This is pure, concentrated perfume oil and still needs to be diluted.
This can be done with perfumer’s alcohol, or alcohol-free with a carrier oil such as jojoba or fractionated coconut oil.

Example:
To make 50 ml of eau de toilette, use 2.5 to 5 ml of the fragrance concentrate and add 45 to 47.5 ml of perfumer’s alcohol or jojoba oil.

As a hobby perfumer, you can customize Blush de Lune – Inspired by Miss Dior (Dior) to subtly personalize the fragrance profile or give it a bold twist.

Some practical and creative suggestions:

 

1. Enhance top notes (fresh & sparkling)

• Citral or Citronellal – enhances citrus opening
• Linalool – floral-fresh, softens the peppery opening
• Pink pepper essential oil – for a spicier, spicy nuance

2. Deepening heart notes (floral & romantic)

• Rose absolute or Rose de Mai – for a richer rose experience
• Hedione – transparent jasmine-like freshness
• Peony accord (e.g. Methyl diantilis + Florol or peony base) – enhances peony feeling

3. Enrich the base (warm & elegant)

• Iso E Super – velvety soft wood, boost diffusion
• Cashmeran – musky, woody, slightly spicy
• Ambrettolide or Galaxolide – clean musk for a modern finish
• Coumarin – enhances tonka bean with a soft almond-like undertone

Sample formula (50 ml Eau de Parfum)

• 5 ml Blush de Lune dupe
• 0.3 ml Hedione
• 0.2 ml Rose absolute
• 0.3 ml Iso E Super
• 0.2 ml Ambrettolide
• Add 44 ml of perfumer’s alcohol or carrier oil

Allow the mixture to mature for at least 1–2 weeks for optimal fragrance development.

 

💡 Creative variations

• Add raspberry or lychee for a fruity, youthful twist
• Use iris root or perfume oil powder for a powdery, luxurious finish
• Combine with violet leaf for a green-floral nuance
• Add a touch of vanilla or heliotrope base for extra smoothness

This way, you can turn Blush de Lune into a fragrance that is not only inspired by Miss Dior, but also bears your unique signature.
