Make your house incense !

Je suis très sensible aux odeurs et j’adore parfumé ma maison. I used among other things, of incense, but as many know, incense purchased commercially contains many chemical ingredients. As synthetic fragrances, dyes, solvents, etc.. Here I suggest you make yourself your little incense cones. Of course you will need some very specific ingredients, but then be very easy to find. Contrary to what you might think it is very easy to achieve. For this recipe, which is not the only possible to, you will need…

 

1/2 from powdered incense frankincense *
1 from iris powder
1 from tonka bean into powder
1/4 part of nutmeg
A little water

(accuracy after a few comments on a forum for… must of course be put very little water if it's been a dry cake that not !!!)

Method :
Reduce your incense frankincense powder in a mortar. (This one is very important as it helps to keep your cone, but do not put too much otherwise you will struggle to burn. You can also put other kind of incense or even better gum and / or absolute benzoin). Carefully Rappez your tonka bean. Mix all ingredients together and drip add water to form a stiff dough. Train your small cones and let dry for two to five days.

And here !! Not simple ? Feel free to vary the pleasure, sage, cinnamon, du jasmine, pine resin, absolute benzoin, even a few drops of essential oils in place of a few drops of water. You have to figure !

Use :
Turn the tip of your cone and let burn on a small plate or burner appropriate.

Where to find :
You will find your ingredients easily with a herbalist, even at the grocer for spices and also on some site I have a supplier list here.
For burners you will find several shops and garden decorations.

Je suis toujours dans les rénovations mais voici une recette dont je ne peux me passer depuis quelques jours. Je voulais un parfum d’été tout doux et rafraichissant. A little treat from beach or after renovation ;). I am delighted with the result, a zesty scent and wish to herbé… avec une touche de vanille. Je vous partage la recette ici.

100 ml de vodka
12 tomato leaves cut
zest of one unwaxed lemon
10 ET drops clementine *
10 ET drops blue spruce
12 drops vanilla extract
1 DC iris powder (natural fixative)
or
1 tip of iris extract (natural fixative)

Pour all ingredients together in a sealed pot, style jam. Macerate in a bright room, but not in direct sunlight, for one month. When your juice is ready to filter using a coffee filter and pour in a nice spray bottle.

This compares well perfume cologne has a, sa duré sur la peau n’est pas aussi longue qu’un parfum. Si vous désirez le rendre plus durable faite la recette avec de l’alcool à 90%… un mouillage est préférable pour rendre l’alcool à 80°. Here is Link qui vous expliquera comment faire ce mouillage. Sachez que vous pouvez aussi mouiller votre alcool avec un hydrolat et pas seulement avec de l’eau… here a little orange flower water would be perfect !

*I suggest you the essential oil of tangerine in Aromazone, elle n’est pas photosensibilisante car on l’extrait à froid et ensuite distillé. (cold expression and distillation). If you buy only cold extracted (The most common way) attention… Your perfume will be photosensitizing so avoid the sun.
