How To Make Diffuser Oils Recipe

If you can boil water , you can make reed diffuser oils for home fragrancing. It's simple and easy and a huge savings over retail.

These measurements are in parts instead of exact measurements. We do this so you can easily increase or decrease a formula to suit your current need. To increase the size of your batch, increase the size of the measure. For instance, for a small batch, you might use ounces as you measure. For a larger batch, you might use pounds.

To begin, use:

3 parts fragrance/ essential oils to

7 parts dipropylene glycol, fragrance grade, (DPGF).

Stir or shake gently in a large non-reactive container and dispense into a UV resistant cobalt or amber bottle.

Fill your oil bottle 3/4 full of diffuser fragrance and insert reeds.

If you find the scent is not strong enough, increase the amount of fragrance oil by one part and re-mix.

50% fragrance oil to 50% DPG.

You may also mix essential oils in the same manner as fragrance oils.

15-25% essential or fragrance oils with

75-85% dipropylene glycol. For a less intense perfumed body oil, reduce the amount of scent to 10% and increase the DPG to 90% of the mix.

Here are a few fragrance oil blends to try. We've anchored some of the blends with essential oil bottom notes. You will find that the blend is more effusive and lasts longer using this bottom note technique.
