The Aroma Families
Before we start, let’s talk about aroma families!
Perfumes are often categorized into distinct families that help us understand the scent profiles and experiences they offer. The prominent aroma families include floral, fresh, oriental, and woody. Each family brings its unique characteristics and feelings to the table.
Amber Musk, for instance, belongs to the oriental family, renowned for its warm and spicy notes that evoke a sense of luxury and intrigue. This captivating profile enhances your unique aura and makes it an ideal choice for creating a sophisticated and lasting impression. By understanding these families, you’ll be better equipped to choose fragrances that resonate with your personality and the mood you wish to convey.
What’s in This Musk Perfume Recipe
Perfumer’s Alcohol
Perfumer’s alcohol is crucial in creating your own Musk Perfume, serving dual purposes as a solvent and a preservative. It effectively dissolves essential oils and fragrance molecules as a solvent, allowing them to blend harmoniously, resulting in a well-rounded scent experience. Moreover, quality perfumer’s alcohol helps preserve your fragrance’s integrity, ensuring the alluring aroma lasts.
Focus Essential Oil Blend
The Focus Essential Oil Blend is a refreshing combination of essential oils that synergistically enhance your awareness and clarity while providing a crisp and invigorating aroma. Incorporating this blend into your Amber Musk Perfume adds a vibrant and uplifting dimension to the fragrance and supports your mindfulness journey.
Patchouli Essential Oil
Patchouli Essential Oil, a key ingredient in our Amber Musk Perfume, is celebrated for its deep, earthy, and musky qualities. This oil has a rich complexity, infusing your fragrance with warmth and exoticism. Its grounding properties make it an ideal base note, providing a robust foundation that connects well with Focus Blend’s aroma.
Things to Remember When Using this Recipe
Always dilute an essential oil when using it on the skin. This essential oil recipe is unlikely to cause skin irritation when diluted properly. If the oil has oxidized (been left with the cap off for long periods of time), it is more likely to cause skin irritation. Check out this dilution chart for diluting this essential oil properly.
Some essential oil recipes are not generally safe to use if you are pregnant. Consult your doctor prior to use.
This essential oil recipe is safe to use with kids aged 10+.

Amber Musk Perfume Recipe
Time: 2 mins
Est. Shelf Life: 12 months
Yield: 10 mL
Ingredients
- From Your Box
2 tsp perfumer’s alcohol
7 drops Focus Essential Oil Blend
3 drops Patchouli Essential Oil
- From Your Home
10mL spray bottle or roll-on bottle 🛒
Directions
- Add the essential oils to the bottle and swirl to mix. Add the perfumer’s alcohol, pausing to swirl the bottle occasionally.
- Many perfumers let their perfumes age in a dark, cool location for at least three weeks before using them. This allows the scent to mature and develop. However, if you want to use the perfume immediately, go for it.
tip from katie
- Adding ingredients to small-necked bottles like perfume bottles can be tricky. It can be helpful to use a small funnel (available as a Simply Earth add-on) or to mix the ingredients in a small glass pitcher before pouring them into your container.
Applying Your Perfume
To get the most out of your Amber Musk Perfume, apply it to pulse points like your wrists, neck, and behind your ears. These areas produce heat which helps to release the fragrance more effectively, ensuring that the enchanting aroma lingers throughout your day. By targeting these specific locations, you’ll create a captivating scent trail that enhances your allure and leaves a lasting impression on those around you. Remember, a little goes a long way, so start with a light application and refresh as needed to keep your essence vibrant and inviting!
