How to Make Perfume Lotion

Making perfume lotion is similar to making regular lotion, with the main difference being the concentration of fragrance used and the potential addition of a fixative to help the scent last longer.

Key Differences:

• Fragrance Concentration: While typical lotions might use around 1% fragrance, perfume lotions generally use a higher percentage, often ranging from 5% to 10% of the total formula, depending on the desired intensity.
• Fixatives: Incorporating a fixative can help anchor the fragrance molecules, making the scent more stable and longer-lasting on the skin.

Ingredients to Consider:

• Fragrance Oils: You can choose from a wide variety of fragrance oils to create your desired scent profile. Examples include Floral Background, Awakening, Healing Spa, Jasmine Fragrance Oil, or Tuberose Fragrance Oil.
• Fixatives: Ingredients like Ambroxan, Vetimoss, or Cassiffix can be used as fixatives in your formulation.

When formulating, start with a base lotion recipe and gradually add your chosen fragrance oil and fixative (if using) within the recommended percentages. Always test a small batch first to ensure the scent strength and longevity meet your expectations.
