First it was soap making, I loved dousing them in 100% essential oil but the smell dissipates to quickly so I found the perfume essential oil out last the others so I started using that instead, its also cheaper. Then I found out about making my own aftershave but hit a snag when the local alcohol laws were 150 proof at best so I found out how to ferment and distill my own alcohol to get it as strong as possible and here is were 100 % essential oils shine it'll keep its scent far longer in an enclosed bottle then out in the open like soap.
