Ready to DIY? Here are 10 projects that you can make using your 10ml fragrance oil.

make a small wooden wick candle

• Start with a small metal tin (5oz). Use your entire 10ml sample with your favorite wax to achieve a 7% fragrance load. This is a nice size for a test candle so you can determine cold and hot throw efficacy.
• We recommend our prosecco & pink raspberries, which makes a playful, celebratory candle fragrance.

make an easy room and body spray

• Mix one 10ml fragrance oil in a 3.4 oz glass spray bottle with our organic alochol & witch hazel base which will yield approximately 10% fragrance load.
• We love our Egyptian linen & lavender buds in a room spray which has floral, musk and white wood notes balanced with fresh clean cotton and marine accords.
• Use your room spray to fresh up a bathroom, bedroom, closet or car. It's the perfect way to bring a fresh subtle aroma without a flame.

use it for aromatherapy

• Dab a few drops of fragrance oil on your wrists, in a hot bath, or add to your diffuser to enjoy the mood enhancing benefits of aromatherapy.
• Our soothing essential oil blend is a best seller and helps restore balance and soothe. It features a mix of essential oils like bergamot, geranium, bois de rose, guaiac wood, palmarosa, clove bud, rose absolute, and black currant bud absolute.

get sudsy and make handmade soap

• Add the 10ml fragrance oil to one of our melt & pour soap bases. This will give you approximately 2% fragrance load and yields 6-8 bars of soap.
• 10/10 people love our cashmere and vanilla fragrance oil. It's a true warm vanilla, elevated by woody cashmere and sweet amber, and rounded out with subtle notes of fruity citrus.

make a reed diffuser

• Add your 10ml to your favorite vessel and choose one of our diffuser bases.
• We recommend indulging with palo santo & sage, which has notes of grounding cedar wood and clove.
• Add 10 reeds to your vessel and let the aroma fill up the room.

cook up some wax tarts or melts

• Melts are one of our favorite ways to use up scrap wax which pairs perfectly with a 10ml fragrance oil.
• Use one 10ml per 4-5oz of wax for a 7% fragrance load.
• We love melts using our rose patchouli + amber which some of our makers have said makes a wonderful unisex scent.

make an easy all natural hand sanitizer

• Add 10ml to organic sugarcane alcohol, utilizing our 3.4 oz spray bottle, which will yield approximately 10% fragrance load.
• To level up your sanitizer, try this amazing scent natural rainbow eucalyptus + peppermint. One of our natural fragrances, it has a fresh, minty mixture of eucalyptus, lavender, mint, and rainbow wood.

make scent sachets

• Drop a little fragrance oil onto ceramic beads and stir until absorbed. Then, put it inside a sachet pouch and place it anywhere you want to freshen up.
• We love sage and lavender for scent sachets because it's subtle yet soothing.

practice scent blending

• If you have more than one sample 10ml, make your own delicious combo! Play around with blending fragrances until you find one that is uniquely you.
• We recommend blending your fragrances first in a small beaker or jar. Use a blotter strip to smell your new creations until you find the right balance. 
• Once you've found a combination you love, add to one of our bases like our perfumer's alcohol to make a small bottle of your signature scent!

throw a scent party

• Invite over friends and family for a “scent” party (a great idea if you have multiple scents), and let them help you choose fragrances for your products.
• Write all of your fragrances down and have them describe what each one smells like to them. This can be super valuable for your marketing and a great way to get feedback before adding a new scent to your line.
