Natural Essential Oil Perfumes

To be honest, whenever I’ve tried to blend my own combinations of essential oils to create roll on perfumes it’s mostly failed. The whole base, middle, top note thing always throws me for a loop. So normally, I’ll buy natural fragrances online either through Etsy or a small artisan perfumery. I tend to fall for earthier aromas when making a purchase, however I also love bright, fruity smells. The one scent blend I can’t tolerate, unfortunately, is anything with florals. So many florals give me a throbbing headache. (So, I’m really not sorry that I never have to make tuberose soap again.) The same can be said for fake vanilla.

One of my favorites is Audition by Theater Potion. It contains a sensuous blend of chocolate and patchouli that I love. (And this from the girl who used to think patchouli smelled terrible.) It’s a wonderful mysterious aroma with notes not just of chocolate and patchouli, but also coffee (another win!) tobacco, clary sage and cedar. Artfully crafted with a number of natural fixatives (patchouli, cedar and clary sage) this natural aroma lasts all day, much to my delight.

Understanding How to Blend Essential Oils

If you want to formulate your own custom recipes to use in roll on bottles, then you first need to learn the art of blending oils. As with fragrance oils, you can’t just throw any oils together that you like. They need to work well with another so you get a pleasing aroma.

Essential oils come in a variety of scent notes straight from nature. They can be woodsy or herbal, citrus or grassy, floral or spicy. Learning which plant based oils blend nicely together does take some research, however. There’s no magical way to know what oils blend well together without taking the time to learn. An easy way to discover which oils blend well is to conduct an internet search. You can also purchase books on essential oils that teach you the basics of blending aromas to learn how to make perfume.

Perfumery Essential Oil Notes

When using plant based aromas for natural perfumery to formulate your own roll on essential oil perfumes, you need to choose your oils based on their rate of evaporation, or what is called their volatility. The volatility of oils are separated out into three categories. These categories are known as top notes, middle notes and base notes.

Top Note Essential Oils

Top note oils evaporate the fastest as they contain the smallest molecules. While, middle notes typically last several hours. The base notes, on the other hand, contain the largest molecules and therefore evaporate the slowest. The natural aroma of base notes can last a full day or more.

When formulating custom essential oil perfume recipes, you’ll want your recipes to consist of all three notes for the longest lasting scents and a complex aroma. This can vary depending on your formulation of aromas used — some oils are much stronger than others — as well as personal preference. However, there is a loose guideline for blending top, middle and base notes.

These notes in your aroma roll on recipes should consist of 10%-30% of the essential blend. While the middle notes, which are the heart of your aroma should make up anywhere from 30% to 50% of your formulation. Finally, the base notes should consist of 15%-30% of your recipes. Many base notes are also fixatives, such as patchouli oil.

Top note oils are typically more light and airy. They introduce you to the scent. Usually thin and mobile, these notes often display diffusive, sharp, penetrating, uplifting, refreshing or light properties.

Common examples of top notes in DIY perfumes include the following:

  • Basil
  • Bergamot
  • Eucalyptus
  • Fir & Pine
  • Galbanum resin
  • Juniper
  • Laurel Leaf
  • Citrus oils such as Grapefruit, Lemon, Lime, Mandarin, Tangerine & Orange
  • Neroli
  • Palmarosa
  • Mint oils such as Peppermint & Spearmint
  • Petitgrain essential oil
  • Sage oil
  • Verbena
  • Yuzu

Middle Note Essential Oils

As previously stated, the middle notes are the heart — and most important part! — of your roll on essential oil perfume recipes. These oils should be the focal of your recipe, with the other aromas oils being chosen around these notes. As your middle notes are often full bodied and complex, you want your top and base notes to harmonize, balance and complement with the notes you choose.

Popular middle notes used in DIY essential oil perfumeinclude:

  • Black Pepper
  • Cardamom
  • Carnation
  • Cassia
  • Chamomile
  • Cinnamon
  • Clary Sage
  • Clove bud oil
  • Coffee absolute
  • Cypress Leaf
  • Fir oil
  • Balsam
  • Geranium
  • Ginger
  • Helichrysum
  • Jasmine absolute
  • Lavender oil
  • Lemongrass
  • Lotus
  • Melissa
  • Orange Blossom
  • Rose oil
  • Rosemary
  • Tuberose
  • Ylang Ylang

It’s important to keep in mind that black pepper, cinnamon and clove oils are skin irritants. Therefore, they should be used in very small amounts as part of your formulations.

Base Note Essential Oils

The foundation of your essential oil roll on recipes are the base notes. These notes tend to have dense, heavy and strong aromas that support the overall formulation. Deep and tenacious, these oils may also include your fixatives.

The following essential oils, absolutes and other botanical aromas are popular base notes as part of formulations for perfume recipes:

What Are Essential Oil Perfume Fixatives?

While blending oils is not my strong suit, using a fixative in perfumery is much easier to understand. So what exactly is a fixative?

Basically, perfume fixatives are materials incorporated into an aroma formulation to slow down the degradation of more volatile oils. This results in fewer changes as you wear it. Used in trace amounts, natural essential oil fixatives not only help retain the scent by slowing down evaporation rates, they also add their own unique note.

You’re likely familiar with perfumes that boast a strong aroma straight out of the bottle. However, you’ve found that you’re soon disappointed when that scent fades away faster than expected. A natural fixative can slow down the evaporation rate of more volatile oils and fragrances. So they linger longer for your enjoyment.

Which Essential Oils Are Fixatives?

If you’re wanting to avoid synthetic fragrances, a fixative is essential in making your favorite scents last longer. But which aromas are used as fixatives in natural perfumery? Following is a list of common plant extract and essential oil fixatives. (Don’t worry if it seems overwhelming! I actually have a simple trick for using a fixative with ANY essential oil roll on perfume — old or new!)

  • Ambrette Seed oil: Used for its lifting effect, this oil is best known for is sweet floral fragrance and musky wine like aroma Often used as a musk substitute, this natural fixative mixes well with rose, neroli, sandalwood, clary sage, cypress, patchouli, oriental and other sophisticated formulations. It is best used sparingly.
  • Amyris essential oil: A common fixative, this oil is often used as an affordable alternative to sandalwood oil. It boasts a rich, warm woody aroma that blends well with a number of other oils. Amyris essential oil works best as a natural fixative in milder formulations and works well with cedarwood, citronella, conifer oils (like balsam fir or pine), cypress, frankincense, geranium, jasmine absolute, lavender, lemon, oakmoss, patchouli, sweet orange, tangerine, ho wood, rose absolute, vetiver, ylang ylang and sandalwood. (Learn more about amyris and discover recipes to try here.)
  • Angelica Root essential oil: Used sparingly, this aroma is best used as a base note fixative. Its aromas is sharp, green and herbaceous with peppery overtones and has robust staying power and diffusive qualities. You’ll find it goes well with patchouli, oakmoss, clary sage, vetiver and citrus blends.
  • Peru Balsam essential oil: A more commonly known oil, peru balsam is a wonderful fixative for floral based formulations such as rose, heliotrope, magnolia, and lilac. It has a rich, balsamic, sweet vanilla-like undertone and adds a resinous note to a blend in perfumery. You’ll find that the soft aroma of peru balsam oil mixes well with black pepper, ginger, jasmine, lavender, patchouli, petitgrain, rose, sandalwood and ylang ylang.
  • Atlas Cedarwood essential oil: Another common (and affordable!) option, atlas cedarwood has a long history of use as incense and perfume. The wood was burned by the Greeks and Romans for its sweet tenacious, woody-balsamic aroma with a warm camphor-like top note. This oil mixes well with bergamot, chamomile, clary sage, cypress, eucalyptus, jasmine, juniper, lavender, neroli, palmarosa, petitgrain, rosemary, sandalwood, vetiver, ylang ylang and other floral bases.
  • Cistus essential oil: Also known as Labdanum, cistus oil is used in natural perfumery for its rich aroma. A naturally strong fixative, its warm, sweet, dry and rich herbaceous oil well with bergamot, chamomile, clary sage, cypress, frankincense, lavender, juniper, oakmoss, opopanax, patchouli, pine, sandalwood and vetiver.
  • Clary Sage essential oil: Clary sage has an extensive history in perfumery and works well as a fixative for recipe formulations of a more delicate bouquet. Its somewhat heavy scent is reminiscent of balsamic,tobacco, sweet hay and tea leaves. Used as a fixative, clary sage adds a warm note to aroma oils. Additionally, you’ll find that clary sage works well with bay, bergamot, black pepper, cardamom, cedarwood, chamomile, coriander, cypress, frankincense, geranium, grapefruit, jasmine, juniper, lavender, lemon balm, lime, mandarin, patchouli, petitgrain, pine, rose and sandalwood oils.

  • Green Cognac essential oil: A specialty oil for perfumers, cognac oil is produced from the wine precipitate known as ‘lees’ – the yeasty residue left at the bottom of oak barrels after the fermentation and aging of Cognac. It’s commonly used to add lift and fresh, fruity natural notes to men’s colognes and aftershave. However, it’s also a tenacious fixative. Used as a middle note in natural formulations, cognac has a strong fruity yet green herbaceous odor and works well with ambrette seed, bergamot, clary sage, coriander, neroli, galbanum, jasmine sambac, lavender, lotus pink absolute, rose maroc absolute, rose otto and ylang-ylang.
  • Frankincense essential oil: Frankincense, like cedarwood oil, has a long history of use in incense and other perfumery applications. This oil boasts a fresh, woody, spicy, balsamic aroma with a citrus top note. When used with citrus blends, frankincense modifies the sweetness of the oil in a unique way. Commonly used in conjunction with heavier fragrances, this natural aroma oil and fixative mixes well with basil, black pepper, bergamot, galbanum, geranium, grapefruit, lavender, orange, melissa, neroli, patchouli, vetiver, sandalwood and other spice oils.
  • Galbanum essential oil: Galbanum oil also has a long history of use as incense. While the resin may be burned, the oil is often used as a natural fixative. A wonderful modifier with a fresh, woody, spicy and balsamic damp woods aroma, this plant based aroma blends beautifully with lavender, oakmoss, fir, elemi, jasmine, liquidambar, frankincense, palmarosa, geranium, ginger, rose, verbena and ylang-ylang.
  • Myrrh essential oil: A common fixative in the industry, myrrh oil has a dry, creamy and resinous aroma. Think smoky woody or warm sweet balsamic with a slightly spicy medicinal odor. You’ll find that myrrh is an excellent fixative for heavy floral aromas. It’s especially nice when blende with violet, white rose, and lavender. However this oil also works well with frankincense, sandalwood, oakmoss, cypress, juniper, mandarin, geranium, patchouli, thyme, mints and spice oils.
  • Oakmoss absolute: Extracted from the lichen that grows on oak trees, oak moss has a heavy earthy, bark like aroma. Its tenacious fragrance has a high fixative value and mixes well with most other oils to add body and rich natural undertones. However, this oil is particularly nice when mixed with anise, bay, bergamot, clary sage, eucalyptus, ginger, lavender, lime, orange, palmarosa, tea tree, vetiver or ylang ylang.
  • Orris Root essential oil: Orris root has an extensive history of use in perfumery dating back to the 1700s. Prior to that, however, the root was used by ancient Egyptians as a body spice, incense and perfume. Its delicate aroma boasts a sweet floral woody scent that mixes well with carnation, cassie, cedarwood, bergamot, vetiver, cypress, geranium, mimosa, labdanum, clary sage, rose, violet and other floral based oils.

  • Sandalwood essential oil: Sandalwood also has a long history of usage in natural perfumery. However, as traditional Indian Sandalwood has been considered a vulnerable species since 1998 due to disease, fire and exploitation through illegal activity. Australian Sandalwood represents an ecologically responsible alternative to traditional Indian Sandalwood. Sandalwood is a base note with a soft, woody balsamic and extremely tenacious aroma. It goes well with violet notes in addition to bergamot, black pepper, cassie, clove, geranium, jasmine, labdanum, lavender, myrrh, oakmoss, patchouli, rose, rosewood, tuberose, and vetiver.

Additionally, this absolute mixes beautifully with sandalwood, vetiver, balsams and spice oils as well as cassie, lavandin and lavender for a unique addition to your essential oil roll on perfume recipes. (Tip: Benzoin resin oil is a cost effective replacement for vanilla in recipes.)
  • Vetiver essential oil: Vetiver has had a multitude of uses over the years. In addition to natural perfumery, vetiver has also been used to scent fabric. While vetiver root is often woven into baskets, mats and window coverings. Its aroma is best described as woody, earthy and heavy with sweet undertones.

How to Use Fixatives with Natural Essential Oil Perfumes

If you’re still gun shy about incorporating fixatives into your natural essential oil perfumes, don’t worry. You don’t have to come with your own scent recipes. Nor do you need to invest in expensive materials you may use only once or twice. There’s actually an easier, more affordable way to add a fixative to your existing stash of fragrances! How? By purchasing a pre-made natural fixative.

Wild Veil Perfume sells an entire line of ready made fixatives. They come in little tins like lip balms or salves, with a similar consistency. Formulated ahead of time so there’s no guesswork, you simply apply a perfume fixative to pulse points before adding your favorite essential oil roll on.

What is basically a primer, Wild Veil Perfume’s creamy fixative compounds contain their own composed exclusively of base notes, in an organic emulsion of raw beeswax, cold pressed natural oils, and unrefined, raw butters. Available in an extensive variety of base notes, these fixatives not only slow down the evaporation rate of the oils, but they also double as a moisturizer. Simply apply and wear them alone or in layers with your favorite roll on perfume essential oils.

How to Formulate Essential Oil Blends for Perfumery

An easy way to get started formulating your own essential oils to make custom aromas is to pick an oil you enjoy to be the heart of your essential oil roll on perfume recipe. A popular choice, for example, is lavender essential oil. Then look up what oils blend well with lavender. You’ll get a long list of all the aromas that blend well with the one you’ve chosen when you search. This gives you a good idea of where to get started in choosing the fragrances to blend with the lavender to compliment the scent.

For example, Mountain Rose Herbs, a popular source forcertified organic essential oils, tells me thatlavender works well with bergamot, black pepper, cedarwood, chamomile, clary sage, clove, cypress, eucalyptus, geranium, grapefruit, juniper, lemon, lemongrass, mandarin, marjoram, oakmoss, palmarosa, patchouli, peppermint, pine, rose, rosemary, tea tree, thyme and vetiver oils. It also tells me that its aroma is sweet, floral and herbaceous — information that can help me decide how to formulate the aroma I want to create.

Unfortunately, blending essential oils is a lot more complicated than that. (And one of the reasons why, as a beginner, you may want to start by using existing aroma recipes your recipes.) In short, you need to choose top and base notes that are harmonious with lavender oil, which is your middle note.

How to Make Custom Perfume Essential Oil Roll On Blends

1. Choose Essential Oils Based On Fragrance Notes

To make your own essential oil roll on perfumes, you should choose at least three essential oils, each with a different fragrance note. Of course, this is only a guide. However, it’s an easy way to get started formulating your own custom aromas. You can choose more than three aromas with varying notes, though it’s best to start simple. As plant based oils tend to be expensive, you don’t want to invest in making a complex blend and have it not work out.

I highly recommend using a base note and/or a fixative to make your botanical aromas. This allows your fragrance to last longer, whether you are using it in a diffuser or to create natural roll ons. Otherwise, you may be disappointed to find that the scent of your aroma fades quickly.

2. Pick Essential Oils That Compliment One Another

In addition to choosing essential oils based on their notes and staying power, you should also choose oils that compliment one another. I recommend choosing an essential oil with a fragrance you like. You can then search for that essential oil on google, or an essential website, such as Mountain Rose Herbs. The results should tell you which oils blend well with the essential oil you’ve chosen. You can then use this information to choose scents with corresponding notes needed to complete your recipe blend.

3. Use Small Glass Bottles to Experiment with Scents

As previously mentioned, essential oils aren’t cheap. Therefore, I use small, amber glass bottles to make my aromas in small quantities. By using small glass bottles and adding just one or two drops at a time, you can experiment with ratios to create the perfect perfume, without wasting any unnecessary product if you make a mistake.

You can use a clean15 mL bottle, but I like to use5 mL bottles. They are smaller, and make more sense for experimenting. Be sure to label your bottles so you know what’s inside each one, once you’ve created your blend. I also recommend using anessential oil journal or notebook to keep track of your recipes.

4. Consider Essential Oil Blending Factors

To blend essential oils for your rollerball bottles, you should also consider their blending factors. A blending factor is a scale from 1 to 10 that states how strong a scent is. You use blending factors and some math to determine how many drops of each oil to use. I do use blending factors often, but you do not necessarily need to use them to create your own fragrant formulations.

Peppermint, for example, has a blending factor of 1. This means that you should use it in the least amount in your formulation. However, if you really like peppermint, you can use more than what is suggested. Blending factors are handy when creating aromatic formulations, but ultimately you should create a blend that you like and want to wear.

You canlearn more about blending factors here. Alternately, you can also take aperfumery coursefor more in depth information.

5. Create Essential Oil Roll On Perfume Blends

With your empty bottle and a notebook, start by adding 1 drop of each aroma oil that you choose into the bottle. Then add more drops of each oil until you get the scent that you like. Write down how many drops of each oil you add to create your roll on essential oil.

Once you’re satisfied with the scent, place a drop of the blend on aperfumer’s testing strip or piece of paper. Then give your nose a break and smell some coffee grounds to reset your sniffer so to speak. Smell the blend on the paper right away, after an hour, and after two hours. Make notes of the scents you smell each time in your journal. You may need to adjust how much of each oil you use to create your recipe. But this is why you start small.

If you do need to make adjustments, repeat the process again. You may have to make several adjustments several times to find the right recipe for your roller bottle essential oils.

What Carrier Oils Are Used to Make Essential Oil Roll On Perfume?

When you make essential oil roll on perfumes, you need to include an additional ingredient to dilute the oils. This is because essential oil should not be applied neat, or directly to skin. Doing so may can skin sensitivity or irritation. Therefore, the perfume oils are mixed with a carrier oilfor this purpose.

You don’t want to use a carrier oil with a noticeable aroma when making botanical aromas. Doing so can muddy the scent you’re trying to achieve and result in an unpleasant smell. Therefore, when choosing a carrier oil to dilute the essential oils in your DIY perfumes, be sure to opt for one that has little to no scent. In addition, I also recommend that you choose a carrier oil with a long shelf life to prevent the oil from going rancid before you have a chance to use it.

Here are the most common carrier oils used to make natural perfume recipes in rollerball bottles:

Other Ways to Dilute Essential Oil Rollerball Bottle Perfumes

Carrier oils aren’t the only way to dilute the essential oils in your homemade perfumes. You can also use an ingredient called cyclomethicone. Cyclomethicone is a synthetic liquid silicone. It’s similar in a lot of ways to dimethicone, which you may familiar with from the cosmetics you use. It’s often a primary ingredient found in face primer. Both of these ingredients are a clear, odorless liquid. They are insoluble in water, However, they are alcohol soluble and are dispersible in both oils and fats. In addition, they have a non-greasy feel, so they don’t feel oily when applied.

These properties make cyclomethicone ideal for making homemade aromas to be used in roller ball bottles. As this ingredient is odorless, it won’t disrupt the scent you’ve formulated. It also has a long shelf life. Therefore, there’s no need to worry about the product going rancid and smelling bad.

Cyclomethicone can be used to make roll ons using either essential oils or fragrance oils. You can also use a blend of both. To use cyclomethicone to dilute the fragrance you’ve chosen for your DIY perfume, you may use it to replace either all or half of the carrier oil in your recipe.

How Many Drops of Essential Oil Should I Use in a 10mL Roller Bottle?

Whether you’re making essential oil roller bottles as aromatherapy roll ons, there are some important guidelines to follow for essential oil safety.

If you are making a 10mL essential oil roller bottle for kids, you should not use more than 2 drops of oil diluted in a carrier oil. This equates to a 1% dilution rate. In addition, you also need to ensure you are using only kid-safe oils.

For adults you have two options. For regular or everyday use, you should restrict the amount of oil used to 4 drops, or a 2% dilution rate.

However, if you plan to make roll on recipes in a 10mL roller bottle, for occasional use, you can increase the amount of essential oil to 10 drops, or 5% dilution. This is perfect for those who enjoy a strong fragrance, but don’t wear perfume everyday.

How to Make Essential Oil Roll On Perfumes

Here is how to make your custom roll on fragrances:

1. Start by simply adding the essential oils you created directly to a 15 mL glass bottleusing a dropper or pipette. Alternately, you can add 10 drops of your favorite blend to a 10 mL roller ball bottle.

2. Once you’ve added the natural fragrance blend to the roller ball bottle, fill the rest of the bottle with a carrier oil of your choice. You can use a fresh dropper or pipette for this step to avoid spilling the product.

TIP: I recommend using either fractionated coconut oil or organic jojoba oil when making rollerball bottle perfume recipes.

TIP: Be sure to leave room at the top for the roller ball.

3. Then cap the bottle by popping the rollerball onto the top of the container and screwing on the lid.

4. Shake the mixture to combine, then apply to pulse points to use.

TIP: This essential oil mixing kit makes it easy to get started making your own natural scents blends and custom fragrances using essential oils.
