I recently had the opportunity to review an eBook called Aroma Success. This is a book which you read on your own computer and there's also a printed version available.The author has had her own successful business making and selling perfumes for over nine years. She gives you her wholesale sources where she can buy perfume oils for as little as 75 cents, which she resells for $8. She

A common question raised in perfume making is whether to use Fragrance Oil or Essential oil. If you've been shopping for both you will have noticed that there is a steep price difference between the two.Essential oils are, mostly, a natural product derived from flowers or plants. Fragrance oils are a blend, often synthetic, of a number of ingredients usually diluted with an oil carrier.The

Here are some of my own favorite perfume recipes. All of these use 1 cup of distilled water and 5 teaspoons of vodka or other spirit, only the fragrance oils vary.

In this post, I'm going to cover the basic how to make perfume instructions. There's no special skills involved in making perfume, just follow the procedure and you will get a great smelling fragrance.Since Perfumer's Alcohol can be hard to find in most cities, I'm going to suggest using Vodka in these recipes. As long as it's for personal use and you aren't selling the perfume, The Department of

Essential oils can be quite expensive to buy so I though I would cover how you can make many of them at home.Firstly, what is an essential oil? The formal definition for essential oil is that it is a concentrated hydrophobic liquid that contains volatile aromatic compounds from flowers and plants. In pure layman's terms it's the concentrated smelly stuff from flowers!Most essential oils are made

Before I discuss ways to make "proper" perfume here's an idea for an easy to make fragrance using only home ingredients.Take about a cup and a half of flower blossoms. You can use rose, lavender, honeysuckle or anything that has a strong fragrance. Chop them roughly and add to three cups of warm water. Leave the mixture to soak overnight and in the morning strain through cheesecloth or

Fragrances are surprisingly easy to make.You may think that from the exorbitant cost in the stores that they all contain the most expensive ingredients or involve a long drawn-out process. Nothing could be further from the truth. 95% of the money you are paying for perfume is for packaging, marketing and the retailer's profit.The difficult part of making fragrances is getting the smell that you

This blog will be used to describe how I make my own fragrances and perfumes. It's really quite easy to make your own fragrance. You can experiment and create one that matches your own personality at a fraction of the store prices.
