A bit of theory
Prepare perfume at home - this is notSuch an impossible task as it seems at first glance. The creation of "magic" scents is not done by fairies from the fairy-tale country, but by ordinary people who know a lot about their business. After all, the secret of an amazing perfume is the ability to correctly combine "notes" and know the measure in a quantitative ratio. Of course, this art has been studying for many years to become a real professional. But you do not claim such a high rank? Therefore, you can go experimentally, having mastered the basic principles described in this article. To create a personal fragrance, first of all you need to know what constitutes the components of ideal spirits, the so-called notes. There are three, and the main difference is that each has its own life span on your skin. The top note, or "head" of perfume, is a combination of the lightest essential oils of citrus, mint, rosewood, mimosa, basil, lavender, lavander and so on. It is these fragrances that you feel right away, as soon as you inhale the smell from an open vial. They stay on the skin for five to thirty minutes, and then evaporate. The average note, or "heart" of the perfume, is represented by less volatile essential oils of flowers, pine, fennel, thyme, tobacco, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg. You may have noticed that after a while the odor applied to the skin changes and becomes somewhat different. This is the manifestation of medium notes that we feel from a few hours to a day. The main note, or "base" of the fragrance, is most of the tar (myrrh, incense), wood oils (sandalwood), oak moss, patchouli, vetiver. This smell remains with you for the longest time until it disappears completely, as its constituents evaporate gradually. Such theoretical knowledge will help you prepare your first unique spirits. 
Practice
Buy essential oils now is not largecomplexity, - they are both in pharmacies, and in specialized stores that specialize in selling natural cosmetics. Do not buy just a lot of bottles - choose those that, in your opinion, are the most pleasant. Now we turn to the main process of how to make perfume in the home. It is important to know that the sequence in which essential oils are added to alcohol looks like this: the first components are the medium note, then the main one and, lastly, the initial one. Therefore, you must adhere to such an algorithm when preparing perfume. Now you need a sheet of white medium-density paper, which you need to cut into thin test strips up to ten centimeters long. On them it is necessary to put on one drop of the chosen essential oils of an average note and to sign, that not to get confused, where what. Having determined the most interesting fragrances individually, go to their combinations. To do this, sniff the strips not in turn, but bring two to the nose immediately. This will allow you to feel the composition of smells. The optimum combination you found will make up the "heart" of the future fragrance. Now do the same to prepare his "head" and "base." After you have found all the notes, it's time for the experiments in the tank. Take as a basis the most common ratio of the parts of the components 1: 2: 3, where 1 - is the oil "head", 2 - "heart" and 3 - "base". This will make it easier for you to create a test smell. In the chosen bottle add one drop of oils of the top note, two drops of the middle and three drops of the bottom note. Lightly shake and inhale the fragrance. If you like, then you can proceed to fix it in an ad-hoc basis. It is different for liquid and solid perfumes.
Liquid and firm perfume
If your goal is to create liquid spirits,then the fixer in this case is either diluted with water ethyl alcohol or vodka, or fatty oil without a smell (olive, jojoba and so on). To easily prepare perfume, you should adhere to a proportion of 3: 7, where 3 - are essential oils, and 7 - the base. So, make a probe: according to the proportion, you need to take six drops of the prepared mixture of essential oils and 14 drops of the chosen fixer. Do not forget about the algorithm of adding "notes" to the basis. The resulting amount of spirits will be very small, but it will allow you to evaluate the result of the experiment, if you like the fragrance throughout the day. So you can understand if you will use this perfume in the future and, as a consequence, whether you need to do it more. By preparing a trial version, or "heart," where essential oils are taken at a minimum to create an idea of the fragrance of new spirits, you can memorize the proportions in which each "note" was added, and in accordance with them, calculate the desired number of drops for the whole perfume bottle. But it is better to use the already finished proportion described above, and to better understand its meaning, an example of how to prepare 10 ml of perfume is given below. You will need:
- 72 drops of a mixture of essential oils (12 drops of "head", 24 - "heart" and 36 - "base");
- 168 drops or 10 ml of diluted alcohol (vodka) or fatty oil.
Do not forget about the order of mixing. After adding each new portion of ingredients to the fixer based on alcohol or vodka, perfume should be infused for 20-30 minutes. When the mixing of all components is made, the bottle is put in a dark place for 3-4 weeks, but every 3 days it must be shaken gently. But with such oil-based perfumes you can use immediately after their preparation. If you want to try yourself in creating a solid perfume, then in this case the fixer will be a mixture of wax and fatty oil. These components should be taken in the ratio 1: 2, respectively. For example, one tablespoon with a wax slide and two - oils. Aromatic mixture of all the ethereal "notes" must be done beforehand - you will need about fifteen drops. Wax melt in a water bath, but in no case boil, let it cool slightly and mix it with butter. Then add the composition from the "notes" and quickly pour into the mold to solidify. Solid perfume you can always carry with you, if you find a small opening medallion and fill it with a wax-based perfume. In general, as a form perfectly fit powder boxes, boxes of shadows and pocket mirrors.
