How to make a 30 ml eau de parfum
- Measure. Put 6 ml of fragrance oil (20%) into a clean 30 ml glass bottle.
- Add the base. Top up with 24 ml of Universal Perfume Base. Nothing else is needed, because the fixatives are already in it.
- Shake gently for 30 seconds. Slight haziness at first usually settles.
- Rest it. Cap tightly and leave it in a cool, dark place for 2–4 weeks, shaking every few days. A freshly mixed perfume smells sharper and flatter than a rested one.
- Label it with the date, the oil and the percentage so you can repeat the ones you love.

Frequently asked questions
What is a universal perfume base?
A universal perfume base is a ready-made carrier with fixatives already blended in. You add your own fragrance oil to it to make a finished perfume. Unravel Perfumery's Universal Perfume Base does the technical half of perfume making for you: choosing fixatives, weighing small percentages and balancing them so they don't change the scent.
How much fragrance oil should I add to the base?
Use 18–22% fragrance oil for an eau de parfum, 10–15% for a lighter eau de toilette, and 25–30% for an intense extrait. For a 30 ml eau de parfum that means 6 ml of oil and 24 ml of base. Going above about 30% usually makes a perfume flatter and oilier, not stronger.
How long should I let the perfume rest?
Two to four weeks in a cool, dark place, shaking it every few days. You can wear it sooner, but it smells noticeably rounder after resting. Try it at day 3, day 10 and day 21 to smell the difference.
Can I use any fragrance oil with it?
Yes. It works with any good-quality fragrance oil, including every perfume oil in the Unravel Perfumery range. Rich, sweet oils often work best at 15–18%; fresh oils at around 20%.
Can I make roll-on perfume with it?
Yes. Roll-ons can go a little stronger, at 25–30% oil, because you apply a small, targeted amount. For sprays, use one of Unravel's 15 ml refillable atomizer bottles.
Can I sell the perfumes I make with it?
Many Unravel Perfumery customers use the base to make perfumes for their own brands. If you sell commercially in India, check the cosmetic labelling and registration rules that apply to fragrance products before you list anything.
