Natural Perfumes
To make your own perfume, mix your constitutional base oil with your favorite blend of essential oils.
Start with 4 drops essential oil for every ounce of base oil.
You can go up from there if it’s not potent enough.
Vata Nature: Use almond or sesame oil as the base oil
Pitta Nature: Sunflower or coconut oil as the base oil
Kapha Nature: Use safflower oil as the base oil
