Why 26 DIY Perfume Formulas

There was no good book to learn how to make perfumes. De Hekserij thought that something had to be done about that and so we developed and published a book ourselves. From the authors: this is the book we wanted when we started. They had to walk the difficult path, the next generation of perfume makers already has one basic book with 26 DIY Perfume Formulas.

With 26 perfumes there is one for all the letters of the alphabet: clear, but extensive enough.

What

The book 26 DIY Perfume Formulas is a book with 26 formulas ('recipes') for perfumes. The formulas are kept simple, but the perfumes are well and extensively tested. With only 28 different fragrances, all 26 formulas can be made. This makes it easy and affordable for many people. Beginners can work on their experience. Advanced users can adjust the formulas to taste or use them purely for inspiration. Perfume lovers can learn a little about the art of perfume composition without mixing anything.

How

In 80 pages, the reader will find 26 elaborated and tested formulas. From Atom to Zephyranthes, each formula illustrated with a letter of the alphabet. In addition, general instructions, a description of the fragrances and an explanation of terms. The book is unique, but for those who want to read further, there is a concise bibliography of related books. It is a good start in perfume making, it gives direction and prevents you from getting lost in the enormous possibilities that perfume making offers you.

More

We have developed four sets for the book: a small and a large set of fragrances and a small and a large set of tools. You can get started right away with these. The small sets are sufficient for making 6 of the 26 perfumes, with the large set all 26 perfumes can be made. The only thing you need besides these sets is an alcohol base such as our product Cosmetic hair water.
