If you want to become the designer of your
own fragrance, you can try and see as that making perfume is easier than bake.
In addition, baking needs exact temperature
to avoid the risk of raw crust, loose cream, and making perfume just needs to
follow formula, with less or more material, the final product is still perfume;
maybe the new fragrance is more attractive.
Make perfume from available essential oils
It is not difficult for you to buy
essential oils of rose, grapefruit, lavender from cosmetic stores specialize in
aromatic spices to make them your own perfume.
Secret of perfume depends on the mixing
ratio of aromatic oils, alcohol and distilled water (do not replace it with tap
water or mineral water). Each mixing way has different fragrance, and the
amount of essential oils is very important.

Besides, the white wine is not always same
mild-strong, the fragrance changes too. The basic procedure of making perfume
is the mixture of any aromatic essential oils.
Direction: Pour the essential oils (at the
rate you want) into white wine slowly while stirring and put in cool place for
48 hours. Then mix one part of distilled water, stirring slowly again until it completely
mix together.
Perfume is like premium wine, it needs time
to reach perfection. Put the new perfume in a cool, dark place for at least
three weeks. After that, filter it through a coffee filter until it is pure.
Put
perfume in dark glass bottles
Each time you make perfume, try to change
the ratio, and you will have different fragrance. Enjoy this change. Just 1
more drop of oil, you can rename the new product.
Distill from fresh flowers
To do this way, you need some advice from
those have experience to buy a classic distilling flask such as glass pot with
cooling pipe.
Give 200g of materials (rose, grapefruit,
or lily...) and 600ml of distilled water into 2000ml-distilling flask. Boil it,
and pipe will take the liquid oil condense at own pot. Essential oil taken is
used as perfume or mixed with water to bath or wash hair.
Cook perfume
This way is indeed simpler than making
cookies.
Give 1.5 cup of torn flowers (rose,
grapefruit, or lily...) into pot. Pour into 3 cups of water, cover and boil
with low fire until only a few spoons left. Filter them through cloth to be
pure. This way is similar with infusion. Perfume taken can be used in 4-6
weeks. You can create, combine many kinds of flowers and sweet-smelling herbs
together as lemongrass + lemon leaf + grapefruit flower…
Wish you have a nice time in your kitchen.
