Homemade Perfume Ideas
- by KissMeGoodnight.com

       

There are so many possibilities . . . possibilities that will fill your home with luxurious scents that are uniquely yours. Scent, as we all know, invokes memories but it also affects our mood, our appetite and our erotic desires. Natural scents like jasmine, lilac, cedar, myrrh, and tuberose, are just some of your natural options but then there are cinnamon, fig, orange and many others you already have at home; and, know it or not, you are already using some of them to create an aromatic ambience in your home.

What do people smell when they enter your home? The smells of cooking? The smells of fresh flowers cut from your garden? With just a little effort you can add to these pleasant aromatic treats with some concoctions of your own.

Layering scents! One technique for dressing up your home in aromas is layering the scents. For example you can have an oil burner with an orange or spice scent and then brew a pot of orange spice tea. Or use the same technique with scented candles while having a pot or kettle of water simmering with some compatibly scented oil. Orange is, of course, just one of the many common scents available, how about vanilla, strawberry or kiwi or a combination of oils such as a bit of vanilla with a touch of ginger oil and peach.

Sachets! Here's a technique for creating little packets of scent for around the house or even in your car: Wrap up chopped pinecones and spruce or cedar sprigs in a cloth handkerchief and use a rolling pin to press out the oils. Separate the now highly scented material into little sachets to create your scented bundles. Make it a habit to collect fragrant things like spruce, flower petals and lavender to make these sachets.

Have you ever heard of a scented sleep pillow? You can make your own scented sleep pillow with rose petals, other favorite flower petal, chamomile buds and lavender. Mix these all up and sew them up into mini-pillow that you keep nearby when you sleep -- pleasant dreams!

Just a couple more tips! Vanilla extract has a pleasant scent and just a touch of it on your wrists will allow you to carry that scent around the house with you. Another practical use for the power of the vanilla scent is to create a hand soaking solution out of milk and vanilla. If you have been cleaning fish or working with anything that has left an unpleasant odor on your hands, soak your hands for a few minutes in this home-made solution and you'll be free of the bad odor.

Cinnamon sticks are an old, old favorite. If simmering some cinnamon in water doesn't take you back to some pleasant memories it will at least provide some new ones. Invest in a home coffee grinder -- that is a smell-generator that is, to some people, worth more than the investment.

Homemade perfume! Here is a basic homemade perfume recipe (from Ultimate Cosmetics at: http://www.ultimate-cosmetics.com/beauty/homemade-recipes/perfumes.htm). You can also find more specific recipes at Ultimate Cosmetics as well as elsewhere on the Internet.

Ingredients:

1 cup water

1 cup fresh chopped flower blossoms

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.

Some suggestions for flowers are : Lavender, lilac, orange blossoms or even honeysuckle. Anything that has a scent you love and is, at the same time highly fragrant, will work best for you.

A note about aromatherapy! Aromatherapy is today's new thing! Aromatherapy is , essentially, the use of aromas to create positive changes in your health and sense of well being. Think about these statistics: If you hurt yourself it may take up to 12 seconds to feel the pain. If you encounter a scent, it takes about 5 seconds for it to register in your brain. That might suggest something to you about the power of scent and the practical possibilities of aromatherapy.

Aromatherapy uses “essential oils,” as opposed to the “fragrance oils” that are typically used to imbue your home with your scent of choice. Inhaling, bathing with or misting these essential oils allow them to relax you, relieve your common headaches, improve your mood, give you more energy and even assist you, indirectly, with loosing weight. Those may seem like some pretty amazing claims but there are many who swear that they are valid claims. It must be said that aromatherapy works better for some people than it does for others because some people are more open to its possibilities than others.
