In this quick and fun tutorial, we’re showing you how to create your own solid perfume using simple, natural ingredients—and store it in a beautiful locket that travels with you wherever you go.
???? Why Solid Perfume?
Solid perfumes are:
-
Portable & spill-proof: Perfect for your purse, pocket, or around your neck.
-
Customizable: Blend your favorite essential oils to create a scent that’s uniquely you.
-
Clean & natural: No synthetic fragrances or mystery chemicals—just pure, skin-loving ingredients.
???? What You’ll Need
Ingredients:
-
1 tsp beeswax pastilles (for structure)
-
1 tsp carrier oil (like Fractionated Coconut, Jojoba, or Almond Oil)
-
10–15 drops of essential oil(s) of your choice
(Think Lavender + Vanilla for calm, or Citrus + Mint for energy!)
Tools:
-
A double boiler or heat-safe bowl over a pot
-
A spoon or stir stick
-
A locket with a shallow compartment (or a small balm tin if you prefer)
???? Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Melt the base
In your double boiler, melt the beeswax and carrier oil together over low heat. Stir gently until fully melted. -
Add your scent
Remove from heat and let cool just slightly before adding your essential oils. Stir well. -
Pour into locket
Carefully pour the mixture into your locket’s compartment. Allow it to cool and solidify completely—this takes just a few minutes! -
Wear & enjoy
Once cooled, you can close your locket and wear it around your neck, or toss it into your bag for a quick refresh throughout the day.
???? Scent Blend Ideas
-
Floral + Warm: Geranium, Ylang Ylang, Vanilla
-
Fresh & Bright: Grapefruit, Lime, Peppermint
-
Earthy & Grounding: Patchouli, Cedarwood, Frankincense
Tip: Use about 3–5 drops of each oil in a blend. Start small—you can always re-melt and tweak if needed!
