Invent Your Scent
The following recipes are a great
way for you to get started, but we are sure that you will want
to create your own scents to suit your unique personality. Have
fun and don't be afraid to experiment!
When you are experimenting with
essential oils, make sure to understand the potency and/or health
risks some oils can cause if not used properly. When in doubt,
ask a professional aroma therapist/herbalist or at the health
food store for more information.
What to use in place of:
Fragrance oils may be used in
place of the essential oils for a cheaper version.
Cover your work area with a plastic sheet. Essential oils and
fragrance oils may damage surfaces.
A good fragrance formula should consist of 75% dilutants such
as vodka, and 25% fragrances. Glycerin is a good fixative which
can be added to formulas to help it retain its scents. |
