Preliminary

1. Materials and tools

Before making a perfume spray, you need to prepare the following materials and tools⬇️

• • Perfume or perfume liquid: you can use commercially available perfume, or choose perfume liquid and diluent (such as distilled water, alcohol) to mix by yourself. It is recommended to use high purity perfume liquid, so that you can adjust the concentration of the fragrance according to your personal needs.
  • 10 ml and 2 ml glass spray bottles: 10 ml is suitable for daily use, while 2 ml is easy to carry around or travel with. Prefer glass with high clarity or frosted texture to maintain the purity and stability of the fragrance.
  • Small funnels or droppers: funnels are suitable for filling 10ml bottles, while droppers are more suitable for 2ml bottles for precise dosage control.
  • Alcohol (75% concentration is the best): it is used to sterilize the glass bottle and the nozzle to ensure the cleanliness of the bottle and to avoid the deterioration of the perfume.
  • Tissue box with cotton swabs: Tissues are used to wipe the outside of the bottle and residual liquid, while cotton swabs are suitable for cleaning the mouth of the bottle and the crevices of the nozzle.

2. Selection and cleaning of glass spray bottles

(1) How to choose a suitable glass bottle

• • Sealing: Choose a spray bottle with good sealing performance to avoid perfume evaporation. Check if the sealing cap can fit tightly with the mouth of the bottle.
  • Material: Prefer glass bottles as they have high chemical stability and can better protect the scent and ingredients of the perfume. Avoid using plastic , which reacts with the ingredients in the perfume and affects the quality of the perfume itself.
  • Nozzle quality: Choose a nozzle with fine, even spray, which is not only easy to use, but also enhances the effect of perfume spraying.

(2) Thoroughly clean the bottle and spray tip with alcohol

• • Clean glass bottles: Soak glass bottles in warm water for a few minutes to remove residue (if they are second use bottles). Pour a small amount of 75% alcohol into the lukewarm water, close the cap tightly and shake gently to ensure that every corner of the interior is exposed to the alcohol. Dip a cotton swab into the alcohol and carefully wipe the top and outside of the bottle to remove any stains and odors that may remain.
  • Cleaning the nozzle: Place the nozzle in a small container and soak it in alcohol for a few minutes. Use a cotton swab to gently wipe the spray spout and small internal parts to ensure a smooth and clog-free flow.

(3) Precautions to be taken when drying by the air

• • After cleaning, invert the bottle onto a clean paper towel or cloth.
  • Place in a well-ventilated cool place, avoiding direct sunlight or prolonged exposure to humidity to ensure complete dryness.
  • Check for residual moisture inside the bottle and gently dry the inside of the bottle with a clean paper towel if necessary.

With the above steps, the preparation can be successfully completed and fully prepared for filling perfume!

Blending and Filling Steps

1. Blending of perfumes

(1) Simple methods of blending perfumes according to personal preferences

• • If you use ready-made perfume, you can fill it directly into a spray bottle.
  • If you want to blend a personalized perfume, choose your favorite original perfume as the base, mix a dilution solution (such as distilled water or unscented alcohol), and adjust the ratios according to the concentration of the fragrance.
  • A small amount of essential oils or other perfumery ingredients can be added appropriately to add unique layers.

(2) Recommended ratios

• • Eau De Toilette: the ratio of original perfume to dilution is 1:4 or 1:3.
  • Eau De Parfum: the ratio of the original perfume to the diluted solution is 1:2.
  • Pure perfume: the proportion of the original perfume is higher than 30%, suitable for the production of more intense perfume. (Tip: the use of distilled water can reduce the irritation, alcohol can better help the diffusion of aroma, the two can be mixed according to preference.)

(3) Concentration selection considerations

• • When using a high concentration of original perfume, the dilution should be increased gradually to avoid overly strong or pungent odor.
  • It is recommended to mix a small amount of samples in the test, through a small amount of trial spray test recall, satisfied with the batch production.
  • Note that the retention time is directly proportional to the concentration, the lower the dilution ratio, the shorter the perfume retention.

2. Filling of glass spray bottles

(1) Use a funnel or dropper to avoid wastage

• • Funnel: Insert the funnel into the mouth of the bottle and carefully pour in the perfume liquid, make sure the liquid does not overflow.
  • Dropper: Use a dropper to draw up the perfume and inject it into the bottle drop by drop, which is more suitable for small volume 2ml spray bottles.
  • Syringe: You can also use a clean syringe to draw up each perfume original liquid separately for mixing.

(2) Tips for filling 10ml and 2ml spray bottles respectively

• • 10ml spray bottle: Due to the large mouth of the bottle, it is recommended to use a funnel to pour the perfume directly into the bottle. Pay attention to filling slowly during the introduction process to avoid a lot of air bubbles.
  • 2ml spray bottle: the mouth of the bottle is smaller, it is recommended to use a dropper to control the injection volume to avoid liquid spillage. If there is no dropper, use a syringe instead.

(3) Check that the nozzle is securely installed

• • After aligning the nozzle with the mouth of the bottle, press firmly until it snaps into place to ensure that the nozzle fits tightly with the mouth of the bottle without looseness or gaps.
  • Test the spray function, gently press the nozzle to check that the spray is all even and smooth. If the spray is not smooth, it may be necessary to re-clean the nozzle or adjust the installation angle.

With these steps, you can easily mix and fill an exclusive bottle of perfume spray for daily use or carrying needs!

Usage and Storage Recommendations

1. How to use perfume spray correctly

(1) The best distance and method of spraying

• • Best distance: Keep the spray bottle at a distance of 15-20 centimeters from your skin to ensure an even spraying range.
  • Spraying parts: It is recommended to spray on the parts with higher body temperature, such as wrists, behind the ears, neck and collarbone, which can emit the fragrance better.
  • Spraying method: When pressing the nozzle, the action should be gentle but quick to avoid clogging the nozzle or excessive perfume flow.

(2) Tips to prevent over-spraying

• • Moderate use: It is recommended to spray 1-2 times each time, especially to avoid overdose of strong perfume, to prevent the aroma from being too strong.
  • Spraying in small amounts: Spraying in different parts of the body can avoid a single area of too strong and more lasting fragrance.
  • Test the amount of spray: When using for the first time, gently press the nozzle to observe the amount of spray and atomization effect, so as to control the intensity of use.

2. Storage considerations

(1) Avoid direct sunlight and high temperature

• • Sunlight and high temperatures can destroy the chemical components in the perfume, resulting in deterioration or discoloration of the scent. Avoid storing the perfume in the car, by the window or in other areas exposed to the sun.

(2) It is recommended to store in a cool and dry place

• • Choose a light and dry place to store your perfume, such as a drawer, closet or cosmetic organizer. Low temperatures and a constant environment will better maintain the quality of your perfume.
  • If the environment is humid, make sure the cap of the perfume bottle is sealed to prevent air and moisture from entering and affecting the stability of the perfume.

(3) Importance of sealing

• • Immediately after each use, tighten or press the cap to ensure that the nozzle and mouth of the bottle are completely sealed to avoid evaporation of perfume.
  • Regularly check the mouth of the bottle and the nozzle to remove any liquid residue that may be present to prevent clogging of the sprayer or reduction of the seal.

Through proper use and proper storage, perfume sprays not only retain their fragrance for longer, but also ensure that their quality is always as good as new!

Frequently Asked Questions and Solutions

1. What if the nozzle of the spray bottle is clogged?

• • Check if the nozzle is clogged with foreign objects: in case of uncertainty, you can now remove the nozzle and soak it in 75% alcohol for a few minutes, then rinse it out with water to ensure it is clear. You can also use a fine needle or fine wire to unclog the nozzle by gently inserting it into the small hole of the nozzle to remove the clogged residue.
  • Adjust nozzle position: If the spray is uneven or clogged, the nozzle may be improperly installed. Retighten or reorient the nozzle to ensure alignment with the bottle opening.
  • Replace the nozzle: If the nozzle has been clogged for a long time or cannot be repaired, replace it with a new one to ensure effective use.

2. How can I prevent my perfume from evaporating too quickly?

• • Choose a spray bottle with a good seal: High quality glass bottles and nozzles can better prevent the perfume from evaporating, especially the sealing design at the nozzle is very important.
  • Proper storage: Avoid exposing the perfume bottle to heat or sunlight, and it is recommended to store it in a cool and dry place. Immediately after using the bottle, the cap needs to be tightened or the nozzle pressed firmly to minimize the chance of air entering the bottle.
  • Reduce frequent opening of the cap: If frequent use is required, it is recommended that the perfume be dispensed into smaller bottles to minimize evaporation losses from the large capacity glass bottles.

3. Shelf life of homemade perfumes and the factors affecting it

• • Shelf life: Homemade perfumes usually last 6-12 months, depending on the ingredients used and the storage environment. If the perfume contains natural essential oils or non-alcoholic ingredients, the shelf life may be shorter (about 6 months).
  • Influencing factors: edible alcohol as a diluent of perfume preservation period is longer, because alcohol has a preservative effect; temperature, humidity and light will affect the chemical stability of perfume, to maintain a low temperature and avoid the light can extend the preservation time; high-quality glass bottles can be better insulated from the air and light, reducing the rate of oxidation.
  • Judge whether the deterioration: If the smell of perfume becomes pungent and unnatural or the color of perfume becomes darker and there are foreign deposits, it may be the result of the oxidation of the chemical composition, the perfume may have deteriorated.
