handmade perfume

this was christmas present for my dear friend and my babies' godmother...





my first handmade perfume, or rather eau de toilette, because it is quite light. there are quite a number of ways to make perfume. some calls for alcohol which i am not so fancy about. to make this light perfume, i used:

5 drops vanilla fragrance oil
4 drops rosewood essential oil
3 drops peppermint essential oil
12 drops essential oil solubilizer
20ml distilled water

mix the oils and solubilizer thoroughly in a glass beaker before diluting it with the distilled water. shake to combine. then i let it stand for a while. if a thin layer of bubbles appear on top of the perfume after it has well settled, discard the bubbles with a small spoon.

i named it "The Enchanted Woods". it has a sweet, woody and refreshing scent.
