[glow=red,2,300]How to Make Luscious Cream Perfume - Formula
Adapted from Perfumes, Splashes, and Colognes, by Nancy M. Booth (Storey Books, 1997).
I couldn’t believe how easy it is to make this luxurious cream perfume. It is such a great gift idea, and so quick you can whip up a batch at the very last minute and still have it done in plenty of time!
We include two different formulas: one is bright and citrusy (according to a recent study I just saw discussed on the internet, wearing citrus scents makes you appear thinner to the opposite sex!) and one spicily reminiscent of the Three Kings’ gifts. Both are completely divine.
INGREDIENTS
2 tablesthingys grated beeswax
2 tablesthingys sweet almond oil
1-2 teasthingys pure essential oils
1. Melt beeswax in an enamel or glass pan over boiling water. Add sweet almond oil; combine. Be patient with this step; it’s important to blend them completely.
2. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before adding the oils of your choice (see formulas below).
3. Fill small clean, dry glass jars with the solid perfume.
Sunny Citrus Blend
1/2 teasthingy essential oil of sweet orange
1/2 teasthingy essential oil of lemon
1/2 teasthingy essential oil of bergamot
Three Kings Blend
1 teasthingy essential oil of frankincense
1/2 teasthingy essential oil of myrrh
1/4 teasthingy essential oil of sandalwood
Helpful Hints:
After step 1, you may add 1 tablesthingy of distilled water if you want a firmer result.
