subject: How To Create Aromatherapy Perfumes At Home [print this page] Using essential oils to make your own perfume is not only great fun, but also extremely satisfying as well. Also, these natural perfumes can help to enhance a persons good mood, drive away a bad one, help them to relax or even to provide them with some energy.
It may even make you feel glamorous, exotic, confident or utterly feminine as well. The recipes provided below are simple to make and easy to follow, and all you need to do is choose which one you want to try. If you want you could do a search to see which essential oils blend well together and try them instead. So, by following the simple instructions provided below, you will
soon be making your very own aromatherapy perfume. First, you need a base. It can either be alcohol or a carrier oil (but
the best is a mixture of the two together). The best type of alcohol to use is one which is odorless (say vodka) and mix this with Jojoba. Jojoba is particularly good, as it has a long shelf life, and once it is put on the skin, it tends to dry out and leave a wonderful scent behind. However, jojoba is one of the more expensive carrier oils, and I would suggest you experiment with one of the cheaper ones (such as almond or apricot kernel oil) instead.
Then, once you are happy with the product you are producing, you can produce the same product but with jojoba oil instead.
The equipment you will need for making aromatherapy perfume is
as follows:
1. Measuring Spoons (Any good kitchen store will have these)
2. Small Funnel (Can be purchased at any good DIY or
hardware store)
3. Small Colored Bottles (Look around your local stores or
carry out a search on the internet)
4. Dropper (not all essential oil bottles have one of these
included with them).
Now we will provide you with the instructions for producing your
first batch of aromatherapy perfume.
1. 1 teaspoon of carrier oil (Jojoba, Almond or Apricot
Kernel) and 1 teaspoon of alcohol (Vodka), and with the
small funnel, place these in the bottle.
2. Next, add the essential oils from your chosen recipe
(below you will see a number of different recipes, with
the quantities of essential oils you require for them).
You may need to get a dropper, as not all essential oil
bottles come with one, and add a drop at a time.
3. After adding each drop of essential oil to the rest of the
mixture, the bottle should be shaken (remember to put
the lid on first before shaking).
4. Once you have finished adding the last drops of essential
oil and shaken, make sure the lid is on tightly, and store
in a cool dark place for 12 days or more. However, each
day you should remember to give the bottles a shake at
least 3 times.
5. After 12 days you can begin to enjoy the aromatherapy
perfume that you have made.
