Walking through the mall, a delicious scent wafts out of one store and entices you. It's not coming from the food store, but the perfume store. After a long, hard walk past over-priced perfumes you wish, desperately, that you could make some of these things yourself. Now you can. While finding the right concoction will take time, here is how to get started.Step 1
Make perfume the easy way. Place the cheesecloth, which is a cotton-like cloth, into the bottom of the bowl and let the ends hang out over the sides.
Step 2
Fill the bowl with flowers blossoms. Place the flower blossoms on top of the cheesecloth and dump the water in, making sure the flowers are completely covered. Let this sit covered overnight. Some sample flower blossoms include lavender, lilac, orange blossoms, honeysuckle, roses or anything that has a strong scent.
Step 3
Squeeze the water from the cheesecloth into a small pot, then boil the water until there is only a small amount left (about a teaspoon). Let it cool and then put it into the perfume bottle. This will only last about a month.
Step 4
Make oil-based perfume, which is the second type of perfume. Add all of the floral essential drops together. If you're only using one type of flower oil, you will want to add several drops instead of just one. On the other hand, if you are using several types of flower oils, one drop should do. You may have to experiment to find the perfect combination of oils for you. Some people like it strong, while others want the scent to be barely noticeable.
Step 5
Stir in the other ingredients. Mix the citrus-based oil, such as tangerine oil, in with the flower oil along with the jojoba oil, the vanilla extract and, if you want it, some drops of vitamin E extract.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into a bottle. Because it is oil-based, this will last longer than the other perfume, especially if you use the vitamin E extract and if you keep the lid on tightly.
Step 7
Sample the perfume before you wear it in public. You may want to smell it after it has been sitting quietly for a few hours to make sure you like the scent. If it's too strong, or not strong enough, you can modify it.
