Ever wonder how they get the perfume from the flowers?

Want to make your own essential oils for soaps, incense, perfume, etc.?

You don't need a chemistry lab!!
Just a coffee can, some coat hangers, a little ingenuity and a light bulb!

If anyone is interested, I can do a tutorial.

I don't think I would actually do it myself, but I would be interested in seeing the tutorial. But don't create one just so I can see it...

I extract citronella oil and use it as cologne/insect repellent in the summer.
I LOVE the smell of that stuff! (...and bugs do not)
But you can take the oils/smells of pretty much any flowers you like.

I'd be interested in seeing a tutorial on it also. It would be great to smell Lilacs in the winter.

I'll see what I can do without getting into too many levels of purification, and without using any chemicals you cannot get at your local drug store or Meijers. The stuff I make is just a simple rinse, and I like to drip the citronella oil on the woodstove as incense. It makes the whole house smell good. I also have other oils I do this with as well. Some people just drip the oil on a hot light bulb, but I would think you'd have to clean the crap off occasionally.

Or, like Granny Clampet does with the vanilla extract, you could rub a little behind yer ears.
