First,you need a base.

Jojoba is particulary good and once it is put on the skin,it tends to dry out and leave a wonderful scent behind.

1. Take one teaspoon of carrier oil (jojoba,almond) and one teaspoon of alcohol and place them in a bottle.

2. Next,add the essential oils from your chosen recipe.You will add a drop at a time.

3. After adding each drop to the rest of the mixture,the bottle should be shaken (remember to put a lid on before shaking).

4. Now make sure the lid is on tightly,and store in a cool dark place for 12 or more.
5. After 12 days you can begin to enjoy the aromatherapy perfume that you have made.
