Cost: $8,5 - 7,5€
Ingredients
- 15 ml essential oils blend fragrance blend
- 30 ml alcohol 96º (ethanol) cereal alcohol
- 5 ml sweet almond oil
Essential Oils Blend (example)
Fragrances Blend (example)
- 15 ml rose fragrance oil
Instructions
- Disinfect all your equipment before starting. You can use a solution of 1 liter of water with 1/2 cup of bleach. Make sure that when making your perfume, all items and clean and dry.
- Measure 15 ml of your favorite essential oil blend or fragrance blend. You can mix any essential oils or fragrances, this is 100% up to your scent preferences, there are no rules here. You can also use one single essential oil or fragrance.
- Measure 30 ml of alcohol into a cup and add your perfume blend into it. Mix well.
- Pour your perfume into the reed diffuser glass bottle.
- Add the sweet almond oil. The 5 ml quantity is not important, you can add more or less. The sweet almond oil will only make your reed diffuser last much longer, as the alcohol evaporates quite fast and your reeds will absorb it immediately.
- When you make your perfume the scent will be disappointing. This is normal, the essential oil blend or fragrance blend needs to macerate into the alcohol. Keep your glass bottle covered and in a dark place for one week, to macerate
- After one week, uncover your glass bottle and add the reed diffuser sticks. Your reed diffuser is ready to use!!
- I use a 30% concentration of perfume and for me this is strong enough. If you want your perfume to be lighter, you can change to a 20% concentration: 10 ml of perfume blend with 35 ml of alcohol + 5ml oil.
