To make a perfume blend, choose three to five oils that you like the smell of. Include at least one each top, middle and base note to add to this mixture. You will also need a clean one-ounce bottle with a lid for each blended mixture you make. Also an eyedropper. Be sure and use one that is clean, and have one for each oil you add to your blend so not to mix the smells. You will need a coffee filter and cut it into strips to test your blend.
Using a clean eyedropper, begin by dropping two drops of each of your oils into on of the one-ounce bottles. To repvent crossing the scents, use those seperate eye droppers. Some essential oils come in a dropper top so to make it easier for dispensing. Cap the bottle. shake slowly. Wait a few minutes an uncap the bottle and inhale the scent. Place a drop on the coffee filter strip and inhale. If it is missing more of a scent then another, add a few drops of the essential oil that is missing.
Continue adding the essential oils, drop by drop, until you have a scent you like. Once you have the oil blend you like, you will need to add 15 drops of your oil blend to one ounce of vodka. Add these together in a glass bottle and shake well. You will need to let your perfume combinatio If you would like, you can add the oil blend to a spray top bottle to make it easier to use.
