Example Formula:
96 oz base + 32 oz fragrance oil = 1 gallon finished perfume spray (25% load)
Always test each fragrance oil for solubility and IFRA compliance prior to scaling up production.

Choose options
Our Perfume base is easy to use! No additional additives are needed. We recommend up to a 25% fragrance load for perfumes. Simply add fragrance oil and stir. Wait 30 minutes and it's ready to go. **Special note: Double check category 4 on the Ifra sheet for the fragrance that you're using to make sure it's at least 25% usage. If it's lower, then you want to use that amount instead.
For example, when making a 10 oz batch, measure out 71 grams (2.5 oz) of fragrance oil and 212 grams (7.5 oz of base) and mix together.
If you're using our 100 ml Daisy perfume bottles, and using 25% fragrance load then it would be 22 grams of fragrance oil and 69 grams of base per bottle for a total of 91 grams.
If you're using our 50ml Daisy perfume bottles, and using 25% fragrance load, then it would be half the amounts, so 11 grams of fragrance oil and 35 grams of perfume base per bottle for a total of 46.
Please note: Again, always check this against the maximum usage rate for your particular fragrance oil under the IFRA guidelines, which is found on each product page. For example, if making a perfume with fragrance that only allows 10% for perfumes (category 4), then you are only able to use 10% load instead of the normal 25%. Make sure to test with different fragrances. FYI: Room sprays will be Category 10B on the IFRA doc. Body mists/sprays is Category 2 and perfume is Category 4.
Warning: Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with face, eyes and broken skin. Keep away from flame/high heat. Avoid direct contact with wood and other finished surfaces as it may cause discoloration. Always test on fabrics in unseen area.
How do you calculate the amount of fragrance oil to use?
First, you need to know what percentage of fragrance oil you want to use. The average usage is 6%.
Here is a basic formula:
(oz of wax using) x (% of fragrance oil you want to use) = (oz of fragrance oil needed)
For example, let's say you are using two pounds of wax and want to use 6% fragrance oil.
First, you'll need to calculate the number of ounces of wax you have:
2 x 16 (number of oz in 1 pound) = 32oz
Plug these numbers into your formula:
32 x 6% = 1.92oz
You can round up to 2oz for easy measuring on your scale.
Below, I created an easy fragrance load calculator where it will calculate the amount of fragrance oil needed in both ounces and grams.
