How To Make Perfume

Picture of Perfume Bottle - Tipnut.comI’m in the mood to hand out a freebie!

Here’s a 28 page report on how to make perfume (pdf). I found this sitting in some long forgotten folder on my computer and saw it came with full rights to distribute as I wish (including give it away free).

Since we Tipnuts love “How To” and “Do-It-Yourself” stuff, I’m happy to share it with you here.

Have no fear, although it’s beginner level information–it’s not one of those cheezy ad filled ebook thingies :) .

The chapters in the report include:

  1. Introduction
  2. The History of Perfumery
  3. What Can Perfume Be Made From?
  4. The First Steps In Order To Make Your Own Perfume
  5. How To Go About Making Your Own Perfume
  6. What Supplies Do You Need And Where Do You Get Them
  7. How To Make Your Own Perfume At Home
  8. How To Create Aromatherapy Perfumes at Home
  9. Some Simple Recipes To Make Perfume At Home
  10. How To Sell Your Home Made Perfume

A sample from the report, this is the simplest of all perfume recipes that you can reproduce at home…

Basic Perfume Recipe

The ingredients you need are as follows:

  1. 2 cups of water
  2. 2 cup fresh chopped flower blossoms (you may want to use such flowers as lavender, lilac, orange blossoms or honeysuckle).

Now for the directions:

  1. In a bowl, put a cheesecloth (make sure that the edges of the cloth hang over the side of the bowl). Fill this with 1 cup of flower blossoms (you choose) and then pour water over them until they are completely covered.
  2. Cover the bowl and allow it to sit overnight. The following day, take hold of the edges of the cheesecloth hanging over the side of the bowl and lift it up, then gently squeeze the scented water produced into a small pot. You will now need to place this water into a pot and allow it to simmer until there is about 1 teaspoon left of the liquid. Allow the solution to cool, and place it in a small bottle. Perfume made this way normally has a shelf life of about 1 month.

The report is pretty basic and might provide more info than what you’re looking for (like the history of perfume or setting up a business selling it), but it provides a great start if you want to delve into a perfume making hobby.
