Perfume-Making

A perfume is an intimate object, it is the reflector of the heart.
Emanuel Ungaro



Hi
Greetings for the day!!

Perfumes were ever an Important part of every culture of the world .The history of perfumes began in antiquity.The Word perfume came from the Latin word "per fume" which means "Through Smoke".

The art of making perfumes began in ancient Egypt but developed and further refined by Romans and Arabs.Perfumes also existed in India,much of it were incense based.The earliest distillation of ATTAR was mentioned in "Charaka Samhita"

Perfume is a mixture of fragrant essential oils or aroma compounds,fixatives and solvent used to give human body ,objects and living spaces a pleasant scent.

In this post I wish to discuss ,how to make a home made room-freshener.
The ingredients you need are:
1.alcohol : 30ml

If you are a beginner ,its recommended to start with a small quantity.

2.Fixolite : 4 pinch

Its a substance which will help the perfume to bond.

3.Essential Oil: lavender 1.5 ml,Fresh-lime 6/8 drops( use a dropper)

Lavender is one of the most nostalgic fragrances. It is one of the most versatile oils in nature. The fragrance is very relaxing and calming to the body and mind. That is why it is a “must have” for the home!While lavender can help with your sleep and mood, it also has a wide range of health benefits. it helps in treating migraines, headaches, anxiety, depression, nervous tension and emotional stress. The refreshing aroma removes nervous exhaustion and restlessness and increases mental activity.

Fresh-lime has a refreshing scent.

4.Very little of any edible color,preferably red.

5.A reusable perfume bottle.

6.A measuring funnel.

Procedure:
Take the resuasble perfume bottle and pour alcohol,fixolite,lavender,fresh lime,and a bit of edible color as directed, mix it together very well.

Duration:

keep the bottle in a safe place for 24 hrs.as the days will pass,the fragrance will mature.

Now your job is done .You have your very own room freshener.enjoy.
