Solid Perfume DIY

Making a solid perfume is relatively simple, as I found out online. Unfortunately, easy directions don't always yield the planned results. It was like this for me with solid perfume.

 All you need: Beeswax, Carrier Oil (Using Sweet Alomd), a container and the essential oil of choice!

 I'm using the yellow kind of beeswax. The flakes are pillowy and very small, probably to make them easier to melt.

Beeswax and carrier oil are poured in equal measure (1 tablespoon plus 1 tablespoon)

 Using Lavender Essential Oil by Mystic Moments

 This is Lilac Perfume Oil (not essential oil!). And I'm not sure this even smells like lilac at all ...

 The container I chose - I bought it like this

 There's even a plastic flap in the middle.

 The container looks small, but it fills about 15ml

 Experimenting with two pots ... 


 This little container is where the essential oils are mixed (before the wax and oil come in)


 The stuff dries REALLY quickly ...

The way I did it (probably not the right way, because it doesn't smell the way I wanted it to)

1. Get Beeswax, Carrier Oil and Essential Oil of choice and a tiny container

2. Melt Beeswax and carrier oil in a pot that is put into another pot which is filled with boiling water

3. do not boil the oil and beeswax directly!

4. in a separate bowl or cup, mix your favorite scents. Do NOT pour them into the heated mixture

5. pour hot beeswax and oil into the scented oil cup and mix quickly

6. pour everything into the chosen tiny container and let it set

The whole procedure takes only about 20 minutes.
Unfortunately I'm a terrible perfumist, so I'll have to try harder next time!

Blessings and balance ~
