The following are a few rose perfume recipes: ** 1. How to make an alcoholic rose perfume ** 1. ** Preparing Work ** - Choose 1 - 3 roses (the specific amount of roses depends on its type and the size of the petals) and gently wash the roses with cold water. The purpose is to remove the fertilizer, dirt, insects and other dirty things on the petals, but do not dry the petals after washing, because if the water is too hot, some of the fragrant oil in the petals will be lost. 2. ** Picking petals ** - He grabbed the stem with one hand and plucked the petals one by one with the other until he had picked 3/4 cup of petals. It was suitable for any color or variety of roses. When picking, be careful not to be pricked by the thorns on the branches. If you are afraid of being pricked, you can use a thorn clip to scrape off the thorns first. 3. ** Soak the petals ** - Put the petals into a large glass jar with a lid that can hold at least 5 cups of water (a wide-mouthed glass jar with a screw cap is more suitable), then pour in a cup of vodka (40% - 50% vodka is the best), soak the petals for 24 hours. The glass jar should be placed in a dark and cool place such as a cupboard. Do not put it in the refrigerator (the humidity of the refrigerator is too high). 4. ** Smashing Petals ** - Use a large wooden spoon to pound the petals in the glass jar for 45 seconds. It is not recommended to use a metal spoon (it will make the perfume contain metal components), nor is it recommended to use a pair of nests (it may lose some rose oil). 5. ** Add water and continue to soak ** - He poured 2 1/2 cups of distilled water (sold in supermarkets or drugstores) into a glass jar. The more water he added, the lighter the perfume smell. Then, he covered the jar and placed it in a dark and cool place for 4 - 7 days. During this period, he used a wooden spoon to pound and stir the petals every day. After each stirring, he immediately covered the jar. 6. ** Filtered and bottled ** - He used a fine-mesh filter spoon to remove the petals from the mixture, then poured the filtered liquid into a glass bottle and covered it tightly. It was best to keep the homemade perfume in the refrigerator so that it would not go bad for a month. When used, it can be sprayed on the wrist, neck and other parts of the body with high temperature, and the fragrance will be stronger. ** 2. Aromatic Rose Water (alcohol-free) Production Guide ** 1. ** Prepare flower petals and water ** - Collect 1/2 cup of fresh rose petals and place them in a medium-sized bowl. Soak the petals in cold water to wash away the contamination. 2. ** First time soaking petals ** - While pouring half a cup of water into the bowl, stir the petals. Soak the petals for about 5 minutes. The longer you soak them, the stronger the fragrance. 3. ** Filtered and processed petals again ** - Prepare another bowl, place the filter net spoon at the mouth of the bowl, pour in water and petals (if you don't have a net spoon, you can replace it with gauze). After filtering, leave the water in the bowl and the petals in the colander. Then, use the wooden spoon to pound and stir the petals again (you can also tear them up by hand). 4. ** Second soak ** - He poured the water from the second bowl into the bowl with the petals and let the petals soak for at least 5 minutes. 5. ** Repeat filtering and stirring until color changes ** - He filtered it repeatedly and stirred it vigorously until the water turned brownish-yellow (if the petals were dark, such as crimson, the water might turn reddish-brown). When stirring, he should try his best not to spill the water and reduce the rose water. 6. ** Finally filtered and bottled ** - After filtering the petals and squeezing out the remaining water in the petals, he poured the water into the empty perfume bottle with a small funnel. The rose water was ready. ** 3. Use base oil to make rose perfume (another method)** 1. ** Prepare to pick petals ** - Be careful when picking rose petals. Wear long-sleeved clothes and gloves. Choose flowers with intact petals, bright colors, and no pests. Cut the petals with sharp scissors (for flowers with thorns) to avoid grabbing them directly with your hands. Prepare a container for the petals before picking them. 2. ** Washing the petals ** - Wash the petals with cold water. Before washing, place the petals on a clean surface to check if there are leaves, stamens or other impurities attached. When washing, use a soft towel or paper towel to gently pat dry or use a small brush to clean the dirt and impurities. You can also put the roses in the market first in clear water and then gently wipe them with a paper towel. After washing, it was best to dry the petals. 3. ** Soak the petals ** - Put the dried petals into a transparent glass bottle and pour in enough base oil (such as olive oil, sweet almond oil, etc., olive oil is suitable for making heavier perfume, sweet almond oil is suitable for making lighter perfume, jojoba oil, grape seed oil, evening primrose oil, etc.) to ensure that the petals are completely covered by the base oil.
