How To Make Your Own Perfume
January 28th, 2008 
Lito
Most people like perfume because they love to smell good specially ladies and women. That is why a perfume business can be lucrative if you know how to properly market them. There is also a perfume refilling business you can see in malls with different kinds of well know brands like Drakar, Lacoste, Eternity and so fort that you can purchase in 5 ml bottles. Anyway they are still expensive compared to a home made perfume which you can experiment if you are well experienced on making perfume even though you are not a chemist. So without much ado here are the things you will need to start one:
For the laboratory equipment, you will need:
- A weighing scale or a kitchen scale ( up to 10 kg depending on how much you will make)
- Plastic cups
- A stirring rod
- A small beaker
- A 1,000 ml beaker
- A volumetric flask
Raw materials needed:
- 70 grams deodorized alcohol (TDOH)
- 15 grams fragrance
- 5 grams muscol (MCL)
- 5 grams moisturiser (propylene glycol or PPG)
- 5 grams distilled water
For packaging you will need spray bottles which you can purchase in 5ml net content bottles or roll-on glass bottles in 10 ml net content in Divisoria Market, Manila.
Procedure:
- Prepare all the raw materials needed in plastic cups except the alcohol because it evaporates easily. You can prepare it just before starting the mixing. Weigh each needed liquid materials individually in cups but first weigh the cups and adjust the scale to zero so the weigh of the cups will not be included with the materials. (see the measurement above for each materials)
- Then place the small beaker on the weighing scale and adjust the scale to zero. This is for the alcohol I mentioned before. Pour the alcohol until it weighs 70 grams. Then pour the MCL and make sure the plastic cup is empty of the MCL by pouring alcohol from the beaker, scraping it with the stirring rod and transferring it back to the beaker. Mix thoroughly until well dispersed in the alcohol. Take note that water and MCL should not be mixed first because it will harden it.
- Then add the PPG to the mixture and stir again until well blended. Then add the rest of the materials one by one stirring each time you add the materials and make sure it is well dispersed.
- Finally add the distilled water in the mixture then mix thoroughly until it becomes homogeneous. You can then transfer them in containers.
You can buy the materials from chemical laboratories or purchase a kit from Ultima Entrepinoy Forum Center.

Hello. I am also interested in making homemade perfumes. I live in the south. Where can I buy the materials like the bottles in divisoria? How about the chemicals? Is there a company here in the south like in makati or pasay? Quezon City is quite far from my place of residence. Thanks

* 70 grams deodorized alcohol (TDOH)
* 15 grams fragrance
* 5 grams muscol (MCL)

Hello Chelle,
I’m, sorry I don’t know where is Surigao can you buy these chemicals. Try asking chemical supply stores there.
July 27th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
hello!
Surigao City is in mindanao, province of Surigao del norte.
Thank you..
July 28th, 2008 at 4:58 pm
Thanks for the info but I still don’t know where can you find suppliers of those chemicals in Surigao.
July 30th, 2008 at 2:09 pm
No..what I mean, the suppliers in Metro Manilawho distribuetd those kinds of chemicals. I want to know those specific suppliers who sell those chemicals and also for the packaging.
Thank you.
August 3rd, 2008 at 6:04 pm
hello po..!!
I just want to know lang were we can find suppliers in Metro Manila who distributed kinds of chemicals and also for packaging. Kasi dito po sa Surigao City walang nag titinda and gagamitin na po namin ang mga chemicals para sa feasibility namin.
Thank you po…

Hi Chelle,
It was already ask by other visitors here. Just read all the comments above.

ano po ba ung pangalan sa device na pampadikit or panseal sa cellophane cover ng mga plastic bottles ng perfume?
alam nyo po ba kung saan ako pwedeng makabili nun?
September 24th, 2008 at 10:31 pm
Hi. This is a great help for beginners like me who wants to venture in the perfume industry. I do have a question though. What chemical should we add up in order for the perfume to have a color? And where can you buy these colors? Kasi parang medyo monotonous pag puro clear lang yung perfume. Your reply will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello Gilai, I’ll try to find out what chemical is used for the coloring. Try to search online using google or yahoo.
September 26th, 2008 at 6:24 am
to Gilai:
I’ve read from a site that you can use food coloring in the perfumes. just make sure no to use too much of it. ;>

Thanks for this very informative post
I started making my own perfumes as my science project. Now it became a special hobby. Mostly I use vodka for my alcohol base perfumes.
Thanks

Hello ronnie,
Wala yata sa tutuban yung mga supplies kasi puro damit yata at ready made products ang nandoon. Try mo sa Ylaya, doon sa loob ng divisoria mismo. Try mo rin magtanong sa mga tindera doon.

I’m making perfumes right now and I’m planning to sell it to my friends, classmates, even to everyone in my university. My question is, is it necessary for me to have a chemist check my product? Should I apply it for certification to DOST, BFAD, etc.?
