Floral Roll-On Essential Oil Perfume Recipe

Essential oil perfume is the best option when looking for a non-toxic perfume due to its purity, creating no need for added fragrance.

I love a floral-scented perfume, which is exactly why I created this floral roll-on essential oil perfume recipe! The aroma from this perfume is a sweet floral scent, but not overwhelming. It is also so easy to make your own DIY essential oil perfume recipes, just follow the simple steps I’ve provided!

Using pure essential oils that have been tested for purity is so important, that is why I always use Plant Therapy oils (not sponsored, I just really love them!). They have gone through extensive quality testing to prove how pure their oils are, you can check that out here. The essential oils bought at local stores are usually not pure and can even be toxic depending on what is added to them. Plant Therapy is typically affordable when it comes to essential oils which is a huge bonus.

This floral roll-on essential oil perfume recipe is easy and inexpensive to make, and so versatile! If you don’t love a floral-scented perfume, you could simply follow the same recipe that I have provided (the oils have been diluted properly in a carrier oil, which is very important), but put your twist on it with YOUR favorite oils! 

There are so many different essential oil blends or even single oils on the market that when combined would make a beautiful smelling perfume. As long as the oils are pure, this recipe can be diversified in any way to fit each need however, I do LOVE the scent of this exact recipe.

How to Make Floral Roll-On Essential Oil Perfume Recipe

Materials

Instructions

  • Put your dried flowers into the roller bottle, you might have to push them in with a little force depending on the size of your dried flowers.
  • Fill your roller bottle 3/4 of the way full with sweet almond oil, this is the carrier oil.
  • Add your essential oil drops
  • If there is any room left at the top, add sweet almond oil to the top of the roller bottle (leaving room to add the roller top)
  • Add your roller top and twist the lid on (Provided with the kit I linked in the ‘What You Will Need’ list).
  • Shake your perfume vigorously to allow all of the oils to blend, with the ‘Autumn Breeze’ blend I used, it took a few minutes of shaking before it was completely blended into everything. 
  • Roll on your wrist, behind your ears, or anywhere you apply perfume. I do NOT suggest using this on clothing as the oils could leave stains. 

Notes:

  • If you buy the roller bottles I linked, they come with a small funnel which makes this process much easier.

Cranberry Jam

With Thanksgiving behind us, there is an abundance of cranberries left at the grocery store. If you’re like me and like to eat seasonally, or you just enjoy cranberries in general, this naturally sweetened cranberry chia seed jam is just for you!

This recipe is so simple and easy to make. I love to use it on my homemade sourdough toast or even as a topping on oatmeal. It is so versatile and perfect for anything you like to add jam to. 

Fruit Pectin or Chia Seeds?

Many people wonder ‘do you need fruit pectin for jam?’ and the answer is NO! Chia seeds are an amazing replacement for fruit pectin in jam.

I decided to use chia seeds in this recipe because they are very easy to access, I live in a small town in the south and my local Walmart carries organic chia seeds in the baking aisle. You can also purchase them online here.  

Although you might think the chia seeds would add a weird texture, you truly don’t notice they are there. The key with using chia seeds is to allow them to expand, which is why I suggest keeping this in the fridge overnight before digging in, once the chia seeds have expanded into the liquid they turn soft and barely noticeable.

With cranberries being naturally sour, I did not add lemon to this jam. In the first test batch I did, I added lemon which intensified the sour flavor and left you with that “sour” face. Omitting the lemon allowed the jam to shine through with sweetness like jam normally does. If you don’t mind a more lemony taste, (it was very delicious, just too sour for my taste), you could easily add a small squeeze of lemon. 

Natural Sweetener:

Natural sweetener means jam with no added sugar. Although this jam will still taste sweet, it is sweetened naturally without any processed sugar. 

For this recipe, I used maple syrup because frankly, that’s all I had on hand. I like to buy fresh organic raw honey from a local farm and they have been out for a few weeks which means I have had to temporarily switch to maple syrup as my natural sweetener in recipes. However, this is not a bad thing! The jam is delicious with maple syrup and maple syrup is more easily accessible to most people since it is sold at almost every grocery store. If you’re like me and love to use honey as a sweetener, you can simply substitute maple syrup for honey in this recipe. 

If you love this jam but you are afraid cranberries will begin to disappear from the grocery store, you could easily stock up on your next shopping trip and keep them in the freezer. Freezer cranberry jam is still delicious since the cranberries are cooked then blended being frozen does not change the recipe at all. You can also can this recipe if you want! I chose to not can this because it’s a bit more of a complicated process and with cranberries being abundant right now I don’t have to worry about running out of jam for a few more weeks. 

Cranberry Jam

Ingredients:

12oz bag of cranberries

1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp Maple Syrup or Raw Honey

1 Tbsp Chia Seeds

Directions:

Pour the entire bag of cranberries into a saucepan

Mix the cranberries consistently to avoid them sticking to the bottom of the pan, if you find they are sticking you can add a splash of water however I found mixing them frequently prevented sticking. You want the cranberries to begin to “pop” and get soft, this will take about 10 minutes or so. 

Once the cranberries have softened enough to blend, transfer them to a blender. BE CAREFUL when blending hot items! Make sure your lid is on securely and release the heat from the top as needed. Blend the cranberries until they are smooth and no chunks remain. I used a high-speed blender (Vitamix) to make this easier.

Once the cranberries have been blended smooth, strain them through a fine-mesh strainer back into the saucepan. I used a rubber spatula to push the cranberries into the strainer to make the process faster.

After all the cranberries have been strained back into the pan, disregard what is in the strainer. Your mixture should be smooth at this point. 

Turning your heat to low, mix in the maple syrup, or honey, and chia seeds. Allow this to be stirred on the heat for 5 minutes until it begins to softly bubble. Turn off the heat and let your mixture cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a glass jar. 

This jam is best if it rests overnight in the fridge, or 6-8 hours in the fridge, this allows the chia seeds to expand and become soft. You might notice the jam is set up after an hour or two but the chia seeds will still be hard and unpleasant to eat until they have softened completely. 

This naturally sweetened cranberry chia seed jam will store in an airtight container for up to 1 week in the fridge.
