If this describes you, you’ll be happy to know that it’s not an impossible goal, making perfume to sell can be relatively easy.

Your fun hobby could be an ideal way to earn money working from home. There has always been a lot of mystery surrounding the art of making perfumes. Most major perfumers/perfume houses have trade secrets about how they compose their blends and where they get their raw materials from. However, regardless of your efforts, certain things cannot remain hidden forever, the secret always comes out sooner or later. There are various ways and methods of creating perfumes; some are quite complex and time consuming. Other methods are simpler and easier to learn; providing convenient shortcuts that can help anyone understand the nitty-gritty of perfume mixing in no time. All you need is accurate, actionable information from the right source and you’re good to go.

It’s certainly nice to know that it’s reasonably simple to figure out how to make your mixes because there are some good guides out there to help you get started. Unfortunately, along with the good you always get the bad! There are many so called ‘free perfume making tips’ floating around the world wide web. Most of these are absolutely inaccurate and could end up frustrating you and giving up. Don’t be discouraged if that has happened to you though, simple and effective perfume making techniques can be learned quite easily with access to the right information and good quality ingredients.

So what does a perfume actually contain? The two basic components of any perfume are the base and the aromatic essences mixed in it. There are three main types of perfumes, alcohol based; oil-based and solid types. The entire content of a perfume can be natural, artificial, or a combination of both.

Sourcing affordable perfume ingredients that you can buy in small quantities can also be challenging if you are new to perfume making. Most industry suppliers only deal with large orders from the big perfume houses and will not sell to independent perfumers. Even so, there are still plenty of vendors that exclusively cater to those who make smaller purchases. They are happy to sell in small quantities and at really affordable prices. Regardless, as buyers, you still need to be on the lookout for vultures who are only interested in taking your money and cheating you out of shoddy supplies.

To all the newbies out there, know this; perfume mixing is not rocket science. Learning what is in a perfume and how to combine them is one of the most exciting and fun parts of the process. Even my teenage niece is a devotee, she loves to help me when I’m working on blends and she made her mom a wonderful perfume for her birthday with no input from me. Anyone can do this, with the right information and ingredients; you can make your own perfumes and earn money working from home selling them. Composing simple mixes is a good place to start, and you’ll get more confident the more you practice, and as you become more familiar with the ingredients, your mixes will improve too.

There are several profitable niches for those interested in making perfume to sell. You may be interested in making custom perfumes, recreating designer blends, or all-natural fragrances for your clients. Whichever path you choose, all is well because the demand for perfumery products is always on the rise.
