One of my hobbies is perfume making. I mix custom fragrance oils from the purest egyptian essential oils to suit the tastes and personalities, or growth needs, or tarot readings of friends. These are my ingredients. Here are some examples of my perfume recipes. They are strong oils that can be mixed with body lotions, massage oils, or used to scent incense.
The ingredients cost me $4-10/bottle for 1 1/2 to - 2" vials. The Blue Chamomile (smells like ancient Nile swamp) costs me $10 for a vial 1/2" tall. The oils are generally quite pure and I have things like almond and grapeseed oil to extend them.
It generally takes me an hour to put together a formula. Usually my method is through some active medition with the person there with me. I could also formulate on a persons desired life-energy destinations and archetype keys, or simply follow some formula they prescribe themselves.
$12 for a 3/4" vial (1 1/2" tall w/ dipstick cap), or $20 for a 1/2" x 1 1/2" bottle (1 7/8" w/ screw cap) sounds about right.
If you were to give a formula, you should specify by scent strength rather than volume percentage. 5% volume of essential almond could overpower everything else. If you read my formulas, you'll see I group on base,mid,highs and other collective components - a variety of mints could form the slight mint group, while simply listing several mints independentally would end up with too much mint influence.
A few of my oils like cinnamon can burn the skin, and wormwood isn't recommended in any fashion a person might bodily interact with. Knowing whethar it is intended for skin, baths, incense, or water burning would be helpful.
Currently I use these oils. Those in red-orange are from Lotus, those in blue-violet are from Panpipes. Any additional ingredients I require I will acquire on the net or make a local visit to Panpipes. Those in blue-green are from B and W imports or other suppliers (and may not be of the highest quality). They have a great selection of incense.
