Solid Perfumes
HOW TO DIY Solid Perfume
Materials
- 1 1/2 teaspoon jojoba oil
- 25 drops of four essential oils you like (approximately 5-7 drops of each oil). Since wax dulls the scent of many perfume top notes, use a stronger concentration of these—common top notes are citrus and ginger.
- Generous 1/2 teaspoon grated beeswax (available at health food stores or online)
- Eye Droppers
- Non-metal, heat-safe bowl
- Small cup
- Empty compact, pillbox, locket, or pocket watch necklace
Instructions
- Pour jojoba oil into your small cup. Add all the drops of essential oils and mix.
- In your heat-safe container, melt the beeswax over the stove top or 5-10 seconds.
- Stir the beeswax. After it's completely liquified, mix with the jojoba/perfume blend.
- Reheat the entire blend for just 10 seconds over the stove and continue to stir.
- Prepare your empty compact and immediately pour the finished mixture in.
- Let your solid perfume cool completely, then enjoy your new custom scent! The texture should feel like a soft lipstick or balm.
