Simple Lavender Solid Perfume Recipe

About This Recipe:

Making solid perfume is highly satisfying and easier to make than you might expect. It’s fun to experiment with different essential oils to customize your perfume, but even just one essential oil such as Lavender or Rose can be lovely.  You can make it even more simple by using only Jojoba Wax as your base.

NOTE: When selecting essential oils to include in your solid perfume, be mindful of the safety precautions for each oil, especially those that are likely to cause irritation or phototoxicity.

To Use: Dab a small amount of perfume onto your neck, behind your ears or on your wrists. If you included any phototoxic essential oils, avoiding applying the perfume to areas that will be exposed to sunlight.
