🧪 Key Ingredients You’ll Need
1. Perfume Oils (Concentrates)
Choose from bestsellers like Ambroxan for musky depth or Ethyl Vanillin for a sweet vanilla twist.
2. Top, Middle & Base Notes
Balance your blend using a perfume pyramid:
- Top Notes: Citrus oils, aldehydes (e.g., Aldehyde C-12 Lauric)
- Middle Notes: Rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang
- Base Notes: Sandalwood, patchouli, musks, resins like Benzoin Siam
3. Diluents
Use Dipropylene Glycol (DPG) or ethanol to dilute the concentrated oils to make them skin-safe and sprayable.
4. Fixatives
Fixatives slow down the evaporation rate and add longevity to your fragrance. Popular options include Ambroxan, Iso E Super, and Benzoin.
5. Bottles & Accessories
Bio Shop™ also stocks perfume bottles, droppers, and pipettes to make your DIY process easy and professional.
