"Hi, I'm Stephanie from StephanieKNaturals.com and I'm going to show you how to make a homemade flower and fruit perfume. If you're wanting to use flowers that you have in your garden, you can make what is called a tincture, and that is what this is right here. With this you take a very high proof alcohol like Ever Clear and put the flowers into the alcohol and let it sit and once the alcohol absorbs the scent of it than you change out, put new flowers in, and I would do this several times so that you get as much of the scent as possible into the alcohol. So, you can use this, you can also use essential oils that you purchased. So you get some flowers essential oils like Ylang Ylang or Jasmine and take that, take some essential oils of fruit. The fruits they give are pretty much are all citrus. And so they're mandarin, lime, orange, grapefruit, and all of these essential oils can be purchased on line. And so, with these I would combine my choice of flowers which make up the heart notes and the fruit which make up the top notes of the perfume. And blend the two with the bass note such as, maybe, vanilla or one of the woods. Put these together in a carrier oil or a carrier of alcohol and that is how you make a flower and fruit perfume."
