How To Make Perfume by DyshApp: 6:21pm On Jan 16, 2023
Why spend a fortune on perfume or cologne when you can make your own for cheap? Brand name perfume/cologne are costly why spend that much when you can create your own fragrance with vodka and essential oils?

Instead of wearing a fragrance that everyone else wears, you can make your own unique blend. Your own aromatic creations also make a thoughtful gift.

Step 1: What You Need to know

Ingredients:

* Vodka (the higher percentage of alcohol, the better) or Everclear if you can get it

* Essential oils*, fragrance oils**, infused oils, even flavour*** extracts (make sure it's pure) such as vanilla extract
distilled or spring water

* glycerine (this can be found in pharmacies)

You can also make your own perfume oil.

**Fragrance oils are synthetic and are less expensive than essential oils.

***Quite a few perfumes use food flavours in them, so extracts are an easy way of incorporating them into your own creations.
Sterilize the bottles and jars in the dishwasher, especially if you are reusing bottles. They need to be clean and sterile.

Step 3: Add the Alcohol

Measure 1/4 cup of vodka/Everclear and pour into jar.
This is where the magic begins...

Add approximately 25 drops of essential/fragrance oil.

* write down the oil and the number of drops Take the next scent and repeat as above until you have added the approximate number of drops. Feel free to add more or less to create the desired fragrance.

If you are just starting out and don't know which scents to try. You can divide the alcohol into smaller volumes and try different combinations, experiment, be creative, and have fun with it.

Once you are happy with the fragrance that you've created, it is time to let it age. Place it in a cool dark location for a minimum of 48 hours, up to a month.

Now that the fragrance is ready, it needs to be diluted.

• Add 2 tablespoons of distilled/spring water. If you are making a perfume spray, add more water.

• Add approximately 5 drops of glycerine; this helps preserve the fragrance
