This is a helpful and beautifully illustrated book, though the images are all from Shutterstock and tend towards glossy generic ones instead of step-by-step photos of actual perfume making. It's got good information about the basics of essential oils, hydrosols and so on, and about top notes and things like that. It gives you info on how to make natural perfumes and then provides an assortment of recipes. I would have preferred lots more recipes, but it gives you all you need to start and then some.
I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review.

All-Natural Perfume Making is a tutorial and recipe guide for home perfume making written by Kristen Schuhmann. Due out 23rd March 2021 from Quarto on their becker&mayer! imprint, it's 128 pages and will be available in hardcover format.
This is a beginner friendly tutorial guide for processing and blending perfumes and scented products at home. The introduction includes a short overview of tools and supplies and some info on how to use them. The following chapters cover essential oils, absolutes, tinctures, bases, hydrosols, and other perfume related terms and concepts. The author does a good job of defining terms in layman friendly language and most readers won't have any trouble understanding what she's talking about. There's an emphasis on safety and responsible blending throughout.
Chapter 2 - Blending Basics contains one of the better explanations of perfume "notes" and how to blend them that I've seen. There are lists with top, middle, and base notes and which will coordinate best instead of clashing. The note proportion diagrams which the author has included are especially illustrative and easy to follow.
The recipes include enough variations to keep makers busy for weeks or years. Recipes include ingredients listed bullet style in a list followed by step-by-step instructions. Many of the ingredients will require specialist suppliers. The author has included a resources and links list in the appendices which will help with sourcing ingredients which are difficult to find.
The photography and graphic layout throughout the book are well done (but mostly stock photos). I also liked that the human models were diverse (representation is important) and inclusive. This would make a good selection for home hobbyists, maker's groups, and school/library activity groups (with adult supervision).
Four and a half stars.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

All-Natural Perfume Making: Fragrances to Lift your Mind, Body, And Spirit
By Kristin Schumann
Having walked through the souks and wanting to go into the perfume shops filled with hand blown perfume bottles and interesting herbs and spices has made me interested in the process of making perfumes. With many plants and flowers in my garden I hoped that this book would tell me how to make my own scents and that it would be easy to do. There are some in the village that distill rose petals and distill grapes to make high proof alcohol – both of which could be used in making perfumes. That said, I think it might be easier and safer to buy perfume from shops than to make my own for now.
What I liked:
* The illustrated list of tools needed
* Terms used with definitions for them
* Basic plants, flowers, barks, etc that can be used for scent/perfume and the impact they have on the body/emotions
* The warnings, cautions, and safety information
* The information on top, middle and base notes in perfume making
* The information on energy – scent used with crystals n specific chakras
* Recipes for specific blends
* How to make extracts – this is one item that I believe I could actually tackle without worrying that I made endanger myself or someone else ;) I have made vanilla extract in the past and might try a floral one in the future
* Reading about Bay Rum, how and why it was created, and that it is still being made today.
What I didn’t like:
* Worrying that I might use too much of an essential oil or other ingredient and end up doing more harm than good.
- Did I enjoy this book? Yes
- Is it likely that I will try making my own perfume? Maybe…but probably not. I might make extracts, though.
Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto knows – becker & mayer! For the ARC – This is my honest review.

This is a good jumping off point for at home hobbyists interested in natural perfumery. Some of the new age chapters may not interest everyone but the basics are still laid out in a sound manner, with easy to follow instructions and ingredients that are accessible to all skill levels. I felt what let this book down was the stock photography- I would have liked to have seen a more personal touch from the author instead of widely used 'wellness category' photos.

Such a lovely book! I’ve made some natural perfumes before, but not for awhile now, and because of this book I’ll probably get back to it again. Everything is clearly explained in the book, and the pictures are beautiful. It’s a great hobby to make your own perfumes, and it’s easy to get hold of all the things you need, just remember to check the prices before you decide what to make. Some essential oils are expensive.
I’m a bit scared of these herbal oil infusions, although I don’t think I should be. So, I’ll use a couple of these instructions, and I will try again. I have failed in the past. These seem straightforward and easy enough. After reading this book I believe anyone and everyone is capable of making their own natural perfumes.
I recommend this book to everyone interested in making natural perfumes. Just go for it!

The title is actually slightly misleading because this a gorgeous book is about so much more than just natural perfume making; I particularly appreciated the chapter that explains the different essential oils, and their benefits to both body and mental health. In these difficult times, there are so many essential oils that help with stress, anxiety and depression: Sweet Orange, Rose, Jasmine, Ylang Ylang, to name but a few.
In Kristen’s words: ‘this book tells you how to create natural perfumes from natural ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen, garden, or liquor cabinet, plus essential oils (though you don’t actually need them). There are recipes to play with and instructions on how to create your very own signature scent. Alcohol based, oil based, and solid perfume instructions are all there, and the mental and emotional benefits of the essential oils are discussed so you can create with your health in mind as well as your aesthetic sensibilities.’
There are inspirational recipes for blends for weight management, relaxation, antidepressant, illness prevention, digestive health, etc., and clear instructions on how to create them. Another chapter I found particularly interesting was ‘Chakra Perfumes’. I love crystals, but it had never occurred to me to combine them with essential oils.
This book is beautifully illustrated – you can smell the scents waft from the pages. It would make a thoughtful gift, either to yourself, or a loved one…

Several years ago, I read a book by M. J. Rose titled "The Book of Lost Fragrances". It was a book completely out of character for me, but I was confined in the hospital after having a stroke, and it was given to me by a kind nurse who wanted me to keep my mind active. I found it intriguing, and it ignited an interest in the science and development of perfumes. Always thought it would be fun to travel to Grasse, in France, and see how the process really works. And now the travels are on hold, due to Covid.
Then along comes this book! It has re-ignited my interest in perfume development. The book is full of interesting ideas, easily understood perfume "recipes", and is very well photographed. Until we can travel again, this book has given me the opportunity to explore my newfound interest.
I received a copy of this book as an advance reading copy from NetGalley, in exchange for a fair review. I guess the fact that I liked it so much that I ordered an actual physical copy to keep and refer tells you how much I enjoyed it, better than any words I could write!

This book was received as an ARC from Quarto Group-Becker & Mayer Books in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.
We get all of the time questions about using natural products and avoiding harsh chemicals and this book surely answered a lot of those questions. Much of our library community do not use any harsh washes, lotions, and especially perfume due to the ingredients not being healthy and good for your skin. This book will sure not only change their minds but educate them on which ingredients to use to make perfumes more natural and good for your skin and of course smell fabulous. We will sure to have quite the following for this book and can't wait to see if it was helpful and hear about the new perfumes they have made.
We will consider adding this title to our TT Non-Fiction collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

All Natural Perfume Making is a beautiful book. The photos and graphs are pretty and useful.
I already have a beginner’s knowledge base for using some essential oils for aromatherapy, and I thought maybe that would be the bulk of this book. That’s not what it is at all!
The author went to great pains to make this a fabulous introduction on different ways to make perfume. There are some very basic recipes and overviews, but really the reader is inspired to just try something. Just pick out what kind of perfume you want to try and go for it!

This book exceeded my expectation in every way! I thoroughly enjoyed the informative content which was easy to follow and understand since I have never made my own/played around with essential oils or perfumes before but have used them for years. After reading this book, I feel both confident and inspired to do so! I loved the thoughtful touches and interesting sidenotes the author added. It made the book so much more personal and delightful than just an instructional book. The author's knowledge and passion for this subject matter was evident throughout the entire book. I am more than pleased with this purchase and have already recommended it to two other people within the first day of reading it. I already know I'll be using this book frequently and look forward to hopefully more publications from this author in the future!

This book was a lovely read, I get to know a lot of about fragrances, what are they good for with a special combination, how can I make my own perfume at home. It was a really interesting read. I highly recommend for anyone who is looking to try out some perfume making, this book gives you great basics before you dive into the magical way of making your own perfumes at home.
March 11, 2021
This book has the most gorgeous pictures in it!! The book goes along with all the things you need, what type of perfume you would like, and detailed instructions on how to make things. I loved how it went through all of the popular essential oil scents and what each of them can do help you. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to begin or just learn more about perfume making!!

This is a perfect book if you want to make your own perfumes with herbs or essential oils. Easy blend recipes and detailed steps to make your own perfumes. I was surprised to see some of the suggested blends of essential oils that pair well together.
February 10, 2021
All-Natural Perfume Making by Kristen Schuhmann is a very complete guide, starting with a run down on the difference between oils, water and absolutes, the material needed for perfume making, the existing essential oils and their attributes, the basics of head note. Middle note and base note, how to make an alcohol based perfume, an oil based perfume and a solid perfume, how to make herbal extracts with cuttings from your own garden and flower water and oils and many other useful little things. And of course a good number of precise recipes for either specific goal, or a note. But the book really encourages people to try their own hand at inventing a unique scent, with good guidance of course.
The pictures are truly lovely and there is a very calming feeling to the book overall. The author is very much into aromatherapy and energy, which isn’t my thing, there is a whole chapter on scents linked to chakra points which I admit skipping, but that takes away nothing from the usefulness of the rest of the book. The explanations are very clear and simple, this is very much aimed at beginners and home hobbyists and that is exactly where I stand, so the book was perfect for me. If you know anything about making perfume then it’s probably not the right book for you, but I think many people will be happy to discover how easy and accessible the art of perfume making is.

It made me want to start making my own fragrances now. Beautiful! I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review
February 12, 2021
This book makes it all seem so simple!
I think this is a great book for beginners like me, or anyone giving more than a passing thought to essential oils and perfume making. It finally makes the distinction between essential oils, absolutes, and other names you encounter in this journey and that at first seem so many and complex.
It is very nicely organized, starting with basic ideas and components and then it offers blends ideas and information about their purpose. I liked the facts that it offers ideas for all 3 types of perfume types and other kind of products like extracts and flower waters, and it also features some information about adding flowers or crystals into the mix.
It's a lovely gift for beginners, it feels like a complete guide. Maybe people who know more about these natural essences and perfumes will not find a lot of new information here but for beginners it's a true gem!

A good, clearly explained how-to for making all-natural perfumes, either oil-based, alcohol-based, or solid. This is a great starting place for those new to or somewhat experienced in perfume making, and all the processes are explained well. Most ingredients are easily found and reasonably priced, though some essential oils can get pricey due to amount of material needed to make them (possible alternatives are suggested in these cases). The book gives many sample recipes, as well as tips on figuring out your own recipes. I especially enjoyed the part on scent notes, which included much more information than just top, middle, and base notes- I learned how to determine how I wanted my perfume to wear, and how to adjust the notes to achieve what I wanted. And I learned how to make my own vanilla extract, which can be used in cooking in addition to perfume! This book has me thinking about the essential oils I have, and plotting what I want to try. Anyone interested in making all-natural perfume needs this book!

Pretty book, but A. this is far more in the realm of aromatherapy than perfume B. some of it comes across as rather amateurish, like wrong terminology and C. I'm always kind of appalled when perfumers cheerfully encourage the unsustainable use of endangered materials like sandalwood.
Also the woo-woo chakra stuff isn't anything to do with perfumery, again, that's more the domain of some aromatherpists.
Honestly, if you want to learn about natural perfumery just go straight to Mandy Aftel.

Not upto expectation.
What I liked in this book is, it has recipes of various essential oil blends. What I didn't like is information is low.

The explanations and how-to instructions are helpful. However, as with all books, read with discernment as there is mysticism and astrology included in this book.
