So, why not join in on the fun and make your own perfume at home. The best thing about it is you can select your own scents using pure essential oils.
It’s really fun – getting reacquainted with my particular brand of nose and the alchemy and combining scents.
Take your oils and start playing with the scents. Don't get frustrated if you don’t get the perfect aroma the first time. Just keep trying and you will create the perfect scent for you.
This really is fun, and know that the scent blends and matures the more you let it sit.
