Have you ever wanted to create your own signature scent? DIY solid perfume is a perfect way to make your unique fragrance that is natural, chemical-free, and long-lasting.
Solid perfumes are made from natural ingredients like beeswax and carrier oils, making them an eco-friendly and sustainable option. Plus, you can customize your perfume to suit your personal preferences by selecting your favorite essential oils or creating your own blend. Here, we will use the oud and rose fragrance blend which will give the perfume a lovely scent.
We’ll guide you through the steps of making your DIY solid perfume that is natural and handmade. With just a few simple ingredients and tools, you can create a beautiful and personalized fragrance that will become your go-to scent.

Ingredients Needed
- Sweet almond oil. You can also use jojoba oil, grapeseed oil or avocado oil. Just make sure the oil does not have a strong scent. The almond oil is perfect in this case as it has no smell.
- Beeswax
- Bronze mica color powder
- Your choice of fragrance oil
- Vegetable glycerin
- vitamin E
Notes on Ingredients
Choose high-quality ingredients to boost the effectiveness and safety of your DIY beauty products.
When an essential oil is included, I use either pure or diluted essential oils. If using pure essential oils, use up to 2% by weight. To use diluted essential oils, mix 1 gram (0.035 oz) of pure essential oil with 100 grams (3.5 oz) of sweet almond oil or jojoba oil.
If a recipe calls for fragrance oil, you can use diluted essential oil instead to benefit from both its scent and therapeutic effects. This provides a natural alternative to synthetic fragrance oils and offers additional benefits.

Tools I Use
- Scale
- Bowl
- Plain lollipop stick for mixing
Unit of Measurement: gram
- 30 grams of sweet almond oil = 1.05 ounces
- 10 grams of beeswax = 0.35 ounces
- 10 grams of fragrance oil = 0.35 ounces
- 2 grams of glycerin = 0.07 ounces
- A pill of vitamin E
Steps: DIY Solid Perfume
Note: Make sure you use the exact measurements in your product. Otherwise, if you add more beeswax, the perfume will be too solid, and if you use more almond oil, it will be too soft.
1- Begin by pouring 30 grams of sweet almond oil into the bowl.

2- Add 10 grams of beeswax.

3- Mix it well and heat the mixture using the bain-marie method, i.e hot water bath: a hot water bath is done by placing the bowl in a larger pot of hot steaming water. This will gradually melt whatever is inside the bowl. As it melts, make sure to mix every now and then.

4- Next, add a bit of the bronze mica color powder and mix well. You’ll start to notice your mixture transforming into a beautiful texture.
Note: Since this is a solid perfume, we can add mica color powder to it. For liquid perfumes, we cannot and we have to use oil color powder.

5- Next, we will add the fragrance oil. We can only add it once the mix has cooled down a bit and we are able to hold the bowl comfortably. Otherwise the fragrance oil might evaporate.
Add 10 grams of your preferred fragrance oil and mix.
6- Add 2 grams of glycerin and mix well. The glycerin acts as perfume fixative which will make the scent last longer.
7- Lastly, add vitamin E. Just cut a pill and squeeze the liquid out into the mix.
8- After you have mixed it well, pour the mix into a container or box before it solidifies.
