Hair Perfumes

There is a strong longing among women today to return to the familiar scents that once made a significant fragment of a very remote past.

Perfumes have long been part of our “aromatic” history dating back as far as the Assyrian and Egyptian civilizations where it is usually said that queens, princesses, and court ladies produced their desired perfumes by “imitating” the fragrances of their gardens, the forest covers that their empires owned, and the gift of spices and oils from visiting ambassadors of neighboring countries. In their royal rooms, they would invent smells by combining essences into new, sense-soothing flavors for their skin and hair.

This is not far from what nature has made available to us today in our own backyards. By just being more sensitive to the smells available to us and our preferences, we could create perfume variants that suit our tastes like the ladies of old. One has just to survey her own garden and maybe some nearby store where essential oils are available.

It is really very easy. To get started, all one has to do is to take one full cup of one’s choice of freshly chopped flower blossoms soaked in one full cup of mineral water. Blossoms are, then, placed in a clean sheet of cheesecloth inside a bowl before pouring a cup of mineral water into the flowers. There are no tricks here because basically, the immersed flower blossoms have just to be left in the bowl overnight and when morning comes the next day, as one squeezes the cheesecloth, you will be surprised at the flower essence one has produced naturally. You can store the perfume essence inside an airtight jar or bottle in a dry place. The essence is good for a month.

If you’re the type who loves the smell of a garden after a rain and want to bring that smell in the sleeves of your clothes, skin or hair wherever you go, you could try mixing ethyl alcohol or vodka, bergamot, sandalwood, and cassis essential and fragrance oils, and distilled water. The measurement? Well, it's all up to you. If you want more of that sandalwood scent to dominate, you could put more of that. The point is to allow yourself the luxury of choosing and deciding on your own ingredients. After about 12-15 hours of settling, the perfume is ready for use.

If you are the type who would like to relive the exotic olfactory pleasures of the Orient, you could combine musk, jojoba, sandalwood, and frankincense oils to your liking. With the same procedures above, another perfume variation of an Oriental accent is available for use.

If you don't want that "scalpy" smell right after a bath, there are also perfumes that could be applied to the hair to eliminate those unwelcome possibilities throughout the day. Again, don't forget to do this with the ingredients of your choice and in the way you want to apply it.

In essence, this is about today's women enjoying the choice of how she could return where the empresses, queens, and princesses of old left off.
