By Rebecca Park Totilo

For morę Information about essential oils and their healing properties, please visit http://HealWithOil.com.

Before we get started, make surę you have everything you need. Here’s your checklist.

•    Distilled water

•    Essential oils

•    Plastic sheeting

•    Glycerin

•    Large measuring cup with spout for pouring

•    Dark glass bottle with lid

•    Vodka or Perfumer’s Alcohol

You’re probably still wondering about the Vodka, right? Using Vodka in your perfume will actually serve a couple of purposes. Vodka enhances the aroma of perfumes. It also preserves the scent without making it overpowering. You only need a smali amount so don’t rush out and buy afifth!

The plastic sheeting is used to protect your table or countertop as the essential oils and alcohol can damage them if spilled. This is also the reason you’re using a measuring cup with a spout. It’s much easier to pour without worrying about spilling it. It’s better to be safe than sorry.

When making homemade perfumes as previously discussed, there are four main ingredients which you will need, and these are:

1.    Essential Oils

2.    Water

3.    Alcohol

4.    Fixatives

Many of these items can be either obtained from a storę that specializes in such ingredients, or over the internet.

You will also need a large saucepan, large bowl (for mixing all the ingredients together), spoon and some measuring cups or jugs to make perfume at home.
