Poeme Fragrance: Is It the Right Perfume for You?

Date:

Share:

Okay, so the other day I got it into my head that I wanted to try making my own perfume. I’ve always loved the Poeme fragrance, and I thought, “Why not try to recreate something similar?” So, I started with zero knowledge, just a passion for scent.

Poeme Fragrance: Is It the Right Perfume for You?

The Deep Dive into Research

First things first, I hit the internet. I spent hours reading articles and watching videos about perfume making. I quickly realized it’s a lot more complicated than just mixing nice-smelling stuff together. There’s a whole science to it, with top notes, middle notes, and base notes – who knew?

Gathering Supplies

Next, I needed supplies. This was a bit of a scavenger hunt. I ordered some essential oils online, things like jasmine, rose, and sandalwood, because those seemed to be common in a lot of the perfumes I like. I also grabbed some carrier oils – jojoba, in my case – and some little bottles from a craft store. It felt a bit like preparing for a science experiment.

The Mixing Begins

Then came the fun part – actually mixing the oils. I started with the base notes, which are supposed to be the longest-lasting. I added a few drops of sandalwood and vanilla to the jojoba oil. Then, I carefully added some middle notes, like rose and jasmine, trying to get a balance that smelled somewhat close to what I imagined.

  • A few drop of sandalwood
  • A few drop of vanilla
  • A few drop of rose
  • A few drop of jasmine

Trial and Error (Lots of It!)

Let me tell you, there was a LOT of trial and error. My first few attempts? Not great. One smelled like a cleaning product, and another was just way too strong. It was a bit discouraging, but I kept tweaking the ratios, adding a drop here, removing a drop there. I made sure to write everything down, so I could remember what I did for each batch.

The “Aha!” Moment

Finally, after many attempts, I created something I actually liked! It wasn’t exactly like Poeme, but it was a warm, floral, slightly spicy scent that I was proud of. It felt amazing to have gone from knowing nothing to actually making a wearable fragrance.

The Final Result

It’s not perfect, and I’m sure a professional perfumer would have some critiques, but I’m pretty happy with my homemade “Poeme-inspired” fragrance. It’s been a fun learning experience, and I’m already thinking about what scent I want to try to create next!
