    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.

    A lovely idea but I often buy good neutral body lotion, put some lotion in a smaller container and then add a few drops of perfume. This way I have fragrant matching body lotion to my perfume and the lotion does not get 'old'. Once used up I make a new batch.

    Interesting. This is a cool thing to try.

    Sounds like fun

    Totally going to try this. It looks pretty easy too.

    I will have to try making my own solid perfume now I have the recipe.

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

    Lucy16 6 Jun 2019 2:46 PM

    A great recipe...

    Lucy16 6 Jun 2019 2:45 PM

    Love DIY.

    Rosa 4 Jun 2019 12:08 AM

    What a great idea. Might have to try this.

    angie_robyn 27 May 2019 11:48 AM

    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!

    MoonlightSak16 21 May 2019 1:26 PM

    This is such a cool idea. i am always wanting to DIY beauty stuff.

    How simple. Great video.

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

    perthchick 9 Jul 2018 10:08 AM

    Oooooo I have bookmarked this. Very appealing to me.

    cait4bsc 5 Jun 2018 11:03 AM

    Looks very cool, thanks

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

    Sootyhere 18 Jun 2018 11:52 AM

    me too

    Hayley644 8 May 2018 4:16 PM

    I don't think I'd have the patience to do this.

    Sootyhere 18 Jun 2018 11:53 AM

    patience comes with reward

    Jessica712 8 May 2018 12:59 PM

    Great tutorial. I love solid perfume so I will be trying this!

    Trish_D 7 May 2018 3:41 PM

    I'd be interested to know if anyone actually tried making their own after reading this.

    TheDevineOne 5 May 2018 3:39 PM

    Great tutorial and so easy! Will definitely give this a try :)

    Eskimo82 1 May 2018 7:38 PM

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

    Petal 29 Apr 2018 7:43 PM

    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.
