àI like making and selling my perfumes as Pure Parfum Extraits,
and sell them as 3mL vials. If you’d like to make this as an oil- or
alcohol-based fragrance, see below.

To make a 10mL Bottle of Finished Perfume:

**It is best if a certain period of time can be taken to allow this

Pure Extrait to marry and mature. It is not necessary, but the extra
time taken to do this is very much worth the wait.

àIt is best if a minimum of 6 months can be taken to mature the

composition. If I am short on time, 1-2 days will work; and 2
weeks would be even better.
