The Fast Guide To Making Perfume
This 54-page illustrated ebook shows you how to make your own perfume, including oil and solid perfume.
If you've ever wanted to make high-quality perfume, but you aren't sure how to do it or where to get any of the ingredients, this is the manual for you! "The Fast Guide To Making Perfume" is a true how-to guide. With step-by-step photos, I show you exactly how to make alcohol, oil, and solid perfume.
Perfume Making For Beginners
This isn't a stuffy, boring perfumery textbook; it is written in a fun, easy, "how-to" style just for beginners and newcomers.
I start you off with a really cool project, which is making your own designer duplications. You can basically "knock off" thousands of famous designer perfumes, ones that cost $90 at the cosmetic counter (but only $10 for you to make.) Designer duplications are satisfying and fun to make, but they are only the beginning...
I also walk you through getting started with precious botanicals, such as rose and jasmine absolutes. (Absolutes are what professional natural perfumers use a lot of the time, in addition to essential oils.) When you use absolutes, you have access to an amazing range of aromatic materials.
Some are rare and not used much in modern perfumes, so you can create fragrances that smell fresh and unusual, not the same-old stuff. Using absolutes and rarer essential oils can be expensive, but I tell you how to get started without spending a ton of money. You will see that using plant aromatics isn't as expensive or intimidating as you think!
Creative, Unorthodox Blending Methods
And last, I show you some creative ways to make your own perfume blends. None of them are the tedious traditional method of using top notes, heart notes, and base notes. That method is useful, but it is not beginner-friendly. I feel like it stomps on beginners' confidence because it takes a long time to master.
Instead, I give you more beginner-friendly ways to compose perfumes. They will give you faster, easier ways to create good blends.
A "No-Recipe" Zone
I don't give you any recipes in this book. Perfume making is more of a method than following a set of ingredients; "The Fast Guide To Making Perfume" is designed to give you a good foundation of skills. Recipes are no good if you don't have basic techniques, just like cooking!
After this book, you will be well equipped to follow other people's recipes and really understand them. You will know what the basic materials are for perfuming, and know which ones you like best.
