You can control the strength of the final blend of essential oils by varying the proportion of essential oils to the base. Use less of heavier scented oils such as patchouli, sandalwood, rose or vanilla and more of citrus scented oils. After the oils have had time to mellow, you can always add more fragrance or essential oils to the blend. The following proportions assume you are using no more than 30-40 drops of fragrance or essential oils.

- Perfume blends: After selecting the essential oil or fragrance oils you want in your perfume, blend them and add 1/8 ounce of 100 proof vodka to the mixture.
- Eau de Parfum: After selecting the essential oil or fragrance oils you want in your eau de parfum, blend them and add 1/4 ounce of 100 proof vodka to the mixture.
- Eau de Toilette: After selecting the essential oil or fragrance oils you want in your eau de toilette, blend them and add 1/2 ounce of 100 proof vodka to the mixture.
- Sweet Waters: In a four-ounce glass bottle, blend your favorite oils and add one ounce of 100-proof vodka to the mixture. Fill the rest of the bottle with distilled water. Shake and allow to mellow for two weeks. Stir with a glass rod or gently swirl the contents every day.
- Perfume Oil: Jojoba is a liquid wax rather than an oil. It disappears into the skin after application and does not become rancid over time, making it a perfect base for perfume oils. To make your perfume oil, follow the general instructions for making perfume but substitute jojoba oil in place of the vodka.
