The art of making perfume goes back to ancient times. Making perfume began in ancient Egypt where they used fragrances in their religious ceremonies. The ancient Egyptians believed they could communicate with the many Egyptian Gods and Goddesses by sending up scented smoke. Perfume actually means “through smoke.” Perfumery was further developed and refined by the Romans, the Persians and the Arabs.

You can join this long tradition by making your own perfume! This article shares a homemade perfume recipe that reminds me of California: citrusy orange and grapefruit blended with lavender and peppermint. GerberMom developed the recipe and provides clear directions and terrific step-by-step photographs.
