Perfume questions

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

 

I've been wanting to make some fairly simple perfumes and hope someone

will be able to answer a couple of questions for me . . .

 

I was thinking of using a jojoba oil base . . . what proportion of EO

would I use? I realize that it could vary depending on what EOs I'm

using, but a ballpark ratio would be a huge help.

 

I've also recently seen some " pulse points " that use glycerine, alcohol

and EOs . . . could anyone suggest proportions for something like this as

well? And I'm assuming that I'd use perfumer's alcohol?

 

Thanks bunches!!

Hi Roxanne

 

I make up two roller-ball bottles which are very popular for pulse-points and

perfuming. I use Macadamia as the base and nothing else - because it's light,

easily-absorbed and stable. Jojoba would be a great one too. In the Lavender one

I put 4% of my Lavender Fine and in the Neroli one just 0.5% of my Neroli (by

weight, that is). I experimented based on my nose (ie, the Neroli is REALLY

strong) and the fact that the Lavender has a practical use - for headaches, etc.

 

Hope that helps.
