Homemade Fragrance

Recipe #382483 | 2 hours | 2 hours prep | add private note

In order to make this all-natural fragrance, you must use a CARRIER OIL, that is, an oil that has no fragrance of its own. Great options are as follows: sweet almond, grape seed, avocado, sesame, sunflower, jojoba, walnut, peanut, and pecan. Use whichever essential oils you like, but I would not recommend fragrance oils since they have a lot of alcohol and chemicals in them. Lavender, vanilla, clove, orange, and lemon essential oils are just some suggestions.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 12-24 drops essential oils

Directions

  1. 1
    Place oil in a small squirt bottle. Add about 5-8 drops of oil and swish around. Place in a cool dark place for 1 hour and test it out. Add more fragrance or oil depending on how strong or weak you want it. Continue adding drops of essential oil until you have the desired fragrance. Keep the finished product in a dark place--like the bathroom counter.
