Exact beginner dilution?

Start at 15% aromatic in carrier for a 10 ml roller: 1.5 ml scent oils + 8.5 ml jojoba/FCO. Sensitive skin: 10% (1.0 ml scent + 9.0 ml carrier). Evening richer oil: 20% (2.0 ml scent + 8.0 ml carrier).

Oil perfume vs alcohol spray?

Oil projects less in a room, sits closer to skin, and often lasts longer on fabric-contact areas. Alcohol sprays bloom bigger and feel lighter. This course is the oil track; use Make Your Own Perfume at Home for alcohol spray.

Why does it smell weak at first?

Judge after 48 hours aging and after 20 minutes on skin. Fresh blends are harsh and dishonest. Also confirm you actually hit 15%, not 5%.

Cosmetic laws vary. This course is for personal use and gifts unless you meet your country's cosmetic labeling and registration rules.

First steps from Dilution chart and bottle prep

See how every step looks — photo, checklist, and pro tips included.

01Alcohol-rinse and dry three 10 ml rollers

Rinse bottles and rollers with isopropyl alcohol. Air-dry fully upside down on a clean towel — minimum 20 minutes.

Any leftover water clouds the oil and shortens shelf life.

02Write the 10 ml dilution chart in your notebook

Tape this chart inside your oil cabinet:

10 ml ROLLER DILUTION • 10% = 1.0 ml scent + 9.0 ml carrier • 15% = 1.5 ml scent + 8.5 ml carrier ← default this course • 20% = 2.0 ml scent + 8.0 ml carrier
