How to Make DIY Perfumes with Ingredients and Instructions

Recipe to create a perfect perfume:
Since it is the first time I was creating a perfume, I decided to take the easiest route and use flower petals and essential oils.

Ingredients:
*  2 tbsps carrier oil like sweet almond, coconut, or jojoba

*  6 tbsps 100-proof alcohol

*  2.5 tbsps bottled water

*  30 drops essential oils, i.e. 9 drops         top notes, 15 drops middle notes, and six  drops base notes

*  A coffee filter

*  Small funnel

*  Two clean dark-glass bottles with airtight lids

Instructions:
*  Pour the carrier oil into the bottle of your  choice and add base, middle, and top notes. Fill alcohol.

*  Secure the lid, and let it sit for 48 hours. The longer you leave it, the stronger it gets.

* Once you’re satisfied, add the bottled water.

* Transfer the perfume to other bottle using a coffee filter.


Enjoy your new fragrance!

When you go to the store, you want a blank canvas, so to speak. Skip putting on any perfume that morning so it won't compete. Also, skip other items you use with strong scents, such as lotions and body washes. • Spray it on a card. The first step to testing a perfume is spraying it on a card. Smell it when you first spray it, but also try smelling it again in about 5 minutes, once it's had time to dry and settle. If you like it both times, you

How to make perfume for soft toys: Methods: • Place small or large bowl(s) onto a surface that you don't mind getting wet. Don't worry! If you do spill a bit of water, it's okay! You or your parents can dry it up using a towel or washcloth. • Fill the bowls up with clean water carefully to avoid a wet mess. • Find four or more of any kind of flowers to make your scent with. Make sure that they don't have any dry brown spots, and that they don't have any bugs or bug eggs on them. • Put the flowers into the bowl(s) and gently stir them around using a spoon. Be careful not to damage the flowers, as you do not want any tiny pieces of flowers stuck inside of your perfume bottle - they can clog the nozzle. • Look into the water to see if the flower water may be turning a color that is the color of the flowers inside of it.
