read more and learn make your own perfume

This interesting article addresses some of the key issues regarding make your own perfume. A careful reading of this material could make a big difference in how you think about make your own perfume.

In the human brain, the same area that stores memories and emotions also processes olfactory sensations, or smells. It's little wonder, then, that some memories bring back recollections of a specific odor and that certain odors can evoke a vivid memory.

Store-bought perfumes are aromatic fast foods, crafted for appeal to a broad-based olfactory constituency, whereas personal perfumes are like a home-cooked meal, prepared with all your favorite flavors.
"I have the firm belief that people can access emotional healing and mental harmony by using a personalized perfume, one that contains all their favorite memories with favorable emotional content," writes Kendra Grace in her 'Aromatherapy Pocketbook.'

When making personal perfumes for clients, Grace has her "patient" respond to a couple dozen different essential oils (lavender, lemon, jasmine, etc.), grading them on their appeal. Then, taking those that are most pleasing, she blends a personal perfume carefully balance between "base, middle and top notes."
The information about make your own perfume presented here will do one of two things: either it will reinforce what you know about make your own perfume or it will teach you something new. Both are good outcomes.

Base notes (jasmine, rose, etc) are the "fixers" of botanical perfumery, providing a steady base upon which to create a blend. Middle notes (lemon, rosemary, etc) are mild smells that help mediate the more flamboyant top notes (lavender, chamomile) that make the strongest aromatic presence. Vegetable oil is used as a carrier for the essential oils, which make up just 10 to 35 percent of the finished perfume.

"Intuition is very important in blending, and I believe intuition can be invoked if the right state of mind is exercised," Grace points out. "We all have the same potential, but this potential needs to be activated in order to function."

Now you can be a confident expert on make your own perfume. OK, maybe not an expert. But you should have something to bring to the table next time you join a discussion on make your own perfume.

learn how to make your own perfume

Once you have found a scent that you feel really defines who you are and what you are all about, (and makes you just a little more unforgettable!), how do you make your own perfume.

Instead, try building a the scent in layers. For example, many fragrance manufacturers don't just make cologne or perfume, they make other products with the same fragrance as well. You should start by using their soap and shampoo to get a light fragrance over your body.
When you are out of the shower, try using their fragranced powder or body lotion to build up the next layer of scent.

Finally, you have two choices. You can either spray perfume on your pulse points (perfume is the strongest concentration of sent offered by a fragrance manufacturer), or you can spray the eau de toilette or eau de cologne all over your body, since it is a lighter version of the fragments.
Throughout the day, your fragrance layers will evaporate and give off that scent. And over time, your clothes will become infused with the smell as well, and it won't be long until people begin to associate a smell only with you.

And why would you want to smell associated only with you? It's easy! Smell is the sense that is most closely related to our long-term memory. So when people smell something, they often make close associations between the scent and the experience. So give people something to remember about you and layer your body with a scent that will keep you in people's memories for a long time to come.
