Tools Needed

  • Small funnel
  • Small glass perfume bottle with a roll-on top, preferably 12 millimeters, to store your DIY Lavender Oil Perfume

Prior to use, ensure that both your utensils and containers are properly cleaned and disinfected. Wash them with warm soapy water, dry with a tissue, and then sanitize by spraying with 70% medical alcohol. Wipe them clean and let them air dry before use.

Steps: DIY Lavender Oil Perfume Recipe

1- If you’ve followed our previous tutorial Make Your Own DIY Lavender Carrier Oil on preparing dried lavender sticks and carrier oil at home, you’ll need 5-6 dried lavender sticks.

To remove the dried flowers, hold a lavender stick in one hand; with your other hand, use your fingers to slide along the stick and gently pull the flowers off. Place the flowers into a perfume bottle.

If you’ve purchased pre-made dried lavender flowers, simply put them directly into the bottle.

6- Your lavender oil perfume is now ready to enjoy! Revel in the soothing and captivating aroma of your unique creation. As it continues to age, the fragrance will deepen, offering a luxurious and enchanting scent. Enjoy the beauty of your homemade perfume!

Hints and Tips

Drying Lavender: If you choose to prepare your own dried lavender flowers, ensure they are completely dried before use. Moisture can affect the shelf life of the perfume.

Longevity of Dried Flowers: The dried lavender flowers in the oil perfume will not deteriorate since they are submerged in oil. In fact, their presence can enhance the fragrance over time, making it more robust and appealing.

Testing: Before applying the perfume to your skin, perform a patch test to ensure you do not have any allergic reactions to the ingredients.

Shelf Life: Your DIY Lavender Oil Perfume is best used within 6-12 months. Store it in a cool, dark place to keep the fragrance fresh and vibrant.

Creative Exploration: Feel free to experiment with different dried flowers and oils to create your own unique perfumes. Stay tuned for more ideas and tutorials on making easy and personalized scents.

How to Use: DIY Lavender Oil Perfume

Here’s how you can use the DIY Lavender Oil Perfume:

Behind the Ears: Apply a touch of the perfume behind your ears, a natural pulse point where the skin’s warmth enhances the fragrance, allowing it to diffuse throughout the day.

On the Neck: Apply the perfume on your neck, especially near the collarbone. This pulse point helps the scent rise and become more noticeable to others, releasing the fragrance gradually.

Inside the Wrists: Apply a small amount of perfume to the inside of your wrists. The warmth from this pulse point helps to amplify the scent and allows it to disperse more effectively.

Tips of Your Hair: To scent your hair subtly, apply a small amount of perfume to your hands, rub them together, and then gently run your fingers through the ends of your hair. This technique ensures a delicate, pleasant fragrance without overwhelming your hair.
