I love homemade anything, and now, I especially love homemade perfume!
Don't get me wrong. I've still got my store standards, such as Vanillary by Lush or Gin Blossom by Love + Toast, but homemade perfume is just as divine!
Of course, it's infused with my most favorite natural essence of all – essential oils! They nearly make me high (who knows, maybe they really do!). Try it for yourself and see! It makes a perfect holiday gift, birthday gift, or just a little something for yourself.
Ingredients:
- 2 c distilled water
- 3 tbsp vodka
- 1 tbsp each finely chopped orange and lemon peel
- 5 drops lemon verbena essential oil
- 10 drops mandarin essential oil
- 10 drops orange essential oil
Directions:
1. Add the fruit peels with the vodka in a jar.
2. Cover and leave for a week.
3. Strain the liquid and then add the water and essential oils to the liquid.
4. Leave for 2 weeks but shake the jar once a day.
5. Keep in a cool dark area.
