I can’t wait to try this, but have qua question. I can only find 2 oils/scents that I really like. One of them already has more than one scent in it. (Called Lotus) Is it possible to use only 2 oils/scents? If so, how would I do that? Equal parts? What if the Lotus scent is the one I like more?

I have a question about the strength.
It seems very strong in its EO blend for a perfume? Usually perfumes are diluted much more than this. Is it safe to have such a strength of essential oils in this concentration?

Thank you!

I’ve been looking for info re making perfume so to see this was awesome. I don’t understand some of the ‘language’ in your directions re: do I need to purchase some essential oils? what is meant by ‘note’? What am I ‘testing’ for? I would love to sit beside you and do this project with you!! Thanx

You can get bottles and things here:
Specialty Bottle or SKS Bottle.

@Jenny C:

Only put the carrier oil in step 6! Do not dilute the perfume twice!! 😀

Thanks for all the comments everyone!

I will definitely be trying this! First a few questions:

1. Where is the best place to buy the supplies?

and 2. On step 4 we are to put our oils in the container and then walk away, then on step 6 we are to put in the carrier oil. Do we put carrier oil in step 4 AND 6 or just step 6?
