Something for everyone

All-Natural Perfume Making by Kristen Schuhmann Do you long for a more personalized scent, than what stores are offering to you? This book will help you to create your own scent, complete with handy hints and helpful tips to create the quality scent that you desire. There are resources for finding ingredients, as well as tables that describe the notes of perfumes, so you will be able to create a well-balanced scent. Perfect for those with allergies, you can find scents that don't trouble you and concoct your own recipe to delight the senses. The recipes are created with all-natural ingredients, so you know exactly what is included in your products, instead of chock-full of nasty chemicals that you can't even pronounce the names of. There are several types of products that you can create, including alcohol-based, oil-based, and solid perfumes. Herbal extracts used for making Bay Rum as a perfume and Vanilla Extract for baking. Hydrosols and Flower Waters for a lighter scent. With glycerin extracts, herbal oils, and Chakara perfumes there is something for everyone to spray, dab, or swipe across your skin. A very nice book to have upon your shelf, it has the potential to teach you many things.
