Meet Four In Hand "driver" Hannah Hooton, a multiple award-winning author and screenwriter based in UK.
Back in the day, Hannah traveled around Australia, roaming from one racing stable to another as a strapper, taking care of racehorses like what we Americans call a groom.
Afterward, her spirit of adventure and, in her words, "the exuberant imagination of a girl with an empty purse and a passion for a very expensive sport," eventually became her debut contemporary romance. At Long Odds.
That thirst for adventure prompted her to explore indie publishing, which resulted in the Amazon bestselling Aspen Valley contemporary romance series, featuring a National Hunt racing yard in rural England. As of this writing, her fourth book in the series titled Making the Running just released.
Hannah says, the books may be read and enjoyed as stand-alones. We also want to mention these novels are written for an adult audience in the equestrian romance genre.
Without further ado, let's pass the reins to Hannah, our Four In Hand driver:

Running on insufficient caffeine, too little to help my sleepy brain simply read a chart that computes with the International Date Line, so please bear with me.
There'll be a live stream of show jumping from the Tamworth Peel River Produce Indoor Show Jumping Championships from New South Wales in Australia, courtesy of iEquine.
Here's the link to the live stream which should start on the east coast of the US today, Friday 13, 2015, about 4 pm EST.
The east coast of the US is about eight hours (gosh, I hope that's correct) ahead of Australia, so it just turned Friday there as I write this at 8 am EST. That said, if the action begins at 8 am there, it'll be 4 pm here on the east coast of the US.
Here's a class sheet. The event lasts through the weekend. Enjoy!
Off to get more caffeine …

When I first began this blog in 2008, we didn't have as many options for watching televised equestrian events, even racing. We had regular TV, cable TV, or satellite TV, which was like having all the cable channels so you could watch what you wanted off the satellite.
Seems like they're everywhere!

Because of popular demand from readers, this installment will discuss the principles and calculations that underlie the lack-of-fit (LOF) test. Recall from part 10 (American Laboratory, March 2004) that this test helps the user decide if the selected model explains the data adequately. The test is based on the residual "pattern," which was discussed in part 9 (American Laboratory, February 2004), and is a formal, numerical evaluation of one aspect of the pattern (i.e., comparing the amount of residual variation at each concentration with the amount of variation in residual means between concentrations).
To understand lack of fit, it is helpful to consider first the objectives of calibration (or of regression performed on any set of y-versus-x data). In the ideal situation, each true concentration (or x value) would lead to replicate responses that are exactly the same and the adequate model would exactly intersect all of these replicate data points. In such a case (which never happens!), there is no bias (i.e., systematic variability) and no random variability. The response for each true concentration is completely predictable, and the model fits "perfectly."
In the real world, of course, there is always random scatter of the data; thus, essentially never will two responses for each true concentration be exactly the same. This random error is called "pure error," since it is inherent in the data themselves and will exist no matter what model is fitted (or if no model is applied). The typical technique for quantifying pure error is to calculate the associated sum of squares, which is equivalent (except for scaling by 1/[n–1]) to calculating a variance. The procedure is to calculate 1) the mean response at each concentration; 2) the difference between each mean and each of the associated raw responses; and, finally, 3) the sum of the squares of each difference. In other words:
where yi = the ith response, ymean = the mean response at yi's concentration, and n = the total number of data points. (It should be noted that when the mean is subtracted before squaring, as it is here, the result sometimes is referred to as the "corrected" sum of squares.)
In the above "real-world" situation, the desirable circumstance again is that an adequate model will pass exactly through the mean of each concentration's set of responses, since such an occurrence would mean that there is no systematic bias. Even this phenomenon virtually never occurs. Thus, the question is, "Do the residual means deviate from zero enough to suggest there is bias?" If the answer is "yes," then the model is inadequate. In an inadequate-model situation, there are two contributions to the overall error: 1) the pure error that is due to the random, inherent scatter in the data; and 2) deviations of the means at each true concentration (i.e., the inability of the model to explain totally the mean behavior). This combined error is called "total error" and can be quantified by calculating the associated sum of squares. The process is 1) calculate the residual (i.e., observed response minus predicted response) for each data point, and 2) sum the squares of all the residuals. In other words:
where ri = the residual for the ith response.
Of necessity, the total error will be larger than the pure error. The difference is the error that is due to the (possible) inadequacy of the model and is called "lack of fit." In other words:
Lack of Fit = (Total Error) – (Pure Error)
The question, then, is how the size of the LOF error compares with the size of the pure error. If the lack of fit is "sufficiently" small compared to the inherent noise of the data, then the model can be considered to be adequate (LOF is never zero). On the other hand, if the LOF portion "dominates" the pure error, then the model is not an appropriate one for the data. To compare these two errors, an F-test is used; this test compares the ratio of two variances. However, before the ratio is calculated, the variances must be scaled by the degrees of freedom available to each value. The ratio of these scaled variances is then taken to an F-table to get a p-value, which is the value that is used in the LOF portion of calibration diagnostics.
While the above discussion explains the basic concept of lack of fit, it omits one important issue (i.e., the matter of weights). Recall from part 8 (American Laboratory, November 2003) that a fitting technique must be chosen. If the standard deviation of the responses does not trend with concentration, then ordinary least squares (OLS) is appropriate; otherwise, weighted least squares (WLS) is needed. In WLS, the well-behaved data are weighted such that they have greater influence on the regression than do the noisier data. The weights that are calculated for fitting the model also must be taken into account in the LOF test. Thus, for WLS,
where wi = the weight for the ith raw response.
To illustrate the above concepts, consider the data that were discussed in Calibration Example 4 (American Laboratory, December 2004). In this data set, the standard deviation did trend with concentration, so weights were calculated and used in fitting the model. A straight-line (SL) fit was tried first. The lack-of-fit table is shown in Table 1. Each entry in the "Sum of squares" column was calculated using the formulas (including weights) given above. The "DF" column shows the number of degrees of freedom associated with each type of error. While a derivation of these DF results is in order, a full explanation is rather lengthy and will be saved for the next article in this series. For now, the reported numbers will be accepted "on faith."
Figure 1 - Residual pattern associated with the straight-line model, using weighted-least-squares fitting.
The "Mean square" column contains the results of dividing each "Sum of squares" entry by the appropriate "DF," and the "F ratio" is the LOF mean square divided by the pure-error mean square. When this ratio (4.1174) is taken to an F-table, the p-value ("Prob>F" in the table) is 0.0002. Recall that the LOF test assumes there is no lack of fit associated with the model. Thus, a low p-value (with this test, a value of less than 0.05) indicates that there is lack of fit. In other words, the LOF error is significantly larger than the random or pure error. As expected, the residual pattern (see Figure 1) supports this conclusion, since the LOF test is based on the residuals.
Note that while the above LOF results indicate that the SL model is inadequate, this test gives no guidance in choosing an alternative model; the residuals must be examined to make that decision. The pattern in Figure 1 is parabolic in nature, a shape that suggests a quadratic model be tried next. The LOF data for this polynomial (again with WLS fitting) are shown in Table 2. This time, the p-value is 0.6981, which is well above the cutoff of 0.05. With this model, the LOF error (or the bias) has been reduced to the point that its contribution to the total error is small and the pure error dominates. Thus, a second-order polynomial is considered to be adequate to explain the data. The residual pattern shown in Figure 2 is in agreement with this decision.

The way I show my love...
by Tamer
You've been a part of me since that first day.
You're in my thoughts and dream,
in every breath I take,
and every single move I make.
I see you when I close my eyes,
the way you look and how you move.
i know it's my love that I must prove,
our joyful memories I will replay,
and how much I love you in everyday.
I know when you've been in a room,
by the fragrance of your presence,
by love's pure essence.
Passion coursing through my viens,
looking forward to the time that still remains.
You're in my thoughts in every way,
in my mind, in the words I say,
in my soul, in how I pray.
I am thankfull for the day we've met,
I am sure that my love to you I will never regret..
You are the spirit of my love,
and the passion that rains from above.
In my emotions that has been freed,
in the devotions to you I feed.
No, this is not the man I was,
more the man I want to be,
to be there for you to see.
From your lips the words flowed out,
how I wanted to jump and shout.
I held you in my arms and..
conformed you in my heart.
This is how we love each other,
this is how I show my love...
A/N: The very first poem I've ever written. ^^

We all know how powerful scents are in terms of memory. Who among us hasn't caught a whiff of pumpkin pie and recalled our beloved grandmother, or a Fraser fir tree and thought of happy holidays long passed? The smell of tomato leaves can instantly transport us to the summertime tomato sandwiches of our childhood, while the aroma of freshly baked croissants takes us back to a bakery we once frequented. For those interested in the science of how smell and memory are in a perpetual dance, check out this link. In short, add a scent to the mix and you're pretty much guaranteed memories for life.
My upbringing was characterized by very specific fragrances. To me, my youth will always smell like my mother's signature scents, either Nina Ricci's L'Air du Temps or Calvin Klein's Eternity, my father's Chanel for Men and my maternal grandmother's Youth Dew by Estée Lauder. Those fragrances comfort me beyond description, even though they don't speak to me for my own personal use. As a woman who is interested in making things and who has a profound love of natural scents (I'm always burning candles and incense and essential oils at home), I thought I'd try creating a signature scent of my own. Today I'm happy to share with you the results of my sleuthing. With a few simple ingredients, you'll be whipping up bespoke blends of your own, creating enduring olfactory memories for years to come. — Ashley English
The full post continues after the jump . . .
To build your own fragrance, it's essential to first understand the way they're structured. Using either essential oils or fragrance oils (which may be synthetically or naturally derived), distinct scents are created by blending top, middle and base notes. These "notes" are essentially three different levels of scent, each with varying rates of evaporation.
Top notes are those scents you first notice, but they are also the most volatile oils, dispersing and disappearing the fastest. Middle notes are the moderators, linking the top and base notes together, determining which sort of fragrance family a scent becomes — earthy, floral, spicy, woodsy, etc. Lastly, base notes, or fixatives, impart the longest, fullest scent and are sourced from balsams, roots, resins and woods. An ideal ratio to aim for when creating custom blends is one containing 30% top notes, 50% middle notes and 20% base notes. Here are a few examples of scents from each note:
- Base: Cedarwood, Cypress, Ginger, Patchouli, Pine, Sandalwood, Vanilla, Vetiver
- Middle: Black Pepper, Cardamom, Chamomile, Cinnamon, Clove, Fir Needle, Jasmine, Juniper, Lemongrass, Neroli, Nutmeg, Rose, Rosewood, Ylang-Ylang
- Top: Basil, Bergamot, Grapefruit, Lavender, Lemon, Lime, Mint, Neroli, Rosemary, Sweet Orange
This list is hardly comprehensive. There are so many scents, each falling into different note categories. To see what note classification a specific scent falls into, check out this helpful link on Aroma Web. If you have a commercially prepared fragrance you particularly love, check out this link to see what notes are used, and then experiment with re-creating it.
Owing to their different rates of evaporation, it stands to reason that a perfume's fragrance will change over time. The more it is exposed to light and air, the more quickly it will deteriorate, which is why proper storage is essential. Here are several suggestions for maintaining the integrity and quality of your essential oils and fragrance blends:
- Store your fragrances and essential oils in dark-colored bottles out of direct sunlight.
- Put the cap back on the oils as soon as you've removed the drops needed. Heat, light, oxygen and moisture will compromise their quality and cause them to degrade.
- If you are prone to skin sensitivity, test a small amount of your blend on your forearm for allergic reactions before using it liberally.
- Essential oils are highly concentrated and some can burn the skin if applied directly, so always use a carrier oil such as jojoba, sweet almond or grape seed.
- Always use glass or ceramic vessels when mixing and blending oils.
- If stored properly, essential oils will retain their integrity for one year once opened.
Now, let's get down to brass tacks and start mixing your custom eau de perfume!
The Goods
- 2 Tablespoons carrier oil, such as jojoba, sweet almond or grape seed oil
- 6 Tablespoons good quality vodka (I like Rain)
- 2 1/2 Tablespoons distilled or spring water (not tap water, though)
- coffee filter
- funnel
- essential oils for blending (you'll need separate oils for base, middle and top notes, totaling around 30 drops)
- two dark-colored glass bottles, one for curing, one for storing (you don't need both right away, though)
- decorative perfume bottle, for gifting (optional)
1. Begin by cleaning the bottles, either in your hottest setting in the dishwasher or with hot, soapy water.
2. Place the bottles on a rimmed baking pan and dry in an oven set to 110ºC. Remove from the oven once they are completely dry. Put a lid on one of the bottles (the one you'll be using for storing) and set it aside until you'll need it, which will be anywhere from 48 hours to 6 weeks later.
3. Place the carrier oil into one of the bottles.
4. Next, add the essential oils in the following order: the base notes, the middle notes and finally the top notes. The number of drops used for each note is up to you, so it's time to play! Just remember the ideal ratio of 30% top, 50% middle and 20% base notes. Shoot for around 30 drops total given the amount of carrier oil and vodka called for here.
5. Add the vodka. Place the lid atop the bottle and shake it vigorously for several minutes.
6. Allow the bottle to sit for 48 hours to 6 weeks. The scent will change over time, becoming strongest around 6 weeks.
7. Check it regularly, and once you're happy with it, add 2 tablespoons of spring water to the blend.
8. Give the bottle a good shake for one minute. Place a coffee filter into a funnel and transfer the contents from the curing bottle to the other bottle, which will become the storing bottle. Label your blend.
9. Your eau de perfume is now ready to wear. If you'd like to gift it, put some in a decorative bottle. Be sure to advise the recipient, however, to keep it out of direct heat or sunlight. Ideally, though, the best place for storing your creation is in a dark-colored bottle.
Here are three blends that I've created and just love:
Midnight Garden
- 6 drops cedarwood oil
- 15 drops clove oil
- 9 drops lavender oil
Siren Song
- 7 drops sandalwood oil
- 14 drops rose oil
- 9 drops bergamot oil
Brighter Day
- 7 drops pine oil
- 14 drops lemongrass oil
- 9 drops orange oil
What about you? Have any experiences mixing custom scents you'd like to share, or particularly powerful olfactory-based memories you recall with clarity? I'd love to hear about them. Otherwise, bespoke fragrances are fantastic concoctions for gifting or for making a little special sumpin' sumpin' for yourself. Either way, gifted or kept, fragrances will stay with you long after the scent wanes.
Photos and styling by Jen Altman.
Thank you for slightly demystifying the process here. I can see myself gathering a few friends and creating together. Ashley's blends sounds intense and amazing while Jen's photos are fresh and beautiful, as always.
love perfumes and as I read your inspiration to make your own perfumes theiy are very simmilar to what my mother used so it is very probable i will experiment whit fragrances too, nobody believes me I cook with my nose, really!!!! I know when the foo d is ready with the smell of it, and I feel that I am not ready dressed if I donnt have my perfume, maybe I will have some difficulties because I live in Uruguay and we do not hace very much oils but I travel often to Buenos Aires, if I start doing this I write
This is so amazing – thank you!!!
i'm going to try this tonight! thanks :)
This is one of my favorite features of all time!! I can't tell you how many times I've tried a fragrance and said 'Hmm, I almost like it except it's a little too flowery' or I liked it in the store but by the time I get home the scent that it's settled to is no longer appealing. I am also so super psyched to know now how to play with the different essential oils. Thank you so much for the recipe!!! I cannot wait to start experimenting!!
OK, I just looked up my favorite perfume… I cannot believe how much went into it!! It's got four of each note in it, I had no idea that so much went into making perfumes! Now I'm even more excited to experiment! Ah!! Thank you!!!
So so so darn cool! Thanks so much for sharing, Ashley!
Creating a perfume is a long-time fantasy of mine, and now you've shown me how to indulge without going to France. I can't wait to try this. Thank you!
p.s. Do you have a favorite source of essential oils?
Wowsers! I love this as a hostess or shower gift. And the best part may be picking the perfectest prettiest perfume bottle…
Weekend project here I come!
Thank you so much for posting this — I've wanted to figure out how to make my own perfume for ages — I'm going to give it a try (though waiting 6 weeks seems really hard!). I've gotten essential oils at http://www.soapsaloon.com in the past — very reasonably priced.
great post thanks.
Oh my gosh, this is the best post ever. Thought I was weird for collecting things that smelled like my memories. My collections and their scents are my timeline. The most unique scent in my collection comes from a rock I found. My most prized is a tin that has perfectly preserved my strawberry shortcake doll. When I open it, I am transported to my favorite Christmas, 1980. I have a collection of wooden boxes each with its own smell that will take me back to different times. The candles I purchase must be a poignant scent for me. I am the candle industries greates target market. i just bought a scented notebook and candles from La Labo because they reminded me of my grandfather's design studio. This is a topic I could go on and on about. Price does not stand in the way of a memory. :) Thank you for sharing. Stunning photos, and styling.
I would love to create my own signature scent. I have worn KL by Karl Lagerfeld for about 30 years and now that it is no longer made, I'm very sad-would love to be able to come up with something similar.
You've touched a subject close to my Heart~
Scents are so powerful for me, and can transport me in time just like Jess – right now at work, there is a dish soap that reminds me of the laundromat my mum took me to as a child in 1979!
I also frequently travel back in my memory to a particular building of my elementary school – the smell of the wood was very distinct and gives me a queer feeling in my tummy. :o)
I've been experimenting with making my own fragrances for a long time, and it is one of the most delightful things to put on a scent that you have crafted with your own hands. It is a world, I realize now, that expands once you delve into it – the more you know, the more you realize you don't know. But it sure is fun learning!
Another source of wonderful essential oils I would recommend:
Thanks for the tutorial; I've never made Eau de Toilette, but can't wait to try.
thanks for this post! Can you tell me why you need to filter the perfume before storing? What impurities/elements are you removing by doing so? Thanks!
Thank you thank you thank you! I am a huuuuuge fan of Angel by Theirry Mugler but being a student I cannot even come close to afford paying ZAR R950 (thats roughly $100 +) for a 50ml bottle. I usually make a stop at the perfume section in the department store close to my work almost every week (why they don't recognize me by now i have yet to understand). Now I can make it myself for under ZAR R100 (thats roughly $12) – depending on the Vodka I decide to use :D soo excited to try this
Thanks for this! I've been wanting to make my own perfume for a long time, but never got around to researching the how-to. Can't wait to start my own concoction!
This is great! I've always wanted to make my own fragrance, and this really explains the process well! Thank you so much :)
Thank you, this is awesome! A few years ago a friend and I discovered this tiny adorable perfume "lab" in Manhattan that made custom scents … But it was SO EXPENSIVE! We loved the idea though. Can't wait to try this.
I also am curious as to why the coffee filter is being used. Very thorough an informative. Permission to play! Thanks!
Adele i love angel too.. What combo of fragrances did you use?
I have played with making my own body oil to wear instead of perfume, I just put it in a rollerball container for easy application. I like to use sandalwood, lavender, and jasmin. I think I unknowingly used the ratio you recommend. I will have to try this for sure, I don't usually like normal women's perfume, I do better with more masculine scents but men's fragrances are too masculine.
For those that asked, the coffee filtration step is to remove any oil residues that haven't dispersed into the water, alcohol and essential oils during the "curing" process.
As for essential oil brands, I love Simplers, Mountain Rose and Aura Cacia:
What happens with the spring water? you have it in the ingredients but don't mention it in the instructions?
Made my first few blends on Friday night and got my first whiff of them today. I'm already addicted to making the stuff!
Ashley–when you made your blends and let them sit for the 48 hours to 6 weeks, did your oils and the vodka separate? Mine separate as they sit but combine again wheni mix them. Hoping that's normal!
Krista, the same thing happened to me. I was looking through the forums on the basenotes.net website she posted and it seems that this recipe doesn't have enough essential oils. This post says that for each ounce (or 2 tbsp) you should have 60 drops of essential oils. The recipe here is roughly 4 oz, so that means that it should have about 240 drops instead of 30.
What I did is measure out 2 tbsp of the perfume I had already made. I put it in a different glass bottle and added about 57 more drops. You should try it. It smells so much better now!
Great post thanks!
Maybe this isn't the romantic type of olfactory memory you had in mind, but:
While I was growing up my father was building our new house on the same section (still isn't finished!). Many years after I had left home I phoned up to talk to my father, and as my mother walked outside with the phone to get Dad who was working outside, I heard the sound of the bench saw over the phone. I smelt the wood dust. It was such a real intense physical smell and then I realised that I couldn't be really smelling it all, it was all just my brain tricking me.
I know my question would sound a bit weird, but hope u could help :) I live in a place where the only source of Alcohol available is Ethyle Alcohol (rubbing alcohol/medicated), could I use it instead of Vodka?
Thank you for this! Attempting to make this weekend and maybe gift to my bridesmaids if all turns out as planned!! :)
What a fabulous DIY (great pictures, too). I need to work up my creative bravery, buy supplies, and give it a try!
Great post! Does anyone know where I can buy that velvet ribbon? It's gorgeous!
so if I wanted to have a 'pure' sandalwood smell, and just put in, say, 25-30 drops of sandalwood essential oil into a 50ml airplane bottle of Vodka, shook it up and stored it somewhere cool and dark, would that be all I need?
i would love to know how to make my own perfum it would make my life worth living
I have a question! Do you think lavender, rose, and orange would smell nice?
Hi, thank you for sharing this information, appreciated. i was wondering if you could tell me where to buy the vodka and the type of vodka used if possible, thank you.
Why is it necessary to use a filter in the funnel when transferring from the curing bottle to the storing bottle?
Useful info. Lucky me I discovered your site by chance, and I am shocked why this twist
of fate did not happened earlier! I bookmarked it.
Hopefully your method of perfume making can save my skin- I have a science project due with a partner VERY SOON and since your method gives a nicer minimum of wait period, it could help a lot. Important question! Can you substitute ethyl alcohol for vodka? Being under legal drinking age could be difficult getting my hands on vodka for this, though.
If your filling a 1.7 oz perfume bottle how do you figure the percentage of drops and alcohol. I keep getting different answers. If I wanted to create a fragrance to fill numerous bottles this size in say a 32oz bottle or what ever size as oppose to doing each bottle at a time. Thanks, Thomas
Does one not need to use an emulsifyer in this perfumes for the alcohol and oil? and maybe a stabilisier to retain the smell ?
I have the same question as Angie (above).
I'm really loving those miniature perfume bottles. They're super cute!!! Where can i get some?
I appreciate the wayyou brooke the whole process down. I make an aura spray that i'm often asked to make in a parfume. now I am confident to try it. Patchouli and Lavender.
You need minimum of 95% ethyl alcohol to extract all the profiles from EO's and Absolutes. Aromatherapist mix oils doesn't mean it's perfume. Plus the base notes usually are 50-55%, having that as a percentage for your heart notes won't have proper structure.
Famed perfumer Jean Carlos outline this structure in his books and he is a trusted authority.
The above process will give you something that smells, but it's not how you make perfume.
if i was trying to have a perfume making party would I make each scent serpartely and then let the girls mix and match so they don't have to wait 2-6 days for their results?
Why do you use vodka and not grain alcohol or isopropyl alcohol?
I agree with Daniel. The base is typically the majority portion of the fragrance. The mid and top notes accent the final product. It is common to use everclear as it is 95% alcohol with 5% distilled water. This is a cheap way since perfumer alcohol is a controlled item with limitations before you are forced to buy a license. Also, vodka is a safe means of use as it doesnt change the fragrant composition. The only problem is that by adding distilled water you may cloud the end fragrant product. Also it may cause your perfume to wear off faster with less punch to those that smell it.
Thank you so much for sharing.Nobody does such a thing anymore.You've made it so afordable i could cry in joy now
I found the above posts very informative, so thanks to all. I managed to buy 90% ethanol so does this mean I still need to use distilled water?? I have also read numerous times that glycerin helps to hold the scent (especially the top notes) a lot better but I'm not sure what percentage I should use?? Would love and advise :-)
In the not so distant past, people created their own scents,
and used different perfumes for different reasons. This great fragrance,
regardless, slowly morphs into a slightly serious
one thanks to the magnolia and cherry blossoms included
into the mix. Many deals are updated daily so you can find the best deals and get your
hands on them straight away.
I really like these recipes. However I wonder if the % of EO to carrier/alcohol/water mix is way to low to be considered perfume. Other sites insist, in order to make a perfume, about 25% of the volume of the perfume container should be essential oil.
Love your website and recipies. I am about to start having a go at making perfumes, and will try out your recipies above.
I would really like to make a perfume similar to calandre by paco rabanne which I used to wear years ago. I wondered if anyone has tried to make a similar perfume, and have a recipie for it.
I'm going to save myself some money and clean out some empty beer bottles for curing and storage…
how can I replicate ,a product by puig that is no longer made. estivalia , lait de beaute hydratant. is it possible to have this made . many thanks pam
I adore Rive Gauche and cannot obtain it. Cud u help with its composition.
Also Masumi by Coty.
I would really like to make a perfume similar to calandre by paco rabanne which I used to wear years ago, and also coco chanel. I wondered if anyone has tried to make a similar perfumes, and have a formulation for either of them.
This helped me tremendously! I've wanted to learn how to make perfume for as long as I could remember but didn't want to do it until I knew exactly how to. I feel like I could actually make this without messing it all up now!
Great post! Thanks for sharing I would love to know where you got those adorable bottles from! I have been looking for bottles like these for years.
If you want to replicate a perfume try googling it and you should find the info you need. For example googling YSL Paris took me to a perfume site and the info:
Heart notes; Rose, Lime Blossom, Ylang Ylang, Violet, Lily, Orris, Jasmine
Top notes; Cassia, Hawthorn, Hyacinth, Bergamot, Geranium, Orange Blossom
Base notes; Oakmoss, Heliotrope, Cedar, Iris, Sandalwood, Amber, Musk
Scent: Floral
Wouldn't like to try replicate that personally but you get the idea :)
I followed your recipe and the scent is wonderful. However, the vodka & water did not emulsify with the oils. What should I do? Thanks.
thanks alot..
i much encouraged reading these recipes and love to make it my own.
Jojoba oil = non polar
Alcohol = polar
you can't mix it. so, there is something wrong in here.
An easier way is to make a perfume oil. All you need is a carrier oil like almond or jojoba & then you just add your essential oils to the carrier oil. The bonus with this is you don't need to wait to use it, you can use it right away & there is no need to filter it. Another bonus is you only need a drop behind each ear & each wrist & the scent of perfume oils lasts a lot longer than a perfume. I make one using sandalwood, patchouli & ylang-ylang & sometimes I also add frankincense. They also make for a very relaxing soak in the tub & when you are done your whole body is scented.
Thank you so much for sharing. I am going to try and make some for Christmas!
This is so amazing would make a lovely gift! What would you say would be best for a man in his 20s? Any of the recipies you posted or anything else? Would love to make my boyfriend something
hi, do you think vanilla-jasmine-peppermint as base-middle-top would make a great combination? also, what do you suggest will blend well with vanilla when used as a base note? thank you so much, this post is wonderful, as well as your blog <3
The beauty salon I go to sells Pink Sugar body oil. I would love to make my own oils. Have no idea what the 'pink' is in the Pink Sugar. Do you have any ideas?
I was just wondering if the Vodka leaves a strong scent in the perfume
Would really love to know where you got that beautiful bottle from? I found the image on Pinterest a while ago and am just in love with the bottle. I am a perfumer from Australia.

I was very happy with the service. I noticed just before I was due to travel that my mobile number as provided to the car company driving me from JFK to Yale was inaccurate. I scanned this page and left a note for my secretary to amend it. Unfortunately I left the page in the scanner by mistake, and so didn't have it with me as the"voucher" to show the driver. I was very pleased with the response when I panicked and rang Haley, who e-mailed it to me so I had it on my phone.

James Dickey
Hunting Civil War Relics at Nimblewill Creek Poem by James Dickey
As he moves the mine detector
A few inches over the ground,
Making it vitally float
Among the ferns and weeds,
I come into this war
Slowly, with my one brother,
Watching his face grow deep
Between the earphones,
For I can tell
If we enter the buried battle
Of Nimblewill
Only by his expression.
Softly he wanders, parting
The grass with a dreaming hand.
No dead cry yet takes root
In his clapped ears
Or can be seen in his smile.
But underfoot I feel
The dead regroup,
The burst metals all in place,
The battle lines be drawn
Anew to include us
In Nimblewill,
And I carry the shovel and pick
More as if they were
Bright weapons that I bore.
A bird's cry breaks
In two, and into three parts.
We cross the creek; the cry
Shifts into another,
Nearer, bird, and is
Like the shout of a shadow—
Lived-with, appallingly close—
Or the soul, pronouncing
Three tones; your being changes.
We climb the bank;
A faint light glows
On my brother's mouth.
I listen, as two birds fight
For a single voice, but he
Must be hearing the grave,
In pieces, all singing
To his clamped head,
For he smiles as if
He rose from the dead within
Green Nimblewill
And stood in his grandson's shape.
No shot from the buried war
Shall kill me now,
For the dead have waited here
A hundred years to create
Only the look on the face
Of my one brother,
Who stands among them, offering
A metal dish
Afloat in the trembling weeds,
With a long-buried light on his lips
At Nimblewill
And the dead outsinging two birds.
I choke the handle
Of the pick, and fall to my knees
To dig wherever he points,
To bring up mess tin or bullet,
To go underground
Still singing, myself,
Without a sound,
Like a man who renounces war,
Or one who shall lift up the past,
Not breathing 'Father,'
At Nimblewill,
But saying, 'Fathers! Fathers!'

Most users that have flashed this radio are reporting increased download speeds as well as HUSPA upload speeds and better latency/ping times. HOWEVER, several users have reported an increase in the amount of heat dissipated which, combined with run-away apps that are constantly churning data, could cause your phone to get hot.
There have been a lot of questions about inconsistent speed tests. I've even seen some posts claim that they're download speed has gone down. Please use some common sense here and understand that there are many factors that come in to play including SpeedTest, local towers, network congestion, etc.
Also, please be advised that you must use RSD Lite under Windows to flash this radio.
All credit goes to NFHimself from whom I got the idea and who helped me work through the kinks.
Attached is a zip file containing 2 separate sbf files. You will want the SBF for the 1.87 baseband radio which is the same one that shipped with the Telstra 1.4.2 update. It should not require a reset as it's the radio only, and I have successfully flashed it to my ATT phone using RSD Lite giving me upload speeds slightly higher than my dl speeds (currently showing just under 2Mb).
I am also providing a radio only sdf of the stock ATT radio that recently shipped so that you can go back if need be.
Keep in mind that while it did work for me, this has not been thoroughly tested and I will not be responsible if decide to use this and you brick your phone.

The Groom of Frankenstein"Intrepid reporter, John Bonderman here. It's Halloween once again and here I am at the allegedly haunted castle of Dr. Frankenstein.

I yawn. I can't believe I landed this lame assignment. My editor told me it's because whenever I take on the dangerous stories I end up finding myself in major distress and they can't afford to insure me. So I'm stuck with the fluff stories.
On the bright side, I've been tasked with showing my pretty new intern, Sarah, the ins and out of reporting. God, she is hot!
"I've been looking over Agent Shannon Trevor's file," Sarah says. "Looks like he's seen his share of danger, huh?"
"A lot like me, Sarah," I brag. "I think that's why you are here with me. To learn from the master and of course, I'm here to keep you safe."
Sarah rolls her eyes and is about to respond when a car pulls up and out walks out Agent Shannon Trev

Play It Again, Sam Review
Woody Allen has made a scant few appearances in films he didn't also direct. This is one of the better ones, an adaptation of his stage play by director Herbert Ross, best known for teaming him for the first time with Diane Keaton, a watershed moment no matter how you cut it. The story's a bit silly: Allen is a nebbish film critic who's getting divorced. To help him back into the game, he envisions Humphrey Bogart to help him woo women (including his best friend's wife, Keaton). Naturally, scenes from various Bogie movies are re-enacted and perverted for the purpose of comedy.

Brian Conklin scored 10 of his 19 points during Saint Louis' decisive second-half spurt, and the Billikens ended the longest home-court winning streak in Atlantic 10 history, beating Xavier 73-68 on Wednesday night. Xavier (13-7, 4-3) had its 43-game home winning streak in A-10 play snapped by a team it had beaten seven times in a row. The last visiting A-10 team to win at the Cintas Center was Saint Joseph's on Feb. 28, 2006. With the score tied midway through the second half, Saint Louis (16-4, 4-2) went on a 12-3 run that featured 10 points by Conklin. Tu Holloway's two free throws cut it to 71-68 with 22.2 seconds left. Mike McCall Jr. made two free throws with 19.5 seconds left to clinch it. Xavier's Mark Lyons started the game on the bench, but finished with a season-high 24 points. Holloway had 22.

Acton Institute President and Co-Founder Rev. Robert A. Sirico had a busy media day yesterday in the wake of the release of the Supreme Court's decision in the Hobby Lobby vs. Sebelius case. using the audio player below, you can listen to an interview with Rev. Sirico on The Michael Berry Show on Houston's 740 AM KTRH radio where the impact of the decision is examined. Additionally, beyond the jump I've embedded Rev. Sirico's appearance on Bloomberg TV's Street Smart with Trish Regan, where he participated on a panel discussing the decision.
It seems like nowadays everyone has a connection to someone who brews their own beer. Grand Rapids recently was named Beer City because of its lively microbrewery scene so this is especially true here. While this hobby can be very enjoyable and refreshing be aware that taking your hobby to the next step could be more difficult than you would imagine. Recent regulations have made it harder than ever for new craft beers to enter into the consumer market.
Entrepreneurs are the building blocks of all economies. Every company must come from somewhere to create what they are today. This can easily be seen by looking at any company from Apple all the way to Nike. The problem is that many large companies are now being protected from competition from small businesses by unnecessary regulations. (more…)
Acton president and co-founder, Rev. Robert Sirico was recently interviewed for Beliefnet by John W Kennedy, who writes about "the crossroads of faith, media, and culture." They discussed a variety of issues, including the Church's views on economics, the media portrayal as business as inherently evil, the Pope's comments about economics, PovertyCure and more. See a portion of their discussion below:
John W Kennedy: In your view, how can government — and religion — help create an atmosphere in which free enterprise and business and do the most good?
Robert Sirico: Well, I think that there are several things. If we address it from the point of view of government, government should do what government should do — that is to guaranty freedom to people so that we defend the weakest in our society and the weakest members in our economy. We do this by the rule of law — to prevent violence, to demand restitution where violence has been already enacted, to ensure the rights of contracts and the right of property, the right of trade. In regard to contracts (Government should ensure) that when people say that they'll work for a certain amount of money that they're indeed paid what's been agreed upon for their work rather than being exploited. (Government should) make sure that when people sell things to people that (customers) get what they have paid for. All of this is the function of law. (more…)
This morning, Acton Institute President Rev. Robert A. Sirico took some time away from his preparations for Acton University to speak with Jim Engster, host of The Jim Engster Show on WRKF radio in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, discussing how to address the issue of poverty in society, and the approach taken by Pope Francis and the church in general to that and other issues. They also discussed the problems with the ObamaCare model of health-care reform, among other issues. You can listen to the interview using the audio player below.
Rev. Robert Sirico was recently on WSJ Live, talking to Simon Constable about Pope Francis and his shakeup of Vatican finances:
Acton Institute President and co-founder, Rev. Robert Sirico was recently interviewed on both Bloomberg TV as well as Fox & Friends' Varney & Co. Sirico spoke with Trish Regan on Bloomberg's "Street Smart" about financial reform in the Vatican:
I am not an economist. Truth be told, I only took one class in economics as an undergrad. However, I've learned a lot in the past few years, and one of the things I've learned is that most people don't understand economics.
Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry knows this as well, and explains it far better than I could. In today's Forbes, Gobry breaks down the understanding of economics into two broad camps: the "productivist" view and the "creativist." First, the productivist:
Violently compressed, the productivist view of the economy holds that an economy works because it gives people stuff to do and stuff to buy. The reason why an economy which hums along hums along is because it produces enough stuff and people have enough money to buy that stuff so that people buy stuff and that gives jobs to the people who produce stuff, and in turn the stuff that is produced makes people want to buy them. To the productivists, the key thing is to keep the machine running and, hopefully, make it run faster, and more efficiently. But, fundamentally, what makes the economy run is this consumerist dynamic.
This, Gobry says, is the way most people – even economists – understand economics. It's right in the short-term, but flawed. This viewpoint holds that economics is merely an endless cycle of buying and selling. As long as there is products are made, bought and sold, everything should be okay. (more…)
On Tuesday, April 29, the Acton Institute hosted the conference Faith, State, and the Economy: perspectives from East and West at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. This conference was the first in a five-part international conference series – One and Indivisible? The Relationship Between Religious and Economic Freedom.
The one-night event, moderated by Acton's Rev. Robert A. Sirico, featured four prominent speakers who offered deeper insight into the question of the relationship between religious freedom and economic liberty. The speakers represented a diversity of global perspectives on the relationship between religious and economic freedom.
Rev. Prof. Martin Rhonheimer of the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross, located in Rome, presented on Christianity and the Limits of State Power. Rhonheimer discussed the important and inherent link between limited government and a flourishing free market, the historical roots of the free market in Christian civilization, and the danger of Christians who fail to understand the link between Christianity and a free market economy.
Following Rhonheimer, Archbishop Maroun Elias Lahham of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem for Jordan offered his perspectives on Christians and the Challenge of Freedom in the Middle East. Samuel Gregg, the Director of Research at the Acton Institute, followed with an engaging analysis on contemporary issues in his presentation Religious Liberty and Economic Freedom: Intellectual and Practical Paradoxes. Gregg revealed some of the ways that greater economic freedom may lead to greater religious liberty, using the Chinese situation as a case study.
On Saturday morning, Acton Institute President Rev. Robert A. Sirico joined host Larry Kudlow on the nationally syndicated Larry Kudlow Show for a wide-ranging Easter weekend discussion. Sirico and Kudlow talked about everything from the so-called "Gospel of Jesus' Wife" to the collapse of poverty rates worldwide over the past few decades, and ended with a conversation about the upcoming canonizations of Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II, and a reflection on whether the march of secularism can be turned back in western society.
