How to Make Homemade Oil Based Perfume

Homemade perfume makes a great gift

Making your own homemade perfume is fun and easy. You can use one single fragrance or blend several of your favorites to create a signature blend that is all your own. Original design perfume makes a great gift.

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2 teaspoons of jojoba or almond oil
• 8-12 drops of essential oil
• small, pretty bottle

1. Step 1
   
   Essential oils available on-line

   To create a signature blend perfume, simply choose 2 or 3 of your favorite essential oils whose fragrances compliment each other.

2. Step 2
   
   Start with 2 teaspoons of your carrier oil

   Into your pretty bottle, pour about 2 teaspoons of "carrier oil". Jojoba or almond oil are most commonly used because they are light on the skin and do not have a strong fragrance of their own.

3. Step 3
   
   Bottles can be purchased with dropper caps

   Using an eye dropper or pipette that you designate ONLY for this use, add 3 or 4 drops of each of the essential oils that you have chosen for your blend. If you've chosen to make a single fragrance perfume, add 8 to 10 drops of that single essential oil.

4. Step 4
   
   Let sit for 24 hours before using

   Put the cap on the bottle and shake GENTLY to mix the oils.
   Label and let sit for 24 hours before using.
