PERFUME RECIPES Tips Before You Begin
Start with a good base oil. Using an odorless alcohol - Vodka, or a carrier oil - Jojoba, works... but it is more ideal to mix both. Jojoba has a long shelf life and it leaves a fragrant scent behind once it dries on the skin.
Using a dark bottle with stopper, add: - 1 tsp. of your carrier oil (jojoba, almond or apricot kernel)- 1 tsp. alcohol (Vodka) (using a small funnel) into your bottle- Add essential oils from your chosen recipe (below) one drop at a time.- Shake the mixture well
after adding each drop.- Put the lid on tightly.- Store in a cool, dark place for 12 days minimum- Shake 3 times daily.
