Perfume Blends

Today I got the itch to start making perfume again, and was going through some old notes looking for the recipe for Night Queen, a very popular blend amongst the boho and hippie chicks back in the day:

Night Queen

3 drops rose
2 drops jasmine
1 drop sandalwood/patchouli

And here are two little treasures that no-one with our interests should be without:

Mock Carnation

4 drops ylang ylang
1 drop clove
1 drop black pepper


Mock Jasmine


15 drops patchouli

6 drops ylang ylang

I blend my essential/fragrance oils with solubilizer, then mix them into vodka. You may find you need up to 5 x the amount of oils of solubilizer to get them to emulsify into the vodka.

You can wait until the blend marries, but being impatient by nature, I believe in premarital perfumery...
