Make your own Solid Perfume

Rainbows and Roses — Mon, 14 Apr 2014 00:11:19 GMT

In Country Living May 2014 issue........only three ingredients...........you will need two perfume compacts and plastic liners in each and you can find them at {ladyofthelockets.etsy.com}. Then mix 1 1/2 teaspoons of jojoba oil and 25 drops of your choice of essential oil.............in a glass; set aside jojoba oil and essential oils you can find at bulk apothecary dot com. Melt 3/4 teaspoon of grated beeswax on low heat in a glass bowl over a double broiler for 5-10 seconds (white beeswax at bulk apothecary dot com} Remove beeswax from heat and stir in the oil mixture. Reheat for ten seconds. Pour the mixture into the compacts, then let cool completely............Surely we could use our favorite parfume and make these.....I think it would be a fun project but I suggest instead of taking the directions I copied from the magazine, please purchase your own magazine because I could have made some mistakes. DO YOU THINK YOU WILL TRY THIS?

This sounds like a good idea. My daughter is the crafty one so I will get her right on this to make a batch for me.

Last time I fiddled around with wax my hubby ended up with a couple of scars in places you should not have scars.

A good quality essential perfume oil is not cheap, and it is too much fuss for me.

I would use organic essential oils and it would take too much experimenting for me to get something I liked-and expensive.

I love solid perfumes, but fortunately I've purchased enough for the foreseeable future.

I have seen this done using old pocket watches to hold the perfume. It has been a long time since I did this and lip balm.

I just may have to get some wax and make some for summer.

I haven't used solid perfume..but I wouldn't try and make it if I did lol..

I would much rather leave it to those that know what they are doing and buy my stuff.

no, I would not try this. I do make my own lip scrubs, but I wouldn't want to mess around with this.

I'm being silly here, but I had to say, all I did was read the question and first thing that popped in my head was, I hope it's deodorant!! LOL
