages, Lemon essential oil gained popularity for its therapeutic properties among the Greeks and Romans. It especially increased notoriety when the British began using the fruit to keep their sailors from contracting scurvy.
The health benefits of Lemon essential oil can be attributed to its stimulating, carminative, and detoxifying effects. Its wide range includes Lemon essential oil’s capability as an antiseptic to treating stress disorders. In Japan, a study has shown that Lemon essential oil vapor has anti-stress effects by modulating both the Serotonin and Dopamine neurotransmitter systems. The study’s conclusion stated that Lemon essential oil has both anti-anxiety and anti-depressant effects. Other research in Japan showed a significant improvement in mental accuracy for office workers inhaling the aroma. Another recently published study showed that Lemon essential oil actually limits the toxicity of scopolamine, which causes dementia and memory loss. Lemon oil actually prevented these effects from occurring.
Because of its good taste and low cost, Lemon is very popular in cooking and serves as a good source of vitamins, which strengthens the immune system and stimulates the white blood cells to better fight diseases and improve circulation in the body.
Lemon oil blends well with many other essential oils including Lavender, Tea Tree, Cinnamon, Peppermint, Eucalyptus and Rosemary essential oils.
Guideline For Determining Essential Oil Quality
For more information about biblical essential oils, please visit our website http://HealWithOil.com.
How can I determine the quality of the essential oil I am purchasing? A quick search on Google for essential oils suppliers will show that costs for essential oils varies and they vary a lot! How can you decide which oil to purchase? Here are a few factors to help you determine the level of quality of the oil you intend to purchase.
Essential oils are derived from plants. They go through a process which could impact the quality of the oil being used. The plants can be grown on a farm or “wild crafting” conditions and factors such as soil condition and rainfall affect can impact the oil quality. Essential oil descriptions should also contain the country of origin since the quality of the oil can vary from country to country. The use of pesticides or other chemicals can also impact the essential oil obtained. It is important to note that pesticides may also adulterate the essential oil if it is not eliminated in the manufacturing process. Adulteration becomes important if you plan on using the essential oil for therapeutic purposes. Even if you plan on using the oils as an air freshener, the aroma contains particles that enter your blood stream via inhalation.
Essential oils in the market place can be found in various dilutions or even marketed as perfume oils or aromatherapy oils. There are wide variations and taking the time to read the labels, product descriptions and research your product will help to safely assess the quality of the oil. Perfume oils are not the same as essential oils and they do not share the therapeutic benefits that essential oils have. Aromatherapy oils may have already been blended with other oils or chemicals. Preservatives may have been added to protect and enhance the mixture.
There is nothing wrong with purchasing diluted, pre-mixed blends or perfume oils but just beware of what you are purchasing at what price. As you price shop at various stores online, you will find that many stores claim to sell essential oils, but in actuality, they are only selling a diluted version of the oil or the perfume oil. These oils are excellent for making soaps, creams, bath salts and other beauty body products.
While there are no set standards for the shelf life of essential oils, most can be used within 1 – 2 years after opening. The oils should be stored in a dark bottle (amber glass or blue cobalt works nicely) and tightly sealed. Bottles with rubber stoppers should not be used to store the essential oil since the potency of the oil degrades the rubber and turns it into a gummy substance. The rubber can then fall into the oil thus contaminating the purity of the oil. Also, excessive exposure of the oil to sun’s ultra violet rays, heat, or air will degrade the oil. The oils should also be stored in a cool, dark place once you have them. A wooden craft box works nicely.
Be the informed buyer. Take the time to learn about what you are purchasing and then check if that fulfills your intended use. You will find that the quality of the essential oils can vary greatly and understanding what information is being provided to you will impact your purchasing decision.
(ORAC) The Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity of Essential Oils Compared to Fresh Vegetables
The ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity) assay is a laboratory procedure developed in 1992 at the National Institute of Aging in Silver Springs, Maryland. It is used to measure the antioxidant capacities of many foods, juices, and oils. The higher the ORAC score, the more capable that particular food or oil is of destroying free radicals (Free radicals can cause disease and aging by changing the structure of the body’s cell walls, DNA, and protein, disrupting their important functions), thus retarding the aging process and preventing cancers and other diseases.
Foods with a high ORAC score may be able to protect cells and their components from oxidative damage. Oxygen radicals are chemicals that form naturally inside the body through the process of oxidation. Everyday functions such as digestion and physical activity produce oxygen radicals. Daily exposure to polluted air, rancid food and oxidizing radiation from the sun and electrical appliances also contribute.
An easy to understand example of oxidation is to imagine rust attacking metal. When the rust eats away at the metal, the metal starts to weaken and decay until it can no longer work. This is what happens to our body when free radicals attack it. Organs, cells and other parts of the body can be weakened by oxidation. This leads to diseases such as cancer, skin and heart diseases, senile dementia and osteoarthritis.
Studies have shown that eating foods with a high ORAC score will raise the antioxidant levels in the blood by around 10 to 25%. The ORAC figure suggested by experts is around 5,000 units per day to have a significant effect on plasma and tissue antioxidant levels. Eating eight to ten servings of brightly colored fruits and vegetables or dark greens will help achieve this level.
Here are some examples of ORAC scores:
Fruits and Vegtables Essential Oils
Carrots 210 Sandalwood (Aloes) 160
Oranges 750 Frankincense 630
Beets 840 Rose of Sharon (cistus) 3,860
Raspberries 1,220 Cinnamon 10,340
Strawberries 1,540 Spikenard 54,800
Blueberries 2,400 Myrrh 379,800
Wolfberries 25,300 Clove 1,078,700
Most essential oils score higher than most fruits and vegetables, as the two tables above suggest. In fact, essential oils have the highest ORAC scores of all substances in the world. An ounce of Clove Oil has the antioxidant capacity of 320 pounds of carrots, 28 quarts of blueberries, or 10 gallons of beet juice. The exceptionally high ORAC scores of essential oils partially explains why living with them in your daily environment – to breathe, eat, and apply to your body – can support all of your systems and contribute effectively towards long healthful living, even when used in very small quantities, and even when only inhaling them.

Myrrh Essential Oil – Symbolic of the First and the Last in the Bible – Alef and Tov – Alpha and Omega – The Beginning and the End
Myrrh is the first oil mentioned in the Bible in Genesis 37:25, when Joseph’s jealous brothers sold him into slavery to a caravan of Midianites (incense traders) that we on their way to Egypt. The Scriptures tell us that the caravan was carrying “balm and myrrh.” Years later during the famine, Joseph’s brothers came to Egypt to buy food where they encountered Joseph as the Egyptian ruler. Interestingly, Jacob, their father (Israel), told his sons to bring gifts for the Prince and the Scriptures tells us in Genesis 43:11, they brought him “balm and myrrh”- the same two oils that accompanied Joseph into slavery.
Not only is myrrh the first oil mentioned in the Bible, it is also the last one mentioned in Revelation 18:13, which describes the destruction of Babylon when all of these wonderful fragrances and ointments will be no more. Myrrh is rich with symbolism and is mentioned 156 times in the Bible.
Myrrh was also one of the first gum resins/oil given as a gift to Yeshua as a child by the Magi. Matthew 2:11 tells us, “And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.” Certainly by no coincidence, myrrh was also the last oil offered to Yeshua at Golgotha when He was delivered to be crucified. In Mark 15:23 we read how they offered Him, “wine mingled with myrrh,” but He refused it. Yeshua refused the myrrh as a pain-reliever, because He agreed to come down in the form of man and drink from the cup of suffering and that He did. As the Alpha and the Omega – the Alef and the Tov – the beginning and the end – He identified with us in His pain and sorrow, so that we could have the courage to seek and know Him intimately through the fellowship of suffering.
