Homemade perfume oil is not only natural and long-lasting, but it also allows you to create a scent that is uniquely yours. It’s also a beautiful DIY gift idea!
✨ What Is a Perfume Oil?
Perfume oil is a gentle, alcohol-free fragrance made by blending essential oils with a carrier oil like jojoba, sweet almond, or fractionated coconut oil. It glides smoothly onto the skin, and the scent lasts for hours without drying your skin.
🧪 Ingredients for a 10 ml Roll-On Perfume Oil
- 8 ml jojoba or fractionated coconut oil (carrier oil)
- 10 to 15 drops of essential oils total (about 10–15% concentration)
How much essential oil should you use?
For a 10 ml perfume oil, use between 10 to 15 drops of essential oils in total. This results in a 10–15% dilution, which is ideal for personal fragrance use — strong enough to last, but gentle enough for everyday wear.
Popular summer essential oils:
- Sweet Orange – cheerful, fresh, energizing
- Ylang-Ylang – exotic, floral, feminine
- Lavender – calming, soft, relaxing
- Bergamot – citrusy, uplifting
- Jasmine – sweet, romantic
- Lemongrass – refreshing, with natural bug-repelling qualities
🧴 How to Make It – Step by Step
- Sterilize your roll-on bottle (rinse with hot water and let dry).
- Add essential oils – start with base notes, then middle, then top notes.
- Fill the rest with your chosen carrier oil (up to 10 ml total volume).
- Close and shake gently to blend.
- Let it sit for a few days to allow the scent to mature (optional, but recommended).
🌿 Sample Summer Blend
- 5 drops sweet orange

Tip: Use a dark glass roll-on bottle to protect the oils and keep the scent lasting longer.
