Okay, so, I’ve been wanting to try making my own perfume for a while now, and I finally took the plunge! I decided to go with a “Black Cherry Merlot” scent because, honestly, it just sounded delicious and sophisticated. Plus, I’m a sucker for anything cherry-scented.
First off, I did some digging around to figure out what kind of scents go into a black cherry merlot perfume. I found out that it’s all about that fruity, slightly tart cherry smell, but with some warm and cozy notes like almond, vanilla, or even cinnamon. Sounds good, right?
I gathered my ingredients. I got some black cherry fragrance oil, which is the star of the show. Then, I picked up some perfumer’s alcohol – you can’t just use any old alcohol, you know! And because I wanted to add a little something extra, I grabbed some vanilla and almond essential oils.
Mixing everything was the fun part. I started with the perfumer’s alcohol in a little glass bottle. Then, I carefully added drops of the black cherry fragrance oil. I kept sniffing and adding until it smelled just right – like a juicy, ripe cherry. After that, I put in a few drops of vanilla and almond oil. I didn’t want to overdo it, just a hint of warmth and sweetness.
Once I was happy with the scent, I sealed the bottle and gave it a good shake. You gotta let it sit for a while, I hear, so all the scents can blend together. It’s like making a good stew, you know? Patience is key.
- The waiting was the hardest part! But after a couple of weeks, I finally tried my homemade perfume.
- And let me tell you, it smelled amazing! It was definitely cherry, but not too sweet.
- The vanilla and almond gave it this nice, warm undertone.
- I felt so fancy wearing it.

Honestly, making my own perfume was way easier than I thought it would be. And it’s so much more personal than just buying something from the store. I’m already thinking about what scent I want to try next. Maybe something with a little bit of spice? If you’re thinking about trying it, I say go for it! It’s a fun little project, and you end up with a unique scent that’s all your own.
