Making your own perfume is not about being frugal. It is about taking control of what scent you put on by creating a fragrance that is uniquely suited to your body chemistry, mood and taste. Aside from making your own perfume for personal use, you can also decide to make your own perfume for a small business or as a novel and useful present for your friends and loved ones.
Like any craft, the basics of making your own perfume are easy and the whole process is fun. You don't have to wait till you're done to share the fun. You can opt to make your own perfume by yourself or make it a fun group activity for everyone to enjoy.
The actual perfume making will start after you have gathered the ingredients and materials you will need to make your fragrance. To find out what these are, you will have to consult a perfume recipe.
Unfortunately, there are so many perfume recipes to choose from if you just search on line. Don't worry, these perfume recipes for making your own perfume are free and truly simple and easy. The hard part will be deciding which perfume recipe to try. To help you decide on the right perfume recipe to try making your own perfume from, perhaps you should ask yourself what type of perfume you would like to make.
There are different types of perfumes. There are perfume oils, eau de cologne, body sprays and such. What will help you decide here will be to determine who will be the end user of this perfume you are about to make. If it is for your personal use then you decide what it is that you prefer.
It is a gift for someone, then try to decide what they would like best. If you are making your own perfume as a fun group activity, then you will have to get a consensus within the group about what they would like to produce.
The next thing to consider is what type of smell you would like your end product to smell like. As you well know there are different types of scents. You should be guided by the preference of scents of the person who will be using the product.
After you have answered those questions, you will start to get a more concrete idea of what type of perfume recipe you will want to try out. If you're feeling confident, you can experiment and enhance the available online perfume recipes with other scents and ingredients you think will work well together. The more you work on making your own perfume, the better you get at it because you gain the confidence to experiment and go beyond just following a recipe.
Experimenting will allow you to really personalize your fragrances as well as discover really wonderful blends. Don't forget to check and test the perfume on your skin because it smells different when sniffed from a container. The perfume will react to your body chemistry and give off a unique scent, which will help you decide on how to adjust your recipe to suit your body better.
After you have created your perfume, remember to store it properly. If you are giving it away, you will want to make the packaging nice for a good presentation. However, do not forget that perfume is sensitive to heat, light and oxygen so that you should be guided accordingly.

Creating Your Own Seduction Scent
There are many ways to seduce a man. Some use charm while others rely on the outfit. One thing that always works even in a crowded room is the scent that is sprayed on a woman's body.
For this to work, the person has to figure out which scent works best. This can only be done by walking into a store and trying the various bottles that are on display.
Instead of just smelling it, it is best to apply this on the skin. This is because the contents of each bottle will react differently to one's natural chemicals.
Since it is hard to distinguish one smell from the other after a few trials, the person should stop and smell some coffee beans first so the nose will be sensitive once again to the other products.
The rule of thumb when selecting the perfume is that those who have dry skin should use one that has a strong scent. Those who are oily should use something lighter in order for it to last for a few hours.
Since women use various creams to keep the body healthy, it is best to check if this will have a negative reaction when these are mixed. Those who do should change this to the same brand as the perfume that can be purchased separately or in a traveler's kit.
Another tip to seduce the man will be to use unscented toiletries so the focus will be on the perfume that was sprayed on.
The perfume being used might be expensive on the woman's budget. There is a cheaper alternative and that is by coming up with one that is custom made.
For this to work, the customer will have to buy the essential oils and know the importance of each one. These are divided into three namely called the top, middle and base notes.
These are derived from plant extracts that are also used by perfume manufacturers. The person has the option of creating a scent similar to that favorite perfume or make one up that is much better.
After getting all the ingredients, this is the time that these will be mixed with together. The person should not throw everything in at once. This should be done drop by drop so the woman will be able to smell it and see how it does.
When the right mix has been made, the person should stop and add the bridge note and the alcohol. It will take time for the contents to settle down so this should be stored somewhere for the next 48 hours.
The last part about making your own perfume will be adding some water and then filtering this to make sure there are no solid contents. This practice is also being done by perfume manufacturers to make sure it is pure.
Some perfumes may stain when this is sprayed on clothes. Since it is hard to tell if the homemade one will do it, the person should spray this on the skin before putting anything on.
These places should include the wrists, behind the neck and ears, around the joints from the elbows to the knees and of course on one's chest
The nice thing about custom-made perfume is that this can’t be bought from the store making the item and the man exclusively the woman's.
