  • Making Perfume And Fragrances

    Posted on July 10th, 2009 admin No comments

    The economy has made things difficult for everyone and people find the cost of perfume too much right now. There is one option that most people don't even think about and the solution can be to make your own perfume. Perfume makes a great gift for friends and if you make it yourself it won't cost you too much either.

    You can put the ingredients together using standard kitchen equipment and the ingredients are easily obtained. You don't need to be a scientist to produce perfume and nor do you need a special laboratory.

    You should start by deciding which type of perfume you would prefer to produce and once you have done that you can get the ingredients you require. The perfume you make yourself will be largely made up of water, essential oils and pure grain alcohol or you can simply use vodka. These will be the basic ingredients that are mostly used but you can add further scents if you feel the need. The different types of perfumes we are all familiar with are cologne, Eau De Cologne and Eau de Toilette.Blending of animal and vegetable oils is the way the big perfume houses achieve their powerful scents.

    The perfumes we make at home are basically made with plant oils. You should be able to find these at local store s and they should not be too expensive. Once you have all the ingredients and equipment ready to use you can get on and make your own perfume.

    The essential oils are the most important ingredient you will need in your perfume as this will decide how fragrant it is. Each one of them will have a different chemical composition and you will learn about the different results you will get from each one. Knowing about the base note, the middle, top and bridge notes will help as these are all terms used to describe the perfume.

    If you want to find out more there are many books about making perfume available online and you can buy kits that come complete with an instructional manual. These kits cost anything from $30 to $60 and have everything you need for mixing and storing your finished product.
