Question
How to make solid perfume using the purchased เม็ดน้ำหอม (Perfume Beads)?
I have added น้ำมันหอมระเหย (Essential Oil) to the beads, but the scent fades very quickly. What is the correct method, and why does the scent disappear so fast?
Answer
How to Make Solid Perfume with Perfume Beads
To make solid perfume using the Perfume beads, aroma diffuser beads, Solid Perfume, follow these steps:
- Mix the fragrance: Combine your fragrance (such as a fragrance oil or essential oil blend) with the perfume beads. The recommended ratio is approximately 20-30% fragrance by weight of the beads. For example, for 100g of beads, use 20-30g of fragrance.
- Allow for absorption: Gently mix the beads and fragrance, ensuring the fragrance touches the beads. The beads will gradually absorb the fragrance over about 1 day. It's important to allow sufficient time for the beads to fully absorb the scent.
Why the Scent May Disappear Quickly
If the scent is disappearing quickly, there could be a few reasons:
- Volatility of the fragrance: Essential oils, while natural, can be quite volatile, meaning they evaporate relatively quickly, especially when exposed to air. Fragrance oils are often formulated to be less volatile and may provide longer-lasting scents in applications like solid perfumes or diffusers.
- Insufficient absorption time: Ensure you allow the fragrance beads to absorb the oil for at least 24 hours before expecting the full scent throw and longevity.
- Concentration: Using a higher concentration of fragrance (within the recommended 20-30% range) might help the scent last longer.
For better longevity in solid perfumes made with these beads, consider using fragrance oils specifically designed for this type of application, as they are often blended for improved stability and lasting power compared to some essential oils.
