trying to make perfume with essential oils...


Recommended Posts

ok so this is probably a silly question but I know that oils and water dont mix.. so if I put the essential oils into water they will just sit on the top (I know this from my first attempts at making cleaning/room spray)... so how do I get it to disperse evenly? witch hazel extract? or do I have to add alchohol?

also- when I added a little witch hazel to my essential oil/water mixture I think some kind of chemical reaction happened because it actually inverted the plastic spray bottle and seemed to mess with the plastic itself. I would like to avoid that of course...

Try an aroma therapy website. Most of them have recipes for perfumes. If you look on the left in this website they list some EO' suppliers and they tend to give up some hints. I have heard in some cases premium vodka is sometimes used because it has no scent and you have an alcohol base.
