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.
