DIRECTIONS:
TIPS:
ALTERNATIVES:
- Pour ¼ cup of the chosen carrier oil in a bottle
- Add 12 drops of your favourite essential oil or make a combo for a scented bouquet
- Add a splash of vodka
TIPS:
- Be sure to rotate the reeds often, about once a week, to help keep the aroma mingling.
- The smaller the neck of the bottle the better. This prevents the scent from evaporating.
- Experiment with different combinations – until you have found your signature scent.
ALTERNATIVES:
- REEDS:
- To add a little pizzazz use dried plants around the house ex. Dried Hydrangea stalks or any porous wood will do the trick
- CARRIER OIL:
- Water can be used as an alternative, however, the solution will evaporate faster.
- Dipropylene Glycol (cosmetic grade)
- Baby oil
