Tips & variations
Once you have made your solid perfume, here are a few ways to get a great result and make it your own.
- Add fragrance gradually and stir well so it blends evenly through the base.
- Store any extra in a sealed bottle away from heat.
- Label each batch with the date and fragrance so you remember your favourites.
Make it your own: blend two fragrances, or adjust the strength to suit the size of the room.
