However, there may be mistakes, both typographical and in content. Therefore, this manual should be used basically as a general guide. Furthermore, this manual contains information on making Perfume that is current only up to the publishing date. The purpose of this manual is to educate and entertain.

Chapter 2 Introduction 2.1. Creating your own one of a kind scent is a lot easier than you think. You will find it exciting to know that no one else has your scent, not even those big name perfume makers. Your scent will be unique because you created it. With the right combination of essential oils, and perfumer’s supplements, you are on the right track to have a one of a kind signature scent. 2.2. Perfume: Is a mixture of essential oils, alcohol, water and perfumer’s supplements. 2.3. Essential oils: Are oils that come from plants; they give plants their distinctive odor. Various essential oils are routinely mixed together to create a set of three robust essential oil concoctions. The concoctions are referred to as Top, Middle and Base notes. When the three NOTES are combined, they create a full bodied perfume blend. Cologne and Eau de Toilette are simply weaker blends of perfume. They contain lower levels of essential oils or aroma chemicals than Perfume. 2.4. Perfumer’s supplements: Are Aroma chemicals; Aroma chemicals such as Aldehyde (C8C14), are added to the Notes to give the perfume sharper and crisp Notes. 2.5. fyi: Big name perfume makers consider perfumer’s supplements to be a must have. If you want your scent to smell couture, kick it up a notch with perfumer’s supplements. The number of perfumer’s supplements to add to your blend is entirely up to your discretion. Some “perfumer’s supplements” manufactures will give free samples to their customers. It is always a good idea to take advantage of the free samples; the samples allow you more products to experiment with. Furthermore, it is also a good idea to go to your nearest mall shop and look at perfumes made by big name perfume makers. Look at the ingredients to get an idea of the perfumer’s supplements they include in their perfume blend. Essential oils are not listed among the ingredients because listing essential oils is not an fda requirement. 2.6. Notes: In perfumery describe an aroma that one smells in the presence of perfume. 2.6.1. Top Note: Is what one smells first; The Top Note consists of oils that are light or volatile. The Top Note gives off the most notable scent and wears off quickly. The Top Note includes light weight oils such as ylang-ylang, neroli and bergamot. 2.6.2. Middle Note: Makes up the personality of the perfume and is less volatile than the Top Note. Middle Note consists of oils such as jasmine, rose, lily-of-the-valley and iris. Finally, one smells the Base note. 2.6.3. Base Note: Lingers the longest after the Top and Middle Notes have dissipated. Base Note
consists of heavy weight oils such as sandalwood, cider wood, vanilla, cinnamon, vetiver, musk, civet, benzoin and oak moss. 2.7. When you prepare your Notes. You will be using a blend of Essential Oils and or Aroma chemicals to prepare each Note. The type of oils commonly recommended to prepare the Top, Middle and Base Notes are listed in 2.8A, 2.8B and 2.8C. 2.8. Note: When selecting your essential oils or aroma chemicals to blend for each Note, you can choose as few oils or as many as you like from each list, it is entirely up to your discretion.
Partial list of Essential oils or Aroma chemicals recommended for blending Top, Middle and Base notes
2.8A. Top Note Ylang-ylang, neroli, Lemon, Orange, Grapefruit, Lime, aldehydes,coriander, peach, pink pepper, pineapple, white pepper, yellow freesia;
2.8B. Middle Note Jasmine, rose, lily of the valley, iris, Coriander, Palmarosa, Marjoram, Clove, clove, geranium, lemongrass, carnation, orris, ylang-ylang, mandarin orange, peach, peony, magnolia, orange
2.8C. Base Note Musk, vanilla, civet, oak moss, Patchouli, Vetiver, Vetiver, Frankincense, Cedar wood, Sandalwood, Cider, cinnamon. tonka bean, amber, benzoin, white musk, musk.
Note: Some essential oils/aroma chemicals may be used in either Note type.
2.9. There is also an important group of oils called Binders, when included in a blend, they act as a bond they keep the notes together. Litsea, cubeba, lemongrass, lavender, ylang ylang and vanilla are such oils. Make sure to include one of these oils if not selected. 2.10. Note: Before you add Aroma chemicals, essential oils and or Aldehydes to your blend, it is always a good idea to ask the seller to tell you the recommended use rate. Some perfume chemicals are used in trace (drops) amounts because in high concentration these chemicals can be hazardous, they can cause allergic reactions in some people. A vast majority of perfume chemicals sellers have healthy information on their products. 2.11. fyi: Big name perfume makers also use pure, unadulterated, top quality essential oils and absolutes in their perfumes. The top quality essential oils and absolutes are costly. If you are new at
making perfume and have limited resources, I recommend you start with buying small samples of high quality essential oils or absolutes. The small samples come in small volumes, 1 dram = 3.75 ml. The volume of these samples is more than enough to produce a small batch of perfume, cologne or eau de toilette. Cut down on the volume of perfumer’s alcohol and measure the essential oils or absolutes in drops instead of ml. Use essential oils and Aroma chemicals sparingly
2.12. Warning: Do not inhale Aroma chemicals, Essential oils or fragrant oils directly from the original bottle. These oils are potent, volatile and extremely concentrated. Rather than inhaling directly from the original bottle, uncap the bottle, take a piece of paper and wave over the top of the bottle to create a breeze. Smell the breeze instead.
2.13. Warning: There is a safer way to smell your essential oils or aroma chemicals before you add them to your blend. Dilute your oils or aroma chemicals or fragrant oils by mixing a couple of drops of essential oil, aroma chemicals or fragrant oils with 10 ml perfumer’s alcohol. Now you can safely smell the dilutions right out of the bottle. See samples of my oils/alcohol mixtures below. I will repeat, please do not inhale Aroma Chemicals, Essential oils or Fragrant oils directly from the original bottles. These oils are potent, volatile and extremely concentrated. Rather than inhaling directly from the original bottle, uncap the bottle, take a piece of paper and wave over the top of the bottle to create a breeze. Smell the breeze instead. See samples of my oils/alcohol mixtures below in 1.16.
2.14.
Store the mixtures in a safe place to for later use.
2.15. Be cautious about using “fragrant oils” to make perfume, cologne or Eau de toilette. If you must use fragrant oils, make sure to use ones approved for skin contact or approved for perfume making. (Ask the seller). 2.16. Shipping regulations Perfumes/fragrances are considered flammable liquids since they are volatile and contain alcohol. Shipping of these items is regulated by the usps. When you go to the post office to mail your perfumes or fragrances, inform the post office that you are mailing or shipping perfumes/fragrances. Or you can contact usps for additional information.

You can find the above ingredients at “creating perfume”
Note: If you are intending to sell your home made Perfume, do not use drinking alcohol such as vodka, it is illegal to do so. Do not use ordinary plastic drinking cups to measure or handle your perfume alcohol. Plastic drinking cups depending on the material they are made of are not compatible with perfumer’s alcohol. (They can break up or dissolve). Use disposable gloves, disposable measuring cups and disposable pipettes. Then, you can throw these items out when you are done with them. Cleaning used items is tedious and time consuming.
Chapter 4 Quick Overview
Here's a quick overview of how to make Perfume, Cologne and Eau de Toilette.
4.1. First, we prepare the Top, Middle and Base notes.
4.2. We let the Notes age for a week.
4.3. Last, we prepare the Perfume, Cologne and Eau De Toilette from the matured Notes.
Chapter 5 How to prepare Top, Middle and Base Notes Procedure 5.1. First, figure out the type of scent you want your perfume to smell like. Do you want a floral scent, spicy scent, fruity scent or a combination something abstract and unique?
5.2. Select the essential oil or aroma chemicals for your Top, Middle and Base Notes. Note: if you want your perfume to smell floral, do not add too much spicy, herb or citrus oils. If you do they will foul your blend. Too much Patchouli for example can cause your blend to smell like medicine especially if you are making a small batch. Add these oils by the drop. You will also need to include an oil to act as a binder for your blend. 5.3-Write down the list of oils or aroma chemicals you selected. See 5.5.1, 5.5.2, 5.5.3 for lists of Aroma Chemicals and their amounts I selected for my Top, Middle and Base Notes (Signature -1 formula). This formula will give an abstract and unique scent.
5.4. Very important! A fixative is what most perfumers use to help the perfume scent last longer. And, some fixatives work better than others. You will need to include a fixative or your scent will dissipate within minutes. For this perfume I used (Glucam Tm P-20 hemuctant) perfume fixative. I’m currently searching for other brands of fixatives.

5.5-My Sinature-1 formula for Top, Middle and Base Notes.
5.5.1-Top Note
10.0 ml AA True Rose 6.0 ml AA Hawthorn Rose
4.0 ml AC Bright Floral Total = 20.0 ml
5.5.2-Middle Note 10.0 ml AA Fruit 2.0 ml AA Jasmine 2.0 ml ac Fruity violate Total = 14.0 ml
5.5.3-Base Note 8.0 ml AA Sandalwood 3.0 ml AA Warm amber 2.0 ml AC Alpha Ionone Total = 13.0 ml
********** 5.5.4. Perfumer’s Alcohol = 350.0 ml Fixative (Glucam™ P-20 humectants) = 4.5 ml
********** Note: AA = Aroma Accord, AC = Aroma Chemical, EO = Essential Oil You can find these ingredients at “creating perfume”.
**********
Procedure 5.6. Lay out three 1oz amber glass bottles. (Note: Amber glass keeps sunlight from degrading your notes). 5.7. Attach (Top, Middle and Base) Labels on the amber glass bottles. See images below in 5.8.
5.8. 5.9. Warning: Wear a face mask, gloves and be in a well ventilated area which is free of children before you work with the essential oils, fragrant oils and Aroma Chemical. Face mask prevents you from inhaling concentrated oils/chemicals.
5.10. Warning: The gray face masks intended for paint fumes work better than ordinary dust mask. If you use a face mask intended for dust you’ll still smell the concentrated oils/chemicals.
5.11. Measure the ingredients listed in 5.5.1, 5.5.2, 5.5.3 (My Signature-1 formula) and add them to the labeled amber glass bottles in step 5.8. 5.12. For example, you will measure 10.0 ml AA True Rose add it to the Top Note bottle. Then, you will measure 6.0 ml AA Hawthorn Rose add it to the Top Note bottle. Last, you will measure 4.0 ml AC Bright Floral and add it to the Top Note bottle and so on. 5.13. When you are finished with the additions, cap the bottles tightly and shake the blends about 50 times to mix them thoroughly. 5.14. Store your blends in a safe place out of reach of children. Go back to your blends at least twice daily to shake them. Note: Generally it should take about a week for the Notes to age and ready for the final blending. 5.15. After one week, the Notes are matured and ready to be used for making Perfume, Cologne or Eau de toilette.
Chapter 6 Percentage use rates 6.1. Percentages of Essential oils and or Aroma chemicals and Perfumer’s alcohol recommended for making Perfume, Cologne or Eau de toilette.
6.1.1. Formulation Type. Perfume, Essential oil or Aroma chemicals 25% to 35%, Perfumer’s Alcohol 75% to 65%
6.1.2. Formulation Type. Cologne, Essential oil or Aroma chemicals, 15% to 20%, Perfumer’s Alcohol 85% to 80%
6.1.3. Formulation Type. Eau de Toilette, Essential oil or Aroma chemicals, 5% to 10%, Perfumer’s Alcohol 95% to 90%
Note: I intentionally left water out of the formulation. Adding water or too much water can make your perfume cloudy and unusable depending on the type of perfumer’s alcohol you use. When buying perfumer’s alcohol, ask the seller if their alcohol can mix with water? If yes, ask the seller how much water to add
From here on, making, Perfume, Cologne and Eau de Toilette is a breeze.
********
Very Important! Some people may find the Perfume scent to be very strong. This is why I’m starting you off with Eau de Toilette the weakest of the three. If you need your product to smell stronger, then by all means make Cologne or Perfume.
Chapter 7 How to make Eau de Toilette First, you’ll make Eau De Toilette using the matured Top, Middle and Base Notes you prepared in 5.15.
Procedure 7.1. Get a clean 12 oz amber glass bottle. 7.2. Add 150 ml Perfumer’s alcohol and 1.5 ml Fixative to the glass bottle in Step 7.1. 7.3. Cap the bottle, shake fifty times to mix. 7.4.

Pour your Eau de toilette in a fancy bottle.
Calculations (2.1 ml Middle Note + 1.6 ml Base Note + 4.0 ml Top Note = 7.7 ml Aroma Chemical
(7.7 ml (Aroma Chemicals)/150 alcohol) x 100 = 5% Aroma Chemicals
Based on 6.1.3, this formulation type is Eau de Toilette = 5.0% Aroma chemicals
Chapter 8 How to make Cologne Next, you’ll make Cologne using the matured Top, Middle and Base Notes you prepared in 5.15
Procedure
8.1. Get a clean 12 oz amber glass bottle. 8.2. Add 60 ml perfumer’s alcohol + 1.5 ml fixative to the glass bottle in Step 8.1. 8.3. Cap the bottle, shake fifty times to mix. 8.4.

Calculations
(3.0 ml Middle Note + 2.0 ml Base Note + 4.0 ml Top Note = 9.0ml Aroma Chemical
(9.0 ml (Aroma Chemicals)/60.0 alcohol) x 100 = 15% aroma chemicals
Based on 6.1.2, this formulation type is Cologne = 15.0% Aroma chemicals
Chapter 9 How to make Perfume Last, you’ll make Perfume using the matured Top, Middle and Base Notes you prepared in 5.1.5.
Procedure 9.1. Get a clean 12 oz amber bottle. 9.2. Add 100 ml perfumer’s alcohol + 1.5 ml Fixative to the glass bottle in step 9.1. 9.3. Cap the bottle, shake fifty times to mix. 9.4. Then add 6.0 ml Middle Note to the bottle in step 9.3 9.5. Cap the bottle and shake to mix. 9.6. Wait 48hrs. 9.7. Then add 5.0 ml Base Note to the bottle in step 9.5. 9.8. Cap the bottle and shake to mix. 9.9. Wait 48 hrs. 9.10. Then add 9.0 ml Top Note to the bottle in step 9.8. 9.11. Cap the bottle and shake to mix. 9.12. Wait two weeks. 9.13. Pour your Perfume in a fancy bottle.
Calculations (6.0 ml Middle Note + 5.0 ml Base Note + 9.0 ml Top Note = 20.0 ml Aroma Chemical

Chapter 12 Selling, and Labeling Perfume You have created your perfume line. If you decide to sell your home made perfume, there are few fda guidelines and regulations you may need to consider.
The following is a list of articles concerning fda guidelines and regulations that I found on the internet.
fda Guidelines and Regulations Regarding Selling Fragrances
“The cosmetics marketed in the United States, whether they are manufactured here or are imported from abroad, must comply with the labeling requirements of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (fd&c) Act, the Fair Packaging and Labeling (fp&l) Act, and the regulations published by the Food and Drug Administration under the Authority of these two laws. The fd&c Act was enacted by Congress to protect consumers from unsafe or deceptively labeled or packaged products by prohibiting the movement in interstate commerce of adulterated or misbranded food, drug devices and cosmetics----”You can read this article from “fda.gov/Cosmetics/CosmeticLabelingLabelClaims/CosmeticLabelingManual/ucm126444.htm#clg
Perfume labeling guidelines
“The fp & L Act states in section 5(c)(3)(B) [15 u.s.c. 1454(c)(3)(B)] that "nothing ... shall be deemed to require that any trade secret be divulged." Accordingly, the cosmetic ingredient labeling regulation does not require the declaration of the identity of an ingredient fda has accepted as exempt from public disclosure. In lieu of the declaration of the name of a confidential ingredient, the phrase " and other ingredients" may be used at the end of the ingredient declaration---“ You can read this article from “fda.gov/Cosmetics/CosmeticLabelingLabelClaims/CosmeticLabelingManual/ucm126444.htm#clg **************

******** About the Author My background as a chemist gives me a unique and pragmatic perspective on the art of perfume creation. I fell in love with perfumery years ago as a hobby but was discouraged by the lack of clearcut practical instructions on how one should go about creating a scent.
