Solid Homemade Perfume
Yield: 1 application
• 1 tablespoon beeswax
• 3 tablespoons grape-seed oil
• 1 tablespoon almond oil
• 20 drops essential oil blend
Directions: Melt the beeswax in a double boiler. Add grape-seed and almond oils and stir ingredients completely, approximately 1 to 3 minutes. Once melted, remove from heat and let sit for 3 to 5 minutes. Add essential oil blend to mixture and stir.
Pour perfume blend into a metal container and let harden for 10 to 15 minutes. Store in purse for easy access.
Note: I recommend adorning yourself with your favorite perfume throughout the day for incredible aromatherapy and mood benefits. I have included some of my favorite perfume blends below to use for this recipe.
