Most importantly, it is personalized on a budget. So instead of giving up an arm and a leg just to enjoy a custom fragrance that is gone before the summer is out, the DIY solid perfume is a fun home project that ensures people don't break the bank while enjoying a one-of-a-kind scent. With the help of Kirbie Johnson of Popsugar, the DIY solid perfume is an easy concoction that requires only a few ingredients: beeswax, jojoba oil and a few [essential oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/madagascar-vanilla-perfume-oil) of the do-it-yourselfer's choice. Once the scent is mixed together, the [beeswax and jojoba oil](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scentmatch) is melted and then rehardened with the fragrant mixture to create the DIY solid perfume. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [DIY](https://www.trendhunter.com/diy) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Personalized Fragrance:** Creating DIY solid perfumes allows individuals to personalize their own unique fragrance on a budget. - **Homemade Beauty Products:** The trend of making DIY solid perfumes taps into the larger movement of creating homemade beauty products. - **Sustainable Fragrance:** DIY solid perfumes promote sustainability by encouraging the use of natural ingredients and reducing plastic waste from traditional perfume packaging. ### Where This Applies - **Beauty and Personal Care:** The DIY solid perfume trend presents an opportunity for beauty and personal care brands to offer customizable fragrance options. - **Home DIY:** The growing popularity of DIY solid perfumes opens up opportunities for home DIY and craft industries to provide ingredients and resources for making homemade fragrances. - **Sustainable Packaging:** As the demand for eco-friendly alternatives increases, the sustainable packaging industry can explore options for packaging DIY solid perfumes in reusable or compostable materials. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Solid Perfume Gels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-ddict.md) - [Slow-Release Solid Perfumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exclusive-solid-perfumes.md) - [Luxurious Solid Perfume Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solid-perfume1.md) - [Swipe-On Perfume Sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perfume-stick.md) - [Skin-Caring Fragrance Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-anywhere-fragrance-by-noyz.md) - [Inaugural Anniversary Solid Perfumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/byredo-mojave-ghost.md) - [Jelly Perfume Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jelly-perfume-balm.md) - [Perfumable Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perfumable-jewelry.md) - [Fragrant Flame-Free Wax Melts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scentmatch.md)
