How to Make Fragrance Oil
Fragrance oils can be purchased at most health supply stores or bath supply stores. They are often available in a variety of scents. Certain types and brands of fragrance oils can be expensive. You can save money by making your own fragrance oils at home.
- Decide what type of oil you want to use for the base of the fragrance oil. You can choose any oil-based liquid you like. Baby oil is a cheap and easy to find oil. You can even use vegetable oils. You may want to experiment with the different types of oils available to determine which ones you like best.
- Decide what type of fragrance you want the oil to have. Visit your local heath care store. Browse through the different fragrances and choose the one you like best. If you plan to make more than one batch of fragrance oil, you can purchase more than one scent.
- Choose a bottle with matching lid to store the fragrance oil in. You can purchase empty bottles from a department store or craft supply store. You may also rinse out used shampoo or lotion bottles and use them to store your fragrance oil.
- Pour the base oil into the empty bottle. Add several drops of scented oil to the base. Place the lid on the bottle and shake it to mix the oils together.
- Place the fragrance oil on a shelf and allow it to set for 3-4 days. This i will give the scented oil a change to blend with the oil base and help develop the scent. Use the fragrance oil as often as desired.
