Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 some info I have:Theresa Loe gardens and writes from her southern California home. She is author of The Herbal Home Companion A standard perfume — the kind you’d purchase at your favorite department store — usually contains about 15 to 30 percent aromatic oils diluted with alcohol and dispersants. A perfume oil uses a carrier oil rather than alcohol. The carrier oil shows the evaporation process, and the resulting mixture holds its fragrance longer than an average perfume.Jojoba oil is an excellent carrier oil because it is actually a liquid wax. It does not go rancid as quickly as other oils. Jojoba oil has little or no fragrance of its own and is readily absorbed into the skin. Sweet almond oil and apricot kernel oil are good choices for the same reasons, but they have a shelf life of only three to five months. If you use one of these two oils, make small batches that can be used within that time frame.Garden Delight Perfume OilMakes about 1 teaspoon18 drops grapefruit essential oil 12 drops lavender essential oil 4 drops vanilla absolute 60 drops jojoba or sweet almond oil In a 1/8-ounce glass container, combine grapefruit and lavender essential oils and vanilla absolute. Shake well and let mixture sit for at least 1 week before adding jojoba or sweet almond oil. Dab the oil on your pulse points to release scent. Store in a glass container (plastic will absorb some of the fragrance).Orange Delight variation: Use 8 drops sweet orange essential oil and 16 drops bergamot essential oil instead of the grapefruits, lavender and vanilla.Becky The trouble with being early is that no one is ever there to appreciate it.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Spring Rain Solid Perfume Makes about 1 1/2 ounces Solid perfume is simple to make, travels well and has great staying power when worn. It looks similar to lip balm and can be stored in a metal lip balm canister, a recycled pillbox or a small jar. Just be sure not to accidentally use it on your lips. 15 drops lavender essential oil 8 drops oakmoss essential oil 5 drops neroli essential oil 4 drops rosemary essential oil 2 tablespoons jojoba or sweet almond oil 2 tablespoons grated beeswax or beeswax beads In a small double boiler, heat all oils together until just warm. Stir well until completely blended. Stir in beeswax. Continue to stir until completely melted. Pour into small glass, metal or plastic containers. Let perfume cool completely. To use, rub finger over surface of perfume and then onto your pulse points or wherever you like to wear fragrance. Lavender variation: Use 25 drops lavender essential oil instead of the others. The resulting perfume is very relaxing and especially soothing if you have a headache. Becky The trouble with being early is that no one is ever there to appreciate it.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 There are different ways of making perfume. One wayis to usually take 2 cups of distilled water, 3 tablespoons vodka, and a combination of essential oils that I think would be nice. Combine the ingredients in a dark glass bottle, shake well, and let set for 12 hours before use. Some combinations for the essential oils are, 5 drops sandalwood 10 drops bergamot 10 drops cassis .................................. 5 drops lavender 10 drops chamomile 10 drops valerian .................................... 5 drops everlasting 10 drops peony 10 drops sandalwood ...................................... Another perfume I make is a combination of: 4 drops sandalwood 4 drops musk 3 drops frankincense and 2 teaspoons jojoba oil Combine and mix well and let set for a few days before using. all these recipes from www.pioneerthinking.com Nice site for a lot of things. Check it out. Becky The trouble with being early is that no one is ever there to appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is much better to use essential oils as perfumes rather than toxic substances in most perfume products. No, it doesn't mean the whole program won't work because of a drop of perfume. No, it doesn't feed candida, but it adds to the toxic overload your body already has. The best, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
