Does anyone know how I can craft my own lavender perfume? I hear it can be done using alcohol and the flowers.?
Answers: 4) Flower aroma perfumes
You will entail:
* 2 cup of water
* 1 cup fresh chopped flower blossoms
Directions:
Place a cheesecloth surrounded by a bowl, where the edges are limp over. Fill with 1 cup of flower blossoms of your choice. Pour hose down over the flowers until they are completely covered. Cover and let sit overnight. By using the edges of cheesecloth verbs it out of the bowl and gently squeeze the redolent water into a small pot. Cool and place it within a small bottle. You can use these perfumes simply for a month.
Having lived in WA state for awhile, With access to Sequim, and have been involved next to lavendar as a notion for farming, and NOT mortal a woman, nor needing the scent for my own personal use,,,I do know of it's multitude of properties and uses. Food products one one of the lesser known.
I want to ask however, why consider it as a perfume?
I'd suggest, though it seems a bit intensive to attempt making your own,,,Essential Oils, already infused near Lavendar.
Not at all knowing where on earth you are,,,or your access to the flower, I wonder what your notion is.
Alchohol, not only evaporates speedily, but doesn't diffuse or retain the SCENT as well as oil do.
Also without knowing if you hold a lavendar farming situation going on; To create adequate lavendar oils from the blossoms; to engineer it worth your effort and expense; could help yourself to ACRES of plants.
DIY Doc is right it's the oils that retain the scent, I would suggest some reading on perfume making and maybe a whaling voyage to collect the oils.
