My first time making my own perfume

My first time making my own perfume, It seem to be very hard but if you do know the trick how to make your own perfume it is quick simple. All you needs is the essential oils, hundred percentage pure alcohol such as vodka or brandy and distilled water. Perfume is make of three notes, the base notes is the smell how you want the perfume to last in your your skin. Second is the middle notes, on how strong you want the smell to be and the smell to long than the base notes. Lastly is the top notes is the smell of oils and the difference rates of the perfume may smell.

Base notes are most make of cedar wood, sandalwood, cinnamon and vanilla as the smell of it are stonger. The middle notes of lemon grass, nutmeg, glove, ylang-ylang, neroli and geranium and top notes are most from flowers such as rose, lavendar, lemon, jasmine, lime and bergamot.

To make perfume mixed the vodka with the essential oils. Abouts thirty drops of essential oils with three ounce of vodka. Put in the base notes than follow by the middle note and the top notes, shake it well for a few minutes and leave it for a week. If the smell is not to your liking, shake it again for a few minutes again and than left it to stay for another a week or three weeks to get a stronger smells. Add in some spring water and stir it for sometimes. pour it through a coffee filter into a nice bottle. Avoid direct sunlight from the perfume.
