Are you wondering how to make solid perfume? I love wearing perfume and enjoy a variety of different types of scents. I generally apply it in the morning when I’m getting ready for the day. I like to refresh it throughout the day because the scent rarely lasts all day for me.

How to Make Solid Perfume
I don’t really want to carry a bottle of perfume in my handbag. That could result in a huge mess if it ever leaked or spilled. The solution for me was to learn how to make solid perfume.
I love solid perfume because I can toss it in my bag or leave it on my desk and use it whenever I need to. The problem is that not all of my favorite designer scents are available in solid form. Lately, I have been in love with my BVLGARI au the vert perfume but I have not been able to find it in solid form anywhere. Now that I know how to make solid perfume, I can create my own.
Can I double this recipe?
If you want to make these as gifts, you can double or triple the amounts. I prefer to make one at a time since I make them for myself. They would make a great Mother’s Day gift or they’d work for wedding favors.
What scents can I use to make solid perfume?
While I chose to use my favorite designer scent, you can easily use an essential oil like jasmine or rose if you want to stick with natural. Or, you could make a citrus solid perfume for a fresh, clean scent. You will also need beeswax and a carrier oil for your solid perfume. I used Wonder Oil as my carrier oil because it’s what I have on hand and I love how easy it is to use.
How to make solid perfume last longer
If you’re wondering how to make solid perfume last longer, you should keep it somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight. Make sure the container stays covered at all times. It should last for months this way provided you take care of it. Melting and getting solid again will cause the scent to dissipate more quickly than if it remained solid and covered.
Materials
- Organic Beeswax Pastilles
- Essential oils or your favorite designer perfume
- Wonder Oil or another carrier oil
- Little container with a lid to hold your perfume
How to make solid perfume from liquid perfume
- Place a tablespoon of Organic Beeswax Pastilles in a small glass bowl.
- Place the bowl in the top of a double boiler and bring the water to a boil. Stir the beeswax gently with a wooden craft stick until it’s melted.
- Remove it from the heat.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of your Wonder Oil.
- Stir in about 8-10 drops of your fragrance. How much it takes depends on how strong your fragrance is and how strong you like your perfume. Experiment until you find the perfect amount for your scent.
- Pour it into a little container with a lid and let it sit until it turns solid.
You can make as many or as few of these as you would like. Vary the containers depending on the type of scent you’re making and who you are giving it to.
How do you use solid perfume?
Once the perfume has returned to solid form, just rub your finger over the top and apply it to your scent points. This could be your wrists, behind your ears or at the base of your neck. During the summer, why not try a bit behind each knee? If you prefer, you can always use a cotton swab instead of your finger.
Essential oil crafts
If you love essential oils and want to use them when you craft, you might want to try these essential oil crafts. And, if you’re new to essential oils, I recommend that you pick up an essential oil book. That way you will learn about which scents work best and what projects you can create.
More perfume crafts
If you love perfume as much as I do, you might want to make a perfume tray to hold all of your scents. You won’t believe how easy it is to make. Why not learn how to make a body spray. This spray uses essential oils.
