Perfumery?

[mattiesmom]

Is anyone making natural perfumes? I would like to explore this but so far having a hard time finding good information. Any book recommendations? Found a few on Amazon but it was hard to tell from reviews/descriptions if they were really "how-to" books. Not much luck with the internet either except one gorgeous website for "Perfume for Strange Women" in Kansas City--no instructions but I wanted to order one of everything. I'm familiar with eos/fragrance from years of soap making, otherwise know nothing about it. Thanks!

Here is one that I bought: Natural Perfumes: Simple, Sensual, Personal Aromatherapy Recipe

Why yo don't make your own. This is my recipe 100 ml of 100% grain alcohol or perfumer's alcohol, 10 drops Peru balsam EO, 10 drops beeswax absolute , 25 drops geranium EO, 25 Rosewood EO, 25 drops Palmarosa, 35 tuberose Absolute.

I HIGHLY recommend two sources of information, the books, the blogs, the schools, etc. One is Jeanne Rose http://www.jeannerose.net/ the other is Demetria Clark http://www.heartofherbs.com/
