I have been blending oils for some time now, using various ingredients with alcohol. For some added depth I was hoping to add dried herbs to the bottles I store my concoctions in.
Does this work?
Thanks for your help!Can you use dried herbs when making a fragrance from oils?
yes you can, you can make an infusion or a tincture
but why are you adding alcohol???
use an oil such as sweet almond, it is much better
and then your infusions or tinctures will be smoother and more fragrant
and when you use dried herbs, cut quantity by a third for fresh herbs as they are more potent
can i also ask what is it exactly that you are trying to make
i make a lot of things, i use all natural products i make myself, soap, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, moisturizer, lip balm, etc
but i also make rememdies, and flavoured oils
if i were using herbs i pick ones that i grow and add them, bruise them and add fresh to oil, it releases their flavour, or effect into the oil
