Supplies for your DIY Men’s Essential Oil Cologne

You’ll need a rugged / masculine container for your men’s cologne. Here are a few of my favorites:

10ml Essential Oil Roller Ball

If camo isn’t his style, pick up a pack of these ultra cool black rollers for your cologne. I’m obsessed with these! They are sleek and masculine.

Carrier Oil

You’ll need carrier oil to top off your rollers. You can use whatever you like but I don’t recommend using anything with a strong scent which would affect the overall smell of your cologne. I recommend fractionated coconut oil or Jojoba Oil – which is what I use.

I have used this Jojoba Oil (that I order from Amazon) and my husband loves it.

Recipes for your DIY Men’s Essential Oil Cologne

Choose from one of these six men’s essential oil cologne recipes.

Feel free to customize the blend based on your man’s likes, and what doTERRA essential oils you have on hand. There’s no rule that says you have to follow these exactly. If you aren’t a fan of a specific oil, substitute it with one you do like or simply leave it out.

Note that these recipes are roughly 80% essential oil and 20% carrier oil. You can easily make the scent lighter or stronger depending on what you like best.

To make the scent stronger, you’ll want to add more essential oil and less carrier oil.
To make the scent less strong, add less drops of each essential oil and use more carrier oil.

Tip: To see if you like the scent, make a small sample first. If you like it, make a larger batch. You can always add more oils to the mixture later.
