FAQs About DIY Vanilla Perfume
1. How long does this perfume last on the skin?
It stays for a few hours, depending on your skin type. Oil-based perfumes last longer, so you can add more vanilla oil if you want a stronger scent that stays for a longer time during the day.
2. Can I use only vanilla extract without essential oils?
Yes, you can use only vanilla extract. The scent will be lighter and softer. Essential oils add depth and strength, so the perfume smells richer and lasts longer throughout the day.
3. Can I use alcohol-free perfume?
Yes, you can skip alcohol. Just use more distilled water. But the scent will fade faster. Alcohol helps the perfume last longer and mix well, so removing it makes the scent lighter and less long-lasting.
4. Is this safe for sensitive skin?
Most people can use this perfume safely, but test a small spot first. Some skin types react to essential oils. Testing helps you avoid irritation before using it fully on your skin or clothes.
5. Can I make different scents with this recipe?
Yes, this recipe works with many oils. You can add lavender, rose, jasmine or citrus oils. You can mix them with vanilla too. It is fun to create your own personal scent blend.
