ok, I might be on the verge of trying out perfume making. As in, making my own concoctions from essential oils and carrier oils; I might also experiment with alcohol-based recipes.

I like nice smells, and most essential oils are fine as long as I don't go too heavy-handed, but my chronic migraine makes me very sensitive to smells, so I have to take it very slowly. On the other hand, making my own maybe means I might finally have perfumes that don't give me a headache.

Do any of you have any resources for starting with perfume making (tools, safety recommendations, tutorials, other things to consider)?

Question for the perfumers:

I am trying to recreate a scent I had as a teenager. I still have the bottle, and a tiny bit left. I have deciphered what most of the ingredients mean (alcohol, water, sandalwood essential oil, orange essential oil, a preservative, and red and yellow dye) but one of them is just listed as 'perfume'.

WTF does this mean?

I have tried just using orange and sandalwood, but it's not quite right. #perfume #scent #PerfumeMaking #DIY
