Making your own perfume is such an awesome thing to do - its personalised, more affordable and avoids nasty chemicals. I really love the smell of the natural perfume that im sharing in this video, and its so simple to make! I am obviously not a professional perfume maker - this just covers the basics of making your own perfume, and it works well for me :) \r
\r
My Homemade Perfume;\r
- 30ml pure vodka -need about ~90drops essential oils to make 15%\r
- 2/3 tsp homemade vanilla extr = 55drops\r
- 12 drops frankincense \r
- 4 drops vetiver\r
- 12 drops lavender \r
- 6 drops tangerine \r
\r
Things to note;\r
- Use dark /not transparent bottle to keep perfume from going rancid over time or store in place that isnt exposed to sunlight\r
- Make sure your lid is firmly attached to prevent oxidation\r
- The purer the alcohol for the base the better\r
- Test a little of essential oils on skin first to ensure no reion.\r
- Mix in glass avoid metal or plastic.\r
- Add base oils then mid notes then high notes\r
- Bottle and leave for a few weeks to blend together before using\r
\r
For perfume use; 15% essential oil. 1ml =about 20drops. So for 10ml base alcohol/oil = 1.5ml and 1.5x20 = 30 drops essential oil\r
