Fragrance Ingredients
Select which ingredients you would like used in your custom blend from the top, heart and base note selections below.
TOP NOTES
TOP NOTES can be sharp and fresh, light and appealing. They give the first impression of the perfume - a quick hint, short-lived, evaporating quickly, stimulating and energizing.
Choose up to FOUR ingredients only. You can choose to use only 1, 2 or 3 but no more than 4.
Insert the number of drops per chosen fragrance in the boxes provided on the right side of this table, ensuring that the TOTAL = 48 drops.

- Your total needs to add up to 48. You won't be able to submit the form if this is incorrect.

Choose up to THREE ingredients only. You can choose to use only 1 or 2 but no more than 3.
Insert the number of drops per chosen fragrance in the boxes provided on the right side of this table, ensuring that the TOTAL = 36 drops.

Insert the number of drops per chosen fragrance in the boxes provided on the right side of this table, ensuring that the TOTAL = 98 drops.

NAME YOUR CUSTOM BLEND
- What name would you like to give your perfume?
In naming your perfume be original. Consider moods, emotions, personality traits, colours, events, destinations and foreign languages.
If you wish to use a perfume name and by whom it is made please stipulate this. For example, Blush by Diana. Alternatively, only provide the name of the perfume.
As you have chosen the gift option, you may wish to include a personalized message. For example, perhaps consider explaining the significance of the perfume choice, name and/or ingredients selected.
- “A new scent should inspire you to daydream, or wear different articles of clothing, or get you in the mood for an event.” (Marian Bendeth)
