Making your own perfume is such an awesome thing to do – its personalised, more affordable and avoids nasty chemicals. I really love the smell of the natural perfume that i’m sharing in this video, and it’s so simple to make! I am obviously not a professional perfume maker – this just covers the basics of making your own perfume, and it works well for me 🙂

My Homemade Perfume;
– 30ml pure vodka -need about ~90drops essential oils to make 15%
– 2/3 tsp homemade vanilla extract = 55drops
– 12 drops frankincense http://www.iherb.com/aura-cacia-100-pure-essential-oil-frankincense-meditative-5-fl-oz-15-ml/6299?rcode=gow915
– 4 drops vetiver
– 12 drops lavender http://www.iherb.com/now-foods-essential-oils-lavender-1-fl-oz-30-ml/37823?rcode=gow915
– 6 drops tangerine

Things to note;
– Use dark /not transparent bottle to keep perfume from going rancid over time or store in place that isn’t exposed to sunlight
– Make sure your lid is firmly attached to prevent oxidation
– The purer the alcohol for the base the better
– Test a little of essential oils on skin first to ensure no reaction.
– Mix in glass avoid metal or plastic.
– Add base oils then mid notes then high notes
– Bottle and leave for a few weeks to blend together before using

For perfume use; 15% essential oil. 1ml =about 20drops. So for 10ml base alcohol/oil = 1.5ml and 1.5×20 = 30 drops essential oil
