diy body sprays

Learn how to craft your own perfumes with natural botanical extracts. With so many gorgeous organic essential oils and hydrosols being distilled or pressed from fruits, barks, flowers, resins, and other plant material, it's easy to become enchanted with the blending process. Plus, many of these ingredients also offer aromatherapeutic and skin care benefits. Creating beautiful fragrances that are perfect for you is a dreamy pursuit.

DIY Body Sprays with Essential Oils

organic hydrosols, organic witch hazel extract, or plain vodka

little amber vials (for testing aromas)

To make a simple test blend, choose just 2 or 3 essential oils.

Carefully drip a total of 10 drops into a small vial and take notes of the ratio (example: 5 drops of cistus, 3 drops of sandalwood, and 2 drops of lavender). Roll the bottle between your palms to combine.

Take a whiff or use a cotton ball to allow the blend to develop.

Smell again after an hour or two and then again the next day to experience the fragrance's arc.

You can also go simple and use just one essential oil instead of making a blend.

Once you have an essential oil blend you love, it's time to make the body spray.

Use a hydrosol for the base to give your blend extra complexity or go for a neutral option, like vodka or witch hazel extract.

Calculate a 2% dilution for the size of your spray bottle and mix up a batch of your essential oil blend.

To simplify this process, multiply 12 drops of the blend per ounce of base carrier.

So, if you have a 4oz spray bottle, use 48 total drops of your essential oil blend. Carefully count each drop as you drip the blend into your base and then shake well.

Congrats! Your body spray is ready to be enjoyed. It's that easy!
