My daughter has been trying to make perfume by keeping flowers in water since she was 4. 😂 Finally, she made her first tincture, thanks to you! ❤

i just tried this with a bunch of flowers/herbs from my backyard and made the most delicious smelling perfume!! thank you for the tutorial!

the everclear was hard to find but it’s worth it. i left it sit for ~29 hours and the alcohol aroma is completely replaced by a light floral aroma!

for anyone curious i used 75% gardenia flowers, a basil flower, a few pieces of rosemary and sage, petunias, and stuffed the rest of the jar with dried lavender :) it smells musky and fruity and just what i was looking for <3

I was wondering if gardenia flowers would work?? My mother has a gardenia plant that is full of very fragrant flowers.

[JaveXtian]

i used rubbing alcohol.. nice it works... try it! any alcohol is possible bcoz they are made up of acid that can extract scent from petals

[SylvusPresley]

What if I cannot get Everclear in my state?? Would I be able to use rubbing alcohol?…👀👀Or vodka???

[kenshinbattousai]

Can you use denatured alcohol? That's what they put in all commercial perfume.

Are you supposed to use just the petals or can you use the pollen, stamen, etc?
