Azlok's Perfume Making Kit lets you blend your own signature scent at home in about 15 minutes: mix a few drops of fragrance oil with perfume-grade alcohol and a fixative, let it mature, then spray. For ₹999 you get five fragrance oils, alcohol, fixative, bottles, beakers, droppers, testing strips and gloves, so there is nothing else to buy to get started.
What's Inside the Kit
Everything you need to make several small batches is packed in one box:
- Rose Fragrance Oil — 10 ml

The kit is made in India and suited to both men and women, since the same oils can be blended in different ways.
How Perfume Is Structured
A good perfume has three layers of scent. Understanding them helps you build a blend that lasts and unfolds nicely on the skin.
- Top notes — the first, lightest smell you notice. Fresh and fruity oils like raspberry and mix fruit work well here.
- Middle (heart) notes — the main body of the scent. Rose sits beautifully in this layer.
- Base notes — deep and long-lasting. Sandalwood and vanilla anchor the perfume and hold it on the skin.
How to Make Your Perfume
Work on a clean table, put on the gloves, and keep the room ventilated. A simple starting ratio is roughly 15–20% fragrance oil, a small amount of fixative, and the rest alcohol.
- Decide your blend. Dip a testing strip in each oil, smell them together, and note which combinations you like.
- Using a dropper, add your chosen fragrance oils into a beaker — for example, a few drops of rose, one or two of vanilla, and a touch of sandalwood.
- Add a small quantity of the perfume base fixative to help the scent last longer.
- Top up with perfume-grade alcohol and swirl gently to combine.
- Pour into a 30 ml spray bottle, label it, and let it mature in a cool, dark place for one to two weeks. Maturing rounds out the fragrance.
Easy Blends to Try
- Warm floral: rose as the heart, vanilla and sandalwood as the base.
- Fresh and fruity: raspberry and mix fruit up top with a hint of vanilla.
- Soft woody: sandalwood-led with a little rose and vanilla for smoothness.
Start with fewer drops than you think you need. You can always add more, but you cannot take scent away.
Safety and Handling
These are fragrance oils and alcohol, so treat them with care:
- Keep away from open flames and heat — perfume alcohol is flammable.
- Wear the gloves and work in a ventilated space to avoid strong vapours.
- Do not ingest any component. Keep the kit away from children and pets.
- Patch-test your finished perfume on your inner arm before regular use, especially if you have sensitive skin.
- Avoid spraying near the eyes.
Buying and Storage Tips
Store the oils and finished perfumes in a cool, dark cupboard, away from sunlight and humidity, which can dull a fragrance over time. Keep bottles tightly capped and label each batch with the blend and the date so you can repeat your favourites. Azlok's kit is a tidy way to experiment because the quantities are small and beginner-friendly — ideal for a weekend project, a gift, or testing ideas before making larger batches.
FAQ
Do I need any experience to use this kit?
No. The kit includes droppers, beakers, testing strips and pre-selected fragrance oils, so a complete beginner can follow the basic steps and make a wearable perfume on the first try.
How long does the perfume last on skin?
It varies with your blend and skin type. Using more base notes like sandalwood and vanilla, along with the fixative, helps the scent hold longer. Fruity, top-note-heavy blends tend to fade faster.
Why should I let the perfume mature before using it?
Maturing for one to two weeks lets the oils, alcohol and fixative settle together, giving a smoother, more balanced fragrance than one used immediately after mixing.
Can men and women both use this kit?
Yes. The same five oils can be combined in different ratios to create lighter, fresher blends or deeper, woody ones, so it suits everyone.
Is the perfume safe for sensitive skin?
Always patch-test on your inner arm first and wait 24 hours. If you notice irritation, discontinue use. Read all labels and directions before using the product.
