How to make solid perfume at home
We’ve covered how to make your own perfume before, but we’ve never gotten into DIY solid perfume. In the video above, we show you exactly how to make your own solid perfume at home and seriously, it’s WAY easier than you’d expect.

To whip our solid perfume up, we used the household items below. But keep in mind, there are a tonne of different ways to make solid perfume at home, so we encourage you to experiment and find what works for you!
Ingredients:
10 drops of an essential oil of your choice (bh tip: you can substitute the essential oil out for your fave perfume and voila – a mini travel version!)
2 teaspoons of vaseline
2 teaspoons of almond oil
What you’ll need:
1 microwave-safe bowl
1 small container or tin
1 teaspoon
We guarantee it’s easy as pie and a lot of fun, but if the thought of a DIY experiment is making you queasy, you can't go wrong with a store-bought solid perfume. beautyheaven loves L’OCCITANE Roses et Reines Solid Perfume and Lush Gorilla Perfume Imogen Rose solid perfume.

Natural beeswax would work better than Vaseline though... Vaseline melts too easily, imagine trying to carry that around in summer...!

Great idea, but I’m too lazy to do this. If you have the time and patience, and it’s something that interests you though then go for it!

I love a bit of DIY. Use deodorised cocoa butter or coconut oil for a non-petroleum based solid perfume.

Fun idea to experiment with blending your own fragrances. I have a few oils that I wouldn't mind trying this out with.

Such a great DIY! Will try it with beeswax and my fave perfume, though I wonder if it will change the smell...

It's so easy making a DIY scented balm that I can't believe I haven't tried it before. I would use another ingredient such as beeswax instead of Vaseline.

Thanks for this video, BH. I didn't realise it was that easy to make solid perfume. It will be great to take on travel with me. I'd make a Lavender solid perfume using the Thursday Plantation Lavender Oil because it smells so strong and nice !!!
