▼DIY Hair Perfume: How to Make Your Own "Wild Rose" Scent (Gisou Dupe)
If you're a beauty lover, you've definitely seen the iconic Honey Infused Hair Perfume taking over TikTok. Specifically, the new "Wild Rose" edition has become the obsession of the year. It smells like a warm, confident rose garden drizzled in honey.
But with a price tag of $44 for a 50ml bottle, it is a luxury splurge. Good news: You can recreate that exact romantic scent at home. Plus, our DIY version is alcohol-free, meaning it won't dry out your strands!
Capture the scent of wild roses and golden nectar without the luxury markup.
The Math: Store-Bought vs. DIY
Why pay more when you can make more? Let's break down the cost per bottle:
Store Brand
$44.00 / 50ml
Contains Alcohol & Water
HIQILI DIY
~$4.50 / 50ml
Contains Nourishing Oils
The Verdict: For the price of one brand-name bottle, you can make ten bottles of your own custom hair perfume to gift to friends!
Why Alcohol-Free is Better for Hair
Flip over the box of that $44 luxury hair perfume, and look at the first ingredient. It is almost always Alcohol Denat. (SD Alcohol 40-B).
While alcohol helps the scent project, it strips moisture from your strands with every spray. Our DIY recipe swaps the drying alcohol for a base of Jojoba Oil (or Argan Oil). These lightweight oils mimic your hair's natural sebum, locking in moisture and adding shine while delivering the scent.
The "Golden Recipe" Ingredients
To recreate the viral "Wild Rose" vibe, you only need 3 things:
- 1. The Carrier: Jojoba Oil (for shine) or Distilled Water + Polysorbate 20 (for a lighter mist).
- 2. The Scent: HIQILI Honey Fragrance Oil is the core sweetness.
- 3. The Vessel: A 50ml glass spray bottle.
2 Viral Scent Recipes to Try
Depending on your mood, you can recreate the romantic "Wild Rose" or the calming "Lavender Berry" using HIQILI oils.
| Recipe Name | HIQILI Oil Blend (Ratio) | Vibe |
|---|---|---|
| The "Wild Rose" Dupe | • 12 drops Honey • 10 drops Rose • 4 drops Vanilla |
Romantic, Confident, Warm. The vanilla adds a creamy base to the sharp rose and sweet honey. |
| The "Lavender Berry" | • 12 drops Honey • 8 drops Lavender • 4 drops Passion Fruit |
Calming, Fruity, Sweet. The "Passion Fruit" perfectly mimics the tart blackberry note. |
*Ratios are for a 50ml bottle. Adjust to your preference!
Step-by-Step Tutorial (50ml Bottle)
Here is how to mix your own Alcohol-Free Hair Perfume Oil:
How to Apply for Maximum Shine
Since this recipe is oil-based, a little goes a long way!
- The "Mid-Length" Method: Spray 2 pumps into your palms, rub them together to warm the oil, and run your hands through the mid-lengths and ends.
- The "Brush" Trick: Spray directly onto your hairbrush before styling to distribute the scent evenly without weighing hair down.
- For Curls: Scrunch a small amount into damp hair to lock in moisture and scent.
FAQs
Oil and water don't mix naturally. If you use water, you MUST add a solubilizer (like Polysorbate 20) or shake the bottle aggressively before every spray. We prefer Jojoba Oil because it doubles as a hair treatment.
Not at all! When you mix Rose with Honey and Vanilla, it becomes a modern, sweet, and warm floral—not powdery or dated.
Absolutely. Because it is alcohol-free, it is actually safer for colored hair than most store-bought perfumes, which can fade color over time.
Ready to Smell Expensive for Less?
Stop overpaying for brand names. With HIQILI oils, you can create a custom, hair-loving perfume that smells just as luxurious as the $44 bottle.
