How do I make a homemade perfume?

  • Well...I want to make my self a parfume...Let's see I cooked cinnamon,coco nut,limontus and added 3-4 drops lavander oil.And alcohol.and I put it on me and the smell didn't last even 30 seconds...How can I make it last?

  • Answer:

    Hello! great question! The three most common ingredients in making home made perfumes are essential oils, water and alcohol. Those who are not sure which plants these come from can get these from the specialty store Here is a basic Homemade Perfume Recipe 1 cup water 1 cup fresh chopped flower blossoms OR ANY OF YOUR FAV SCENTS.. Directions: In a bowl place a cheesecloth where the edges are hanging over the bowl. Fill with 1 cup of flower blossoms of your choice. Pour water over the flowers until they are completely covered. Cover and let sit overnight. The next day using the edges of cheesecloth pull it out of the bowl and gently squeeze the scented water into a small pot. Simmer the water until about 1 teaspoon is left. Cool and place into a small bottle. Making perfume this way has a shelf life of about 1 month. I hope that helps!

I'd not add the alcohol. You'd generally use alcohol to extract the oil from something, but not to already extracted oil. Alcohol evaporates easily so that's probably what's happening to your perfume smell.

You should use all essential or fragrance oils, things cooked in water will not last. Cinnamon oil, though, can burn the skin. Add a bit of liquid glycerin and I use grain alchohol (Everclear) or even vodka not isopropyl (rubbing). The glycerin will help the scent stay on your skin and not evaporate with the alchohol
