I liked looking at the list that other people submitted of the perfumes they made. Gave me some ideas as to what combos would go good together.

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.

Okay I ordered:

 

1 x mango, coconut and a touch of citrus (for BM)

1 x pink grapefruit, coconut and a touch of citrus (for BM)

1 x melon, cucumber and a touch of dewberry (for me)

1 x vanilla and blackberry (for my sister)

2 x frangipani, freesia and a touch of bergamot (for the moms)

 

Waaaayyy cheaper for me to get it shipped to my friends' sister in Seattle. So not sure how long it will take to get to me but I can't wait!!!

Depending on how my budget is, I might make more (different smells though) for my wedding favors for the women going. I think its so cute and personal.
