tatortot Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I've always thought of a sachet as a small bag ofherbs or potpourri. To like, make your drawers or closetsmell good. Is this what your looking for? Gina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sad72 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Not sure if this will help but I found this recipe for perfume cream (just scroll down the page for the recipe).http://bellecitysoapworks.com/homemade_perfumes.htmlBut...with the water being added you would, of course, need to use some sort of preservative. And you might already know this (but might help somebody else)...you could also just do a solid perfume by just using equal amounts of beeswax and oil of choice. Use a bit more oil for a like balm (oops..meant to say salve like) texture.Anyways, like I said, not sure if any of that helps you any.

Melly Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Maybe try a lip balm recipie with a lower amount of beeswax so it is soft and easy to dip your finger into? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simply soy Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 Thanks everyone. I just remember my grandmother buying theselittle jars from Avon and she always smelled so wonderful. And, Ireally think I could sell them to the older women around here. Theyhave said they loved buying those little jars of perfume delights.Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
