2)    Add small amounts of water to get things a little lose.
3)    Give it another grind; we’re going for a really thick paste.
4)    Add a splash of alcohol; this helps to extract the oils from the smell goods.

6)    Add some more alcohol and let it sit for a few minutes.
7)    Strain your mixture into an air tight container

The second way to make your own perfume is as follows
1)    Get a mason jar and fill it about half way with alcohol
2)    Throw in your smell good plant parts.
