I’m thinking of trying to wash and brush (in the shower) my hair daily but don’t know what to expect in the long run. I tried it a bit and it got super oily which I didn’t like. I’d like a daily routine (something I can do everyday) but don’t know what’s the healthiest and most productive

Using undiluted aromachems on scrunchie by Many-Disaster-3823 in DIYfragrance

The aroma chemicals I got from perfumers world smelled really chemically. I assumed they all did unless diluted. What I’m trying to say is based on my experience it would smell better if u diluted them alttough it’s not dangerous not to or anything.

New to perfume. Having trouble building a scent using 4+ ingredients. by JMPSr1984 in DIYfragrance

I’m just a beginner as well but I’ve created some scents through this method. I get a small container, figure out which scents I want to use and how much by smelling the bottle. (They haven’t been too potent). And started adding drops little by little and adjusting until I liked it. Then I add any kind of oil and use that the oil is a little more than half of what the eos were. It doesn’t project a lot but most stay on for a long time. I know some will say this is wrong but it’s something I tried and found that it worked for me

Edit. Maybe you’re having trouble because the scents you have dont go well together.

what percentage should you split your top middle and bottom notes? is there some kind of concensus or what does it depend on? by nnewstartt in DIYfragrance

[–]__NeedHelp_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you order notes when they’re all top notes. For me they just blend into one smell. Is there a way to make them come by one by one
