How some cologne's are made ?


Step 1 Add perfumer's alcohol to a mixing bottle about 5 teaspoons use a eyedropper to place the oils in the following amounts one drop at a time into the bottle containing the alcohol. Begin by adding 9 drops of grape seed oil to the bottle. Add six drops of sandalwood . Place 5 drops of patchouli oil and 3 drops of allspice oil to the bottle. Mix the essential oils and the alcohol until they have been evenly fused together.
Step 2 Allow the mixture of the bottle to sit for 48 hours in a location away out of direct lighting at room temperature

Step 3 Add 1 cup of distilled water to the bottle. Stir slowly for up to two minutes to completely infuse the water. Place the bottle in a dark cool area for a minimum of 23 days and wait for the cologne to develop.
Step 4. Line a strainer to filter out any particles than pour it into a colored glass bottle. Slowly pour the cologne into the bottle allowing the cologne to flow through the filter freely. Any sediment that may have been formed in the bottle will gather at the bottom and will be filter out leaving you with pure cologne. Presto you have just made your first bottle of cologne. The over all aroma of a cologne is dependent on the amount of fragrant oils, alcohol and water combined in the blend. Each blend will smell different and the amount of essential oil is critical. A single drop too much, or too little, will change the characteristic of the cologne entirely.
