karma: 5 |  One of my BM gifts - Personalized Perfume
I've been slowly buying my BMs' gifts and wanted to give them something a little more personalized and just for them. I came up with the idea to make customized perfume. I wanted something beachy smelling (obviously lol).
I found this awesome website Scent Design - Custom Designed Fragrances and you can chose from many different scents and they tell you how you should use them (a hint of.. 1st note.. 2nd note and so on). I bought each of them the roll-on which is 1/3 ounce and you chose 3 scents. The price.... $10 each!!
My scents that I used were:
APRICOT: Sun-kissed, juicy fragrance of the summer fruit. Not too sweet; this is a nice, summer type scent
COCONUT: Tropical, nutty sweetness. Close your eyes and feel the island breeze while you sip that refreshing, sweet coconut milk!
a touch of CITRUS: A wonderful blend of orange, lemon and lime. Bright, bold and crisp; a great wake-me-up scent. Best for 'Add a touch of...'
I got them in the mail so quick!! and.. they smell SO GOOD!! I was a lil worried but everything is great!
Here's my pics:
I took off their label and put my own that I printed up on clear address labels. 
This is what my label looks like.  |
