Ok so i did some reading on making perfume. I thought i would just put some cinamon sticks and rose petals in alcohol and then make perfume from that. Apparently they just buy fucking essential oils and combine them together. Wtf? Also apparently a lot of perfumes are made from synthetics! Entirely in a lab with 0 natural ingredients.
Pretty eye opening and dissaponting. No wonder i always thought perfume smell weird and not in a good way. Its mostly fake shit.
So for people with experience, can i just put some cinamon sticks in alcohol, wait a few months and use that as perfume?

>t. Retard

I feel like you morons failed chemistry class. The only difference between something “all natural” and “synthetic” is a few chemicals.
The prime component of cinnamon can be produced from styrene. Cinnamaldehyde constitutes over 90% of the composition of natural cinnamon, with the other 10% being cellulose, water, and trace chemicals and byproducts.

And no, eating Cinnamaldehyde isn’t toxic or poisonous. All you “reee its not natural fags” do is contribute to the destruction of entire forests just because of your autistic obsession with “all natural flavourings” and the over harvesting of their native plants.

The only substitute I’d prefer for vanillin is actual vanilla since its composition is complex and vanillin only makes up a portion of it.
However vanilla is incredibly tedious to cultivate, harvest, and grow. With vanilla pods only occurring every few years.
So don’t go bitching about “nooo it’s not hekin natural and sheeit” when chemical alternatives do just fine.

Sure, esthers are a source of varies smells, many are fruity and popular with too young girls.
Still, that should not stop you from making your own. You can make it from plants and flowers, and you can also use very similar techniques for making traditional European alcohols:

when I was a little kid I loved to climb trees. We moved to a house that had a pine tree. I climbed it ONCE. pine sap, never again.

Is it entirely a one mak operation? Manufacturing "in house"? Minimal material costs? I am in posession of a similar device with some production capabilities that have provided an array of tantalizing aromas with superior diffusion capabilities and of legendary longevity. Still figuring out the materials and proportions required to make them a real party favourite, looks like a trip to the grocery store...

When I was in 4th grade we were learning about the native americans, at some point in a book it claimed that they use pine tree sap like chewing gum...
Well I'll tell you it tasted absolutely terrible.

I grow a lot of yellow sweet blossom clover in my hay fields. It smells amazing when baled up at the right stage. My wife has commented that if she could bottle that up and use it as perfume she would never buy any other scent again.

What would be the easiest/most effective way to take either fresh flowers or dried flowers and turn into a perfume? I would assume the fresh flowers would be more potent? What solvent should a person use to leach the aroma out of the plant material?

I put Finlandia's winter wheat vodka in a perfume bottle and add my own essential oils, usually just lavender and rose scented geranium.

It gets even trickier when the natural ingredients are expensive, so to maximize extraction of the oils, after the mechanical crushing, they also add in solvents, like the petro product hexane, commonly used for canola, but also increasingly palm and olives, and the production of vitamin E. So if something is labelled 99% natural, as my Divine Essence Calendula oil was, chances are that 1 percent is hexane vitamin E -- given how expensive and how high the demand for shea butter and avocado oil is, hexane -- they don't have to list it as an ingredient as it's just used for the process....

it's mostly water, which can't dissolve oil (smell, flavor), so no, dried should work better
