Why Make Your Own Perfume

There are several reasons a person should consider making their own perfume.

1. Buying perfume in a store is expensive. Even a tiny bottle of perfume runs at least $20. If you add up the costs of the perfume you need for one year, you could easily save a few hundred dollars.

2. You are limited to the perfume creations the store is selling. Maybe you want your perfume a little stronger. Maybe you want your perfume a little less bold. You can not tell the lady at the counter how you want your perfume. It is sold as is. Making your own perfume will allow you to customize it to your own tastes.

3. Making your own perfume is fun. Any type of craft can be extremely relaxing and give you a way to relieve your stress. You can even make it a project to do with your daughters or friends. They can all change the recipe slightly to create different rose petal perfume. Have a contest to see whose perfume turned out the best and award the winner a prize.

4. After you make your own perfume, you can give it away as a gift. There are no better gifts than home made ones. Perfume is an especially nice gift to give for a Birthday, a wedding shower, or a Christmas present. The recipient will appreciate all the hard work you put in to making it and might even ask for the recipe.

5. Sell the perfume. You can make a decent amount of money selling home made perfume. Just double or triple the recipe and sell the extra perfumes at a flea market or online on an auction site such as eBay. You could sell the perfume for half the price of store bought perfume and still turn a profit.

Choosing a Bottle

You will want to choose a perfume bottle that has a little character to it. Maybe it is tinted, frosted, or has a unique design on the front. When you pick out your perfume bottle you want to ponder who it is you are making the perfume for. If your sister loves the Victorian era, look for a bottle that would remind her of it. If your aunt prefers roll on perfumes, look for a roll on bottle.

There is a site called eBottles (see resources) that sells empty perfume bottles at a decent price. They have many sizes and styles to choose from. If you want to consider a roll on perfume bottle, they have that too. The bottles sell for as low as $2 for one. If you buy a lot of them, you can save even more per bottle.

If you don't want to spend $2 on each perfume bottle, just frequent some yard sales and flea markets and you may be able to find some that are cheaper.

You Will Need the Following Materials to Make Your Own Rose Petal Perfume

1. Empty perfume bottle (or small bottle with a lid)
2. Measuring cup
3. Rose Petals
4. Bottled Water
5. Witch Hazel
6. Glycerin
7. Pan
8. Mixing bowl
9. Almond Oil
10. Vodka
11. Distilled water
12. Vanilla oil

How to Make Rose Petal Perfume

1. Place two cups of rose petals and two cups of almond oil in to a mixing bowl. Spend quite some time crushing up the rose petals and mixing them with the oil. Let it sit out over night. You may want to cover the bowl to keep insects from flying in it and getting stuck.

2. Drain out the rose petals from the oil so that only oil remains.

3. Add eight drops of oil to 2 .5 teaspoons of vodka in a new mixing bowl. Make sure you combine the two well before moving on to the next step.

4. Add .5 cup of distilled water, 3 drops of vanilla essential oil and mix thoroughly.

5. Finish off the perfume with three drops of glycerin. Mix well.

6. Pour the perfume in to your perfume containers.

7. Use on wrists, neck, or behind the ears once daily.

How to Make a Light Rose Perfume

This perfume is not as strong as the one you created above. It is perfect for those individuals that get headaches when wearing as strong odor perfume.

First, you must take about two cups of rose petals off of a rose while they are still fresh.

Second, put the rose petals in a sauce pan and add one liter of bottled water.

Third, turn your stove on high. As soon as you see that the water is about to boil, remove the pan from the heat and turn the stove off.

Fourth, drain the rose petal water in to a cup.

Fifth, add 2/3rds of a cup of witch hazel and 6 drops of glycerin. Mix it together.

Sixth, pour the mixture in to your perfume bottle and close the lid.

Other Ways to Use Your Rose Petal Perfume

1. Make home made potpourri and add some of the rose petal perfume. A few drips will do although you may have to add new drops each week.

2. Make your own home made soaps. For decoration you can leave a rose petal in the middle of the soap. Add a few drops of your rose petal perfume to the soap mixture while it is still liquid and allow it to harden.

3. Dry and crush a bunch of rose petals. Add a few drops of the rose perfume and carefully place inside a sachet.

Tips:
*Roses come in many different colors. It doesn't matter which one you use to make your perfume. If you are looking for the most attractive color perfume, you will want to use the red rose petals.

*Consider growing your own roses so that you don't have to spend any money purchasing them. Roses themselves are also expensive to purchase.

Warning:
*Make sure the roses you are interested in were not doused with pesticides. If you grow them yourself you will be sure of this. Otherwise you need to ask the nursery where you plan on purchasing them.
