Basic
Perfume Recipe
This is one of the simplest recipes
for perfume making you can do at home.
Ingredients:
- 2 cup of water
- 1 cup fresh chopped flower blossoms
Directions:
In a bowl place a cheesecloth
where the edges are hanging over the bowl. Fill with 1 cup of
flower blossoms of your choice. Pour water over the flowers until
they are completely covered.
Cover and let sit overnight.
The next day using the edges of cheesecloth pull it out of the
bowl and gently squeeze the scented water into a small pot. Simmer
the water until about 1 teaspoon is left. Cool and place into
a small bottle. Making perfume this way has a shelf life of about
1 month.
Other suggestions for flowers:
Lavender, Lilac, Orange Blossoms or even Honeysuckle. Anything
that is highly fragrant works best.
