How to Plan a Make-Your-Own Perfume Fragrance Station

Written By Mya Medjes

An Elegant, Hands-On Party Experience for Kids, Tweens, Teens, and Adults in Chicagoland

A Make-Your-Own Perfume Fragrance Station is one of the hottest interactive trends. Perfect for birthday parties, Bat Mitzvahs, Sweet Sixteens, girls’ nights, bridal showers, weddings, workshops, and adult events, this fragrance bar experience lets guests craft their own signature scent — and take home a custom bottle as a luxe favor.

Here’s how to plan a scent-sational perfume fragrance station your guests will adore.

Step 1: Set the Scene

  • Tiered display trays for essential oils, carrier oil, and droppers

  • Crystal spray bottles or mini roll-on vials

  • A famed sign that says “Create Your Own Perfume” and another sign with instructions that include a scent note guide

  • Satin runners, florals, or a mirror tray to elevate the setup

Step 2: Curate the Fragrance Bar

Offer a variety of fragrance notes so guests can build their perfect blend:

  • Top Notes (first impression): citrus, mint, bergamot, apple

  • Middle Notes (heart of the scent): lavender, rose, jasmine, peach

  • Base Notes (long-lasting): vanilla, amber, musk, sandalwood

Provide scent cards so guests can test as they build.

Step 3: Provide Bottles, Stickers, Droppers, Carrier Oil

Check to see if the essential oils you purchased come with built-in droppers. If not, be sure to provide separate droppers for each oil or scent. Each guest should receive:

  • A crystal spray bottle or mini roll-on vial

  • A dropper

  • A carrier oil, such as jojoba oil, to dilute the essential oils (15-20% essential oils to 80-85% carrier oil)

  • A blank sticker label or one customized in advance with the event logo

  • Optional: mini bows, charms, gem stickers, or rhinestones for decorating

Pro tip: Have a “Fragrance Formula” worksheet so guests can jot down their blend!
