Gathering Your Materials

You will need some things before you start:

• Rose petals (preferably from your own garden)
• Distilled water (it’s water that’s extra clean)
• Witch hazel or unscented rubbing alcohol
• Two clean jars with tight-fitting lids
• Strainer or cheesecloth
• Small bottle (for your finished perfume)
• Funnel (to transfer your perfume without spills)

Picking the Perfect Petals

Choosing the right roses is very important:

Remember to pick roses that haven’t been sprayed with chemicals.

Steps to Make Your Perfume

Follow these simple steps carefully:

1. Gather the petals – Pick about one cup of fresh rose petals.
2. Rinse the petals – Gently wash them with water.
3. Prepare your jar – Place the petals in the jar.
4. Add distilled water – Pour enough water to cover the petals.
5. Close and store the jar – Place it in a cool, dark place for 24 hours.
6. Strain the petals – Use the strainer or cheesecloth to do this.
7. Add witch hazel/alcohol – Mix it with the rose water in the second jar.
8. Let it rest – Store your mixture for a week in a cool, dark place.
9. Final strain – Use cheesecloth to remove any leftover petal bits.
10. Bottle your perfume – Use the funnel to fill up your small bottle.

And there you have it, your own rose perfume!

• Be patient – the longer it rests, the stronger your perfume.
• Store properly – keep your perfume in a cool, dark place.
