Why You’ll Love This DIY

DIY rich oil perfume with musk offers a fantastic way to create a concentrated and long-lasting signature scent at home. This luxurious musk perfume lets you customize your fragrance with five distinct fragrance oils that reflect your personality. With just a handful of ingredients, you can craft a captivating perfume that truly stands out.

Making your own oil perfume saves money and allows you to select fragrance oils that fit your taste and complement the musk in the recipe. Indulge in this fragrant adventure and create a personalized scent that showcases your unique style.

Gather the Ingredients

Choose high-quality ingredients to boost the effectiveness and safety of your DIY beauty products.

  • Odorless Sweet Almond Oil
    This refined version of sweet almond carrier oil has no natural scent, making it ideal for DIY perfumes. You can also opt for other odorless oils like jojoba, fractionated coconut, or rosehip oil based on your preferences.

    Jojoba oil has a yellowish hue, while rosehip oil is pinkish, which can add color to your oil perfume.
  • 5 Fragrance Oils
    Choose the fragrances you love. This oil perfume recipe combines musk with a blend of rose, cherry, amber, coconut, and almond fragrance oils.

    Floral rose adds a romantic essence, while fruity cherry brings brightness. Rich amber introduces warmth, coconut lends a tropical note, and almond offers comforting nutty sweetness, creating a luxurious fragrance experience.
  • Premium-quality Musk Cube
    The musk cube adds a rich, deep scent to your oil perfume, enhancing its fragrance depth. Musk cubes are concentrated, long-lasting ingredients that create an enduring scent experience.

    This recipe features the premium musk cube from Abdul Samad Al Qurashi (available online), but you can also use any other high-quality musk cube. Its concentrated form blends seamlessly with other fragrance oils, ensuring a luxurious experience in every drop.
  • Oil-soluble Color Powder (Optional)
  • Liquid Vitamin E (Optional)

Gather the Gear

  • Graduated measuring cup (10 ml)
  • Five graduated droppers or pipettes (1 ml, 2 ml, etc.)
  • Small glass or ceramic container for blending your oils
  • Glass mixing rod
  • Small plate
  • Small grater to grate the necessary amount from the musk cube
  • Small funnel
  • Two 12-ml dark glass or amber bottle to store your finished perfume, protecting it from light. Such small perfume bottles are commonly referred to as fragrance vials or tulas.

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.

Let’s Make the DIY Rich Oil Perfume with Musk

In this recipe, we will prepare 24 ml of concentrated oil perfume. Since our fragrance vial or tula holds 12 ml, the quantity prepared will fill two such bottles.

1- Begin by pouring 10 ml (0.34 fl oz) of odorless sweet almond carrier oil into a small container.

2- Use a graduated dropper or pipette to add the following five fragrance oils to the sweet almond oil; make sure to use a clean dropper for each oil to avoid mixing scents:

  • 2 ml (0.067 fl oz) of rose fragrance oil.
  • 2 ml (0.067 fl oz) of cherry fragrance oil.
  • 2 ml (0.067 fl oz) of coconut fragrance oil.
  • 1 ml (0.033 fl oz) of almond fragrance oil.
  • 7 ml (0.24 fl oz) of amber fragrance oil.

6- Stir the mixture thoroughly.

7- As an optional step, you can color the oil perfume: in a separate small container, mix well a small amount of sweet almond carrier oil with a touch of oil-soluble color powder. Add a drop of the color mixture to the oil perfume blend and stir thoroughly. Do not add the color powder directly to the perfume.

8- To protect the oil perfume from oxidation and rancidity, consider adding 0.5 grams (0.017 oz) of vitamin E and stir well. This helps to extend its shelf life and maintain its quality over time.

9- Use a small funnel to fill two fragrance vials (tulas) with the finished oil perfume.

Using It Right

a. Test for Allergies: Before full application, test one drop on an area of skin like the inside of your wrist or elbow. Wait for 24 hours to check for any allergic reactions or sensitivities. Look out for redness, itching, swelling, or irritation; if any occur, avoid using the product.

b. Apply Sparingly: Start with just one drop of the oil perfume on pulse points, such as your wrists, behind your ears, and on your neck. This concentrated perfume goes a long way.

c. Avoid Rubbing: When applying, avoid rubbing the perfume into your skin, as this can alter the fragrance. Instead, let it absorb naturally.

d. Storage: Keep your perfume in a cool, dark place to maintain its potency and prevent degradation. A dark glass bottle is ideal for protecting the oil from light.

e. Mix and Match: While this recipe features six scents, feel free to experiment by using other fragrance oils to create custom oil perfumes that suit your style.
