Now, this is an untested idea, but an idea none the less. My theroy is to take a bunch of cone inscence of your own liking (mix and mingle different scents for cool combinations) grind em up in a coffee grinder until they are a fine powder, then you perform a simple alcohol based extraction on the scented powder, allow the alcohol to evaporate, and scrape up the residual powder, from there you can throw it in a spray bottle with some water, and shake before applying. not sure if it would work, but is anyone willing to give it a try?
you are dealing with particulate matter: possible clogging of a spray bottle. Perhaps the alcohol soak with loosely broken incense could re-extract the oils. Do watch for color changes in the liquid. I commonly get a drop or two of my fave oils and put them in water or alcohol for "body" spray.
that was what i used to do. but with patchouli oil being fifteen bucks for a small vial. smelling like a scruffy hippy is something reserved only for the richest of scruffy hippys
The local occult shop here sells body oils in incense fragrances. I use dragon's blood and sometimes naq champa, he sells patchouli but I haven't tried it. The vials are 2 for $7.
OK. Here's the money math on this. I'm using the highest cost P in the area, from Isis Books (pagan new age witchy-poo store) The vial was $18. Twice all the other oils. I don't suggest these folks. My spray bottle holds 10 oz of water. To scent the bottle, I use 3 drops (plus one drop of tangerine as a top note, but let's leave that out for now). the vial looks to hold a couple hundred drops, easily, based on the level after I first used it. Let's call it 150 drops which makes up for a spill along the way. 150 drops=$18 150 drops is 50 refills of the bottle. 36 cents per bottle fill.
