Heidi's honeysuckle perfume

My perfume recipe is inexact, as I have fiddled around with it somewhat and lost track of some of the additions (cardinal sin of the aromatherapist!). Basically, it's 3 drops sandalwood, 3 drops lemon, 3 drops helicrysum, 5 drops synthetic honeysuckle, with the odd drop of rose otto thrown in for good measure. This would be for like a 1/2 ounce bottle of jojoba carrier oil.

The wonderful thing, of course, is that the recipe can be adjusted to each individual. I added more sandalwood oil today to mine b/c I added more for my larger 2 ounce bottle. I was finding that it wasn't lasting very long (those florals and citrus oils really dissipate fast).

Spam is a very famous perfume recipe, invented by our original mad scientist (aka Igor I), carole. Some have used vanilla rather than patchouli, thus producing SVAM.

Sandalwood: 1 part
Patchouli: 1 part
Amber: 1/2 part
Musk (dark): 1/2 part
