My recipe is:

. 1 cup water
. Some rose petals (or any other scented flower) chopped up (about 2-3 flowers)
. A little rosemary (1 tsp dried)
. 1 teaspoon of vodka
. 2 teaspoons of oil (jojoba, vegetable, or almond)

Bring the water to a boil, and then put in the oil, then the roses. Once the roses are starting to lose their color and scent, pick up the pan and pour it into a cool bowl.

After when its in the cool bowl put in the vodka and rosemary. A few hours later take out all of the things you have put in and your perfume will be in that cool bowl!

Hey hey hey! I saw all these recipes and wanted to help out. I call this easy perfume Lemon Coolness. Lemon is more zingy but why this is called lemon coolness is because there is cucumber in it and it smells so good!

Ingredients:

* Some lemon extract (enough to fill the bottom of the bottle you're going to use)
* Small thin cucumber slices (about fifteen to twenty five. VERY SMALL!)
* Water
* Small bottle

Directions:

1. Put lemon extract into bottle.

2. Put cucumber into bottle.

3. Fill up with water, close bottle, and shake

When you smell it you smell the tingyness of the lemon but then you smell the coolness!

As an amateur perfumer I'm always looking for ideas and inspirations. I came across your website and thought I'd offer up my own personal secret essential oil blend.

I should tell you that my recipes are not created with any aromatherapy concepts or principles in mind rather, what my clientele and I find to be appealing.

The ingredients are given in parts rather than drops.

5 Violet (fragrance or essential oil)
4 Freesia (fragrance or essential oil)
1 Patchouli (fragrance or essential oil)

If you would like it to be more masculine add (1 - 2 drops of Cinnamon leaf essential oil)

Its a nice light floral with a solid earthy base.
