Making Perfume & Cologne

Eau de Cologne – Usage Rate:

Not suitable

Eau de cologne (EDC) has a much lower fragrance concentration (about 2% to 4%) than the EDT with a high alcohol content, and therefore it is the cheapest option. It generally lasts for up to two hours.

Eau de Toilette – Usage Rate:

Not suitable

Eau de toilette (EDT) has a fragrance concentration of between 5% to 15%. It is cheaper than the EDP and is one of the most popular types of fragrance available. It will normally last two to three hours and is a popular choice for affordable body mists and roll-on perfumes.

Eau de Parfum – Usage Rate:

Not suitable

The next highest fragrance concentration would be eau de parfum (EDP) with oil concentration between 15 to 20%. On average, you can get a good four to five hours of your fragrance lasting.

Perfume – Usage Rate:

Not suitable

With more than 20% oil concentration, you are likely to still notice your fragrance working from morning to evening. Perfumes have the highest fragrance concentration and would last the longest among all other types: usually six to eight hours. These are also the most expensive due to the high concentration of fragrance and/or essential oils.

ScentStay (optional):

2%

Perfumers Alcohol (Spray On):

Up to 100%

Mineral Oil (Roll On):

Up to 100%

How to guide:

a) Decide if you want a spray or roll on product, then choose a suitable bottle.

Make a note of the volume capacity of the bottle: Roller bottles are usually 10ml. Spray bottles usually come in 30 – 100ml sizes.

b) Pick how strong a product you want: full strength perfume, or maybe a light body mist? Check the usage rates above and pick a number from the percentage range.

You should now have two numbers written down: bottle volume (BV) and fragrance strength (FS)

Now it’s time for a little maths.

How to calculate the formula:

  1. Take the volume of the bottle (BV) from Step One. In my example I’m using a 50ml spray bottle. So my first number in the formula is 50.
  2. Take the percentage of strength (FS) for the type of product you’re making. In my example I’ve decided to make a Perfume, and I’ve picked a strength of 30% (middle of the range). So my second number in the formula is 0.3

    To convert a percentage to a number, move the decimal place two places over to the left, eg: 30.00% = 0.30 or 9.00% = 0.09 If you get stuck on the conversion, you can use this handy calculator:
    Percent to Decimal Calculator

  3. I’ve also decided to use ScentStay to help my perfume last a little longer. The usage rate for this is 2%, so my third number is 0.02
The Formula

50 x 0.3 = 15 (the amount of fragrance required: BV x FO)
50 x 0.02 = 1 (the amount of ScentStay required: BV x SS)

Total = 16ml

Now for the last piece of math: how much carrier (alcohol or oil) to use. Take the BV (50 in my example) and minus the total of fragrance and ScentStay (16 in my example)

50 – 16 = 34

34ml is the amount of carrier needed to fill my bottle.

Now for the fun part. 

Using the numbers from Step Two, measure the fragrance oil (FO) and ScentStay (SS) into a small beaker or mixing bowl, and mix well

Measure your carrier of choice into a separate beaker or bowl. Add the FO/SS blend, or just FO if not using ScentStay, to the carrier and mix well.

So for my perfume, these are my final numbers:

15ml Fragrance oil
1ml ScentStay
34ml Perfumers alcohol

Pour into your bottle, cap and you’re done!

    Christmas Time FO

    Nice fragrance, but my lovely deep blue colour turned a charcoal grey colour … not unpleasant, but not what I was expecting. I’ll try again with a lighter blue next time, and hopefully it will hold.
    Edited to add: This FO most definitely DOES discolour! Here is one of the bars I used it on. NO colour has been added to this soap. The impression mat was left uncoloured, and had no fragrance added. The remainder of the bar is also uncoloured, but has Christmas Time FO added at the recommended rate. BIG difference.

    I’ve just made a soy wax candle with this and with Christmas Night and I’m utterly obsessed with both! Some of the other reviews are very amusing to me. Will have these as my official Xmas duo from now on.

    hi guys – after reading the reviews i finally bit the bullet today – made the sweetest cupcakes and used the fragrance Christmas Time in the bases only – lovely and fluid the whole time but used a whisk just in case to mix in the fragrance oil – no problems – it smells divine – i just hope it does darken as i didnt use much brown oxide in the bases hoping for the discolouration to occur – but i love it

    I’m not sure if it’s a bad batch – but this smells like sewerage with a hint of cinnamon. I tested it with a small batch to see how it held in bath products and it’s headache inducing. The first scent from Zen designs that I’ve disliked!

    Loved it last year and will be using again. Accelerates like batmans sidekick in cold process soap and discolors but any seasoned soapmaker will have already researched that and make that color work for their design. Last year I used this in the base of xmas tree cupcakes so the discoloration worked great for the tree stumps. All my customers are blown away at the quality of the scent throw in my soy wax melts. You’re still my fastest dispatching and delivery turnaround supplier and my only fragrance supplier! I’ve tried four other fragrance suppliers here in NZ and was frustrated at their diluted smelling replicas. Solid loyal customer right here! Thanks Zen! Vee x

    Taken me a while to like the scent and reminds me of incense, however to my friend she can smell cloves! It did accelerate my batter quite fast, so be warned to work quickly with this one.
