# 2. Perfume for the Gorgeous Lady
Who doesn’t love perfumes? Just a whiff of the best perfumes can be a magical thing. For your lady love, you can buy exciting scents, or even better make your toxic-free signature perfume from natural ingredients available at Mesmara.
Most importantly, before you create your magical spell, here is something that you need to know about perfume notes based on essential oils.
Top Notes: Top notes are generally the lightest of all notes, and fade the quickest. The most common ones include citrus like sweet orange and lemon, herbs like tea tree and eucalyptus, and light fruits like berries.
Middle Notes: Middle notes last longer and have a strong influence on the base notes to come. These include rose, lavender, geranium, lemongrass.
Base Notes: Base notes are often rich notes and linger for hours. Common base notes include vanilla, musk, cedarwood, patchouli and others.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons of carrier oil (grapeseed, jojoba, sweet almond or anything of your choice)
6 tablespoons of vodka
2.5 tablespoons bottled water
30 drops of essential oil (9 for top notes, 15 for middle notes, and 6 for base notes)
A small funnel
Coffee filter
2 clean dark glass bottles with airtight lids
Method
- Firstly, pour your preferred carrier oil into one of the glass bottles. Add your base, then the middle, and then the top notes.
- Add vodka.
- Secure the lid, and let your perfume sit. Remember, the longer you let it sit, the stronger the scent is. Let it sit for a minimum of 48 hours or a maximum of 6 weeks.
- Then add water, and shake the bottle vigorously for 1 minute.
- Then use filter and funnel to transfer the scent to the other bottle.
- Voila, perfume for the lady is ready.
