Sure thing! This is a simple home recipe and goes like this:
Essensial oils:
8 drop Rose
6 drop Clove
21 drops Nutmeg
4 drops Cinnamon
15 drops pepper
36 drops Lavender
Mix and leave for one month, shaking it up well on blend and as you remember it - each couple days is great. After one month, add your alcohol. I like my alcohol strong and my perfume light, so I add 150 ml of 170 proof / 85% alcohol. Shake vigorously and leave for a week, there should be no unmixed oils if you follow these instructions. I would not recommend less than 100 ml in any instance. This is a light one, expect it to be gone in 4 hours after application. Cedarwood would work well in this mix and would add a lot in staying power, but I am happy with it as a light summer splash. A little less alcohol would also increase the stay, try 100 ml if you want.
From my own notes: Nicely masculine, the lavender does not feel soapy and the spices make it a non-sweet, almost dry scent.
Best of luck.Last edited by str8fencer; 06-13-2011 at 05:03 PM. Reason: typos and add-ons
