Make perfume

[violet]

This is such a great site. I've made the solid perfume twice, once with a mixture of oils that was rather gross, and then again yesterday using a blend purchased from Perfect Potions.

Here's how to make solid perfume:

She has suggestions for oil mixtures. I used this:

Smells edible, will last for ages. I bought it while at the mega center last week.

Bought the beeswax here:

They also sell essential oils in small quantities.

I then used beeswax, oil and honey to make a lip balm to refill my Burt's Bees lip balm tin. Much cheaper to DIY, using instructions from crunchybetty as a guideline. I didn't add any scent, just oil and beeswax and a tiny bit of honey. The lavender recipe provided the proportions.:

It's easy to do and the results are great.

This sounds very interesting (and a lot healthier than the stuff on would purchase in the store). Off to check out the links...
