Buying your own perfume is expensive, and some instructions for making your own can be hard to understand. Not to mention you have no idea where to get the ingredients they tell you to use. With these recipes, you can easily create your own perfume that is completely unique.

Steps

Steeping Flowers

Line the bowl with cheesecloth, allowing for the edges to hang over a bit.

Place the flower petals in the bowl.

Cover with water.

Allow to sit overnight and through the next day. Steep for at least 24 hours.

Use the edges of the cheesecloth, to pull the flowers out of the bowl.

Pour the water into a pot, and squeeze the excess scented water out of the cheesecloth-bundled flowers.

Turn on the heat, and allow the water to simmer down to about a teaspoon

Pour your perfume into a small bottle. Enjoy!

Using a Quicker Process

Put highly scented flowers, such as roses into a bowl of water.

Squeeze the flowers with your fingertips.

Allow the flowers to sit for about 30 minutes to an hour.

Separate the flowers from the water when the time is up. Pour through a sieve or through cheesecloth/muslin.

Pour the water into a bottle. This is very subtle, quickly made perfume. It will need frequent reapplication or can be used in a bath to cover you in a lovely scent.
