Making Perfume By The Quart: A do-it-yourself project book

Illustrated with 28 color photographs. Online sources for everything you need. Many who love perfume dream of having their own -- but it can seem too complicated, too "from another world." Making Perfume By The Quart brings it down to earth for you in ten remarkably easy to understand chapters of instructions that guide you through the complete production process, from concept to finished perfume. But you make just one quart. By agreeing (with yourself) that you will make just one quart of perfume, you leapfrog the two obstacles that might otherwise hold you back: (1) cost and (2) fear of messing it up. By setting out to produce just one quart of perfume you reduce the cost of your investment from thousands of dollars to pocket change. And by setting out to produce just one quart of perfume you eliminate the fear of messing up. If you aren't satisfied with the results of your project, no one has to know and nothing has been lost but you've gained valuable experience and might even want to try again! While much is written about perfume -- the beautiful fragrances... the beautiful bottles -- little information is available on the "mechanics" of perfume production -- the steps that take place on the "factory floor" where a beautiful vision is turned into a finished product, a "ready to sell" perfume. Now you can experience all of these steps, hands on, by making just one quart of your own perfume. If you follow each chapter and do what you are instructed to do, you will end up with from 8 to 64 bottles of your own perfume, depending on the capacity of the bottles you select. Along this "insiders journey," each step is profusely illustrated with professional color photographs and you'll learn -- Exactly what alcohol you'll need and where to get it. - Why you'll want (just a little!) water in your perfume. - What type bottles you'll need and why you cannot use others. - Why you will use a spray and not a cap. - How to fill and seal your bottles. - How to label your bottles with the correct information so they will be legal for sale. - How to select a name for your perfume that will allow you to acquire powerful trademark rights free . If you are a developer of scents you are encouraged to use one of your own for this project. If you are not a scent creator yourself you'll learn how to get a fragrance oil that is exactly right for this project. Online sources are given for all required supplies and materials. Nothing can hold you back from starting your project immediately!
