/u/acleverpseudonym has his own perfume line. Although sometimes he is a little shy about calling himself a perfumer! You can check out his line here

In terms of making your own, if you are looking for some legitimate formulas to begin with you can check out this site.

If you are looking for a book on how to get started then you can check out Mandy Aftel's book Essence and Alchemy: A Natural History of Perfume. Although her book is about natural fragrances the same idea can be extended to aroma chemicals.

We also have a fragrance DIY subreddit on here /r/DIYfragrance/.

If you have specific questions do not hesitate to ask, either on here on in the DIY forum, there are more than a few people around that will reply

On the heels of this excellent response, I would also recommend Essence & Alchemy by Mandy Aftel of Aftelier Perfumes. A really excellent introductory work on blending natural oils and absolutes.
