Organic perfumes – Create Your Own.
Making an organic perfume involves blending natural essential oils, plant-based alcohol or oil, and water to create a fragrance that is free of synthetic chemicals.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to crafting your own organic perfume:
In a natural perfume, the scent takes time to unfold and harmonize with your body’s unique chemistry—just like flowers take time to bloom in a garden. Each note in a perfume develops at its own pace:
🌿 Top notes greet you first, light and fleeting.
💐 Heart notes emerge gently, revealing the perfume’s true character.
🌲 Base notes linger, deepening over time as they blend with your skin’s warmth.
A natural perfume is a living essence, evolving uniquely on each wearer. Just as a flower doesn’t rush to bloom, a fine fragrance reveals its beauty in its own perfect time.
Ingredients & Materials
• Essential Oils (Top, Middle, and Base Notes)
• Carrier Oil (e.g., jojoba oil, sweet almond oil) or Organic Perfumers Alcohol (e.g., organic vodka, sugarcane alcohol 150 proof)
• I suggest using Fractionated non-creasy coconut oil as it has no odour profile. You need a licence to buy perfumers alcohol and vodka as most YouTubers tell you to use will not make the essential oils miscible. It must be 150 proof and is not available to the general public.
No one knows what they do not know.
• Distilled Water ( for alcohol-based perfumes you must dilute in distilled water or flower water)
• Glass Dropper Bottles (dark amber or cobalt blue to preserve the perfume.
• Small Funnel & Measuring Tools
Step 1: Choose Your Essential Oil Aroma Notes
A well-balanced perfume includes three types of notes:
• Top Notes (first impression, evaporates quickly) – citrus, lavender, peppermint, bergamot
• Middle Notes (heart of the perfume) – rose, jasmine, chamomile, ylang-ylang
• Base Notes (lasting scent) – vanilla, sandalwood, cedarwood, patchouli
A good starting ratio is 30% top notes, 50% middle notes, and 20% base notes.
Step 2: Blend Your Essential Oils
• In a small glass bottle, add about 20-30 drops of essential oils in your preferred combination.
• Let the blend sit for 24-48 hours to allow the oils to meld.
Step 3: Add a Carrier or Alcohol Base
• Oil-Based Perfume: Add 10 mL of jojoba or sweet almond oil to the essential oil blend.
• Alcohol-Based Perfume: Add 10 mL of organic alcohol (like vodka). Let it sit for 2-4 weeks to develop the scent fully.
Step 4: Dilute with Water (for Alcohol-Based Perfume)
• After the aging process, add 5 mL of distilled water to soften the scent.
• Shake well before use.
Step 5: Bottle and Store
• Pour the perfume into a dark glass bottle using a small funnel.
• Store in a cool, dark place for another week to let the scent mature.
Tips for a Long-Lasting Perfume
✔ Use high-quality, organic essential oils.
✔ Let your perfume sit for a few weeks to develop depth.
✔ Apply on pulse points (wrists, neck) for the best scent throw.
It takes time for it to merge with your bodys biological chemistry so give it a minute before you smell it.

Our History
In a quiet corner of history, a brown piece of paper held a secret—a recipe for a perfume crafted with love in 1889. Passed down through generations, this handwritten treasure carried the essence of a family's devotion to nature, beauty, and tradition. Karoleen Keys received this gift from her great-grandmother, a woman who understood the magic of botanicals and the artistry of scent.
Today, that legacy lives on through Robyn, our exclusive range of organic perfumes at Karoleen Keys Natural Perfumers & Beauty Pathways Academy. Each bottle is a whisper of the past, infused with the wisdom of nature and the purity of plant-based ingredients. We honour this time-honored craft by creating perfumes that are eco-friendly, sustainable, and green. With no synthetic additives and only natural preservatives derived from single botanical species, our fragrances are as kind to the earth as they are to your senses.
A natural perfume, the scent takes time to unfold and harmonize with your body’s unique chemistry—just like flowers take time to bloom in a garden.
