How to make vanilla scented perfume at home:

Methods:
•Test the scent of the liquid on your skin. Even if the vanilla essence smells and looks right, it’s important to test it out before you make the perfume oil. Dab a small amount of the liquid on the inside of your wrist, and allow it to dry for 5 to 10 seconds. Smell it, and if you’re happy with the scent, you can mix up the perfume oil.If the vanilla fragrance isn’t strong enough when you test it on your skin, leave the mixture to steep for longer.

• Stretch nylon stocking or cheesecloth over a glass jar. Find a clean glass jar that you want to store your perfume in, and place a piece of nylon stocking or cheesecloth over the opening. Make sure the nylon or cheesecloth piece is long enough to hang over the sides, so you can secure the fabric with a rubber band or piece of string.Make sure sure that the jar or container you choose for your perfume has a lid for airtight storage.

• Strain the vanilla essence through the material. When the nylon or cheesecloth is secured over the top of the jar, pour the vanilla and vodka mixture through the fabric. That will catch any vanilla bean residue or particles to strain them from the vanilla essence.You can save the leftover vanilla residue and use it for more perfume in the future. Store it in an airtight jar, and add some fresh vanilla bean paste and shells to it when you’re ready to make a new batch.

How to try a perfume

How to try a perfume: • Try a fragrance quiz. Sometimes, visiting the perfume counter can be overwhelming. To help you narrow down what you might like, try taking an online fragrance-finder quiz. That way, you'll have a place to start when you get to the store. You can find a fragrance quiz by doing a simple search, but many major perfume websites also have them. You can also test out samples that come in magazines or ask people you know what their scent is if you like it. • Skip applying fragrances before you go shopping. 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 your own fruit lip balm using essential oils: • Put together a double boiler. Fill a saucepan with 1 to 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08 centimeters) of water, then put a heat-safe bowl on top. Make sure that the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water. • Add the coconut oil and beeswax (if desired) into the bowl. The beeswax will help give the lip balm a firmer texture and make it less gooey. If you end up using the beeswax, try to get it in flake or pellet form. This will help it melt quicker and easier. If you can't get beeswax in either form, shave it using a cheese grater. • Heat the coconut oil and beeswax over medium-high heat until they melt. Stir them from time to time. This will ensure that they melt evenly. Both ingredients will turn clear once they melt. • Remove the bowl from the saucepan, and stir in the vitamin E oil.
