Step 3Making your scent.
The disillate needs to be kept in an air-tight container.
Try a variety of materials to extract the oils. They will not always smell the same after extraction as before, as some oils are easier to distil this way.
Try:
Scented leaves like lavender, mint or thyme.
Flowers - roses or violets are good.
Fruits like citrus or apple peels or pears
"Green" smells, like mosses, or leaves and twigs fresh from the tree, nuts and kernels like almond or a cracked-open peach-stone.
Spices, like cinnamon stick, liquorice root or vanilla pod.
When you have a "library" of scents, try blending them to achieve the affect you want. Make sure you add them to a clean container, and use a separate dropper pipette for each raw oil, otherwise you will mix them in unexpected ways.
We used lavender, orange peel, lemon peel and lime peel, both separately and together in the flask.

Edible almonds don't produce the chemical (glycoside amygdalin) that turns into prussic acid (hydrogen cyanide).
