Here is a basic recipe for creating a natural perfume.

Natural Perfume Recipes

2 cups distilled water

3 tablespoons vodka – or a tincture that you made with vodka

5 drops of an essential oil or fragrant tincture of your choice

10 drops of an essential oil or fragrant tincture of your choice

10 drops of an essential oil or fragrant tincture of your choice

Before you begin mixing the scents together, try them out on a scent stick to see if you like them. If the fragrance is enjoyable to you, add the distilled water to a dark glass bottle with a lid, then add the fragrances, one at a time, making sure to shake the bottle well after each addition. Be sure to write down the amounts of each fragrance so you can begin compiling your own natural perfume recipes collection.

When all of the fragrances have been added, shake again to mix the ingredients well. Sit the capped bottle in a cool, dark place. Shake it daily. You can check the smell after two weeks. If it suits you, go ahead and use it as you would any perfume. If you are not happy with the way the perfume smells, set it aside for up to a month.

Feel free to add other scents after that if you are still not happy, but do try the new combinations on scent sticks first.
