Spirits can scream. Or they can breathe. I choose the latter.
On the island, scent is not a trail. It is air. It sits on the skin like a shadow on a stone. I make my own misty perfumes – it is water with essential oils that I know and love. Sometimes a drop of rose, sometimes neroli. Sometimes just lavender.
It's not a "perfume", it's a state. You put it on your pillow. On your wrist. Into the open window before bed.
Foggy Perfume Recipe (DIY Spray)
Base:
30 ml hydrolat (best of all - rose water or lavender)
1 tsp alcohol (to fix the aroma) - can be replaced with vodka
Aromatic composition (example):
3 drops rose essential oil
2 drops of neroli
1 drop of lavender
optional - 1 drop of sandalwood or bergamot
💧 How to cook:
Take a glass spray bottle (preferably dark glass)
Add essential oils
Pour in the alcohol and shake a little.
Then add hydrolat
Let it brew for 1-2 days in a cool place.
☁️ How to use:
Spray in the room, on linen or in the air before bed.
On the pillow - for sleeping
On the inside of the wrists - morning or evening
In the closet - between the fabrics
