What ingredients does a fragrance have?
Although materials may vary, the basic ingredients you will need are:

- Liquid glycerin: Helps to fix the aroma.
- Dimethicone and dye (Optional): For longer duration and a touch of color.
How to make homemade fragrance step by step (Detailed method)
- Preparation of the Alcohol: If you want to make 100ml of fragrance, mix 70ml of alcohol with 5ml of liquid glycerin.
