Helpful Tips

This homemade perfume oil is meant to be used on your skin. Do not spray the oil into the air as an air freshener.
Shake the oil before using to combine all of the scents.
If you would like to use other essential oils, feel free to mix and match.
We added a vanilla bean for an extra dose of natural vanilla fragrance. However, the perfume oil will smell great without the vanilla bean, so you can omit it if you want.
Any carrier oil can be used. It does not have to be avocado oil. The Vitamin E oil, though, is great to use because it is good for the skin.
The longer that this oil stays in the bottle with the vanilla bean, the stronger the scent will be. Consider making this blend and allowing it to infuse for a few weeks before using.
