Procedure:

Things you need:
•    Glass bottle beeswax (available at most craft shops) or petroleum jelly
•    Essential oils (of your choice) Example almond oil or jojoba oil or vitamin E - available at natural foods/health stores or any of your choice.
•    Glass bottle Shea butter (deodorized), Cocoa butter, Vitamin E, Beeswax, Heat-proof glass cup
•    Plastic mixing bowl Spatula Small glass or 1 small glass jar or Pyrex bowl for mixing or tin jar for storage.
•    8-15 drops essential oil (available from most health food stores.)
•    1 container (preferably glass, ceramic or stone but plastic is acceptable)
•    1 straw (or similar object)

The ingredients can be purchased from online beauty wholesalers. In some cases, they can also be found at local food stores. Mix and match different essential oils to create a customized scent. You must take care in when handling the glass cup and melting the beeswax and butters.

First you can pour about 3 to 5 drops of each essential oil into a small glass bottle. Add more or less based on which essential oils you want as the top notes, middle notes and base notes in your solid perfume. The more drops you add, the stronger the scent of the essential oil in your finished perfume. Allow the oils to mellow in the bottle for 1 to 2 days. This enhances the natural fragrance of each oil, making it stronger. After that Place a half tablespoon of shea butter, half a teaspoon of cocoa butter, half a teaspoon of vitamin E (or one liquid capsule) and one tablespoon of beeswax in a heat-proof glass cup, then place the cup in a hot water bath until the butter and wax have melted. Remove the cup from the hot water bath.

Add essential oils from step 1 to the butter/wax mixture. Stir the mixture with a spatula to blend the oils and waxes thoroughly. Finally pour the finished mixture into a glass or tin jar. An old, empty solid perfume container is best if you have one. Allow the solid perfume mixture to cool and harden inside the container before use.
