I think by the 8th time of her calling me a girl I genuinely started to question my sexuality. All I wanted was to find out how to make a perfume for my mum...

I remember a few years ago this girl was bullying me and said that I smelled bad so I went home and grabbed an empty perfume bottle and I filled it up with the worst smelling this I could find and the next day I threw the bottle in her backpack with the lid open a little bit. Oops #NoRegrets

the plants should be dry. adding any water to oil creates a breeding ground for bacteria.
when I was small..I did a lot of parfumes with flowers and other stuff and I started selling them to my friends

Well, it was quite a few years back. I was (still am) saving this little bottle of Windsong perfume that only had a drop (if that) of perfume left in the bottle. I was wondering how I couldl prolong the life of the rest of the perfume. I ended up discovering Rubbing Alcolhol (70% at the time, now I use 91%) works very well to prolong the life of genuine perfume, essential oils (eo's) or whatever you have that smells good...even your, "medley" would work! I made some really great smelling room spray just using the Rubbing Alcohol and some sage leaves! OMG!!! Sooo wonderful! TFS luv! ♥ dig
I luv u. You are the only one that will be realistic and use things that people actually have or can get easy access to them. You rock!!!
I used roses,vanilla beans and lemons it smelled like a beautiful garden!

Does it really work? I am trying to use these steps as my demo speech presentation in class. How long exactly did you keep the medley before you harvest its odour?
Add a little wax, pour into a small tin or small lidded jar, and you can make a solid perfume :) love that combination, you're so creative!!!!!
EASY WAY: use lotion and water shake it really good BAM

Such a relief to find your channel! Simple and short video! Thank you!!!
I love this, can not wait to try it out. I love oils because the smell last longer, I would use a roller perfume bottle instead of the spray bottle. Very Excited. Thank you, I love your channel.
You can use Vodka or Gin which will remove the oily step and it will be ready in 48hrs, however, I am going for the six months by adding something floral, herbal, fruity or wood scent once a week. Great video
Soak vanilla bean and sweet smelling rose petals and if you can freesias in water for around 3-4 days tgen thank me later

I made a blend of rose and lavender and i put water and the blend inside a coffee filter, making it a way faster version. After all the water filtered through, i squeezed the excess out and put it into the perfume bottle. It was very strong, just how i like it. If you like strong and not watered down or subtle perfume like me, use this method.
I love your channel so much! And I so love your DIYs, they are so great.
I will definitely have a go tomorrow. Also, I use this way. I get a normal spray bottle (medium sized) Put hair condition gel and hand lotion- add water. Mix. Done! Its been working fine and doesn't dry my skin :D It smells lovely, depending on the scent of your conditioner.

When u spray that on your wrist for instance... will it not make that part oily because the base is oil. Imagine that sprayed on your dress.. n that part of the dress kinda becomes oily...

Does anyone know any alternatives to oil? Maybe commercial perfumes use some oil but I can't imagine they use much, otherwise my clothes would be badly stained by now. Also, is it really necessary to use a full 3 cups of medley? I want to make a perfume scented with anise stars, cloves, and cardamom pods, which are rather potent spices. And what would be the best way to use tea in the medley? If I used tea, would it color the perfume and leave stains? Lol sorry for so many questions.

I would suggest pure alcohol like spiritus, it also helps conserving the perfume
i like to make my own cosmetics either for myself or for selling them. but i just do this simply by mixing storebought cosmetics that are as cheap but as of highest quality for its price as possible (like elf and bys cosmetics) and mix them and voila. but i wanted to start from scratch so ive come to find your channel and now im subscribed to it!!

I LOVED THE WAY YOU SAID ' BCZ I LLOVE IT ' 1:56
Lilacs are my fav flowers!!!
Best perfume making video EVER!!!
thanks so much, i have some purfume but i had it for a long time and got bored of it and have a lot left and there to expensive to buy..thanks!!❤
This is great. Can't wait to try it.
I got a cup of water and catnip with some nutmeg and I also got like 4 drops of lemon and it smelt so good!
1:56 I loooove how she says she loooove it.
I will totally try this!
That perfume you made looks like it smells good!!!
i love watching your bloopers so funny
i did it and it worked! thanks for saving me some money, but not time though!
Jamie i used water instead and it works GREAT!
Your DIY videos are just the best! :)
I love you . You always make my day Whitney
Vanilla and lemon/citrus is a really nice scent, and the soft vanilla kinda tones down the harshness of the citrus smell. Also, peanut goes well with vanilla. Maybe I just like vanilla? Lol.
Thanks for sharing this brilliant idea!!
I love your channel!!! Girl power! 🌼
Loved it! Oh and to everyone asking to substitute oils, do not use anything but what she suggested. Vegetable oil is bad for your skin, the oils she described are very good for you, and no they don't leave you oily, because they are light oils and provide many benefits to your hair, skin, and nails beyond making perfume. You can find the oils at any grocery store and supplies, I suggest walmart. Be resourceful my D.I.Yista's and always do your research before putting anything on your skin!
It helps if you use witch hazel and all sorts of things!
thank you Jamie now I can do it for a late mothers day gift
I love jamies do it gurl videos they're amazing xx
I love your can-do spirit! :)
Thank you Jamie, I'm a HUGE fan of you!
tryed it ... it works really good thx : )
I'm working on this right now! I used lemon, orange, random flower and cinnamon!
Love it , thx for sharing 👏
I love perfume and this was uploaded on my birthday!!!! :DDD
Wow I love this channel, I am subscribing!
Mine smells like vanilla, rose and orange!!! I'm your biggest fan Jamie!!! I love you Jamie!!! °3°
mine smells like cinnamon roses and orange and smells AWESOME!
I used a red and pink rose tock some water let the flower die in the water then put them in a spray bottle I gavel mine to my aunt and mom they said it smelled great and it really did
It's good . . . If you want oily skin and clothes along with stains which is hard to remove
i love the bloopers at the end lol
i love the do it gurl diy videos.
Cool I'm going to try this thanks for the idea
I'm going do all of this during summer vacation
Woah that is sooo easy!.... Except for the wait part ☺
best demo i seen so far:]
I love Jamie so much😄😄😄
this looks real good and real fun... i think i'll try it :)
love it i'll try it
Well, I do have mint, roses, lemon and basil in the garden. I have almond oil too. Maybe just roses for a starter, let's see.
Then what about that oil which is removed first from medley?? Is that essential oil too?? Can we use that??
I love the videos, your ideas are fantastic!
Your so helpful with everything
Awesome! So easy! Tyfs!
I'm glad you made this it helps I would tell you why but I can't but it's not obveus being a kid right?
Soooo going to do this !
lol u are sooo funny like honestly! bruh, u are soo talented! :)
lol when I was 5 I took rose petals and put it in water for overnight it didn't work lol but later I put in leaves and glitter and put it in a potion bottle and I took it to school and everyone thought it would turn you into a fairy.. I was obsessed with magical things and potions and Disney
I'm sooo gonna try this out with rose petals! :D
You can also mix the essential oils with perfumer's or isopropyl alcohol
I put some rose petals in boiling water, sifted it and squeezed the color out of the rose petals so it was pink, and put it in the fridge and ta-da!!
Awesome :D I made it & seriously it smelled good
I love how it's smell
I tried your process with lilies, ginger, lemon peel and grapeseed oil (we were making rose perfume in class but I wanted to try different methods). However, I waited about 4 weeks (out of sight...) and I did open the jar a couple of times to smell what was happening. When I opened it up this morning there was a little bit of rancidity to it, though I was impressed that at the bottom of the jar it actually smelled like something alcohol. I guess my question is - did the rancid smell come from my having opened the jar early...and not putting it into the fridge after; or did it happen because I left the oil for 4 weeks instead of two? What do you think? Thanks.
Looks fun and creative I'm gonna try it for sure:)
You can use essential oils with some alcohol and water. It sprays out fine and isn't super oily.
it smells really good
me gusto mucho es genial.asi puedo preparar mi propio perfume. gracias.
