Everyone loves smelling good. Unfortunately, sometimes smelling good can seem like an expensive habit.
While smelling good can be expensive, it doesn’t have to break the bank. You can create your own signature scent with a few clever hacks and a touch of creativity. Embrace new hacks, experiment with different combinations and let your natural beauty shine. Try these budget-friendly tips to help you smell your best every day.
Harness the Power of Essential Oils
Essential oils can be a game-changer in the scent department. Opt to wear your favorite essential oils, such as lavender, vanilla, or citrus. The smells can create your own personalized fragrance. Mix a few drops with a carrier oil, like jojoba or almond oil, and dab it on your pulse points for a long-lasting, natural scent.
DIY Linen and Closet Sprays
Extend your fragrance beyond your skin by creating DIY linen and closet sprays. Mix water with a few drops of your preferred essential oil or citrus peels in a spray bottle. Spritz this mixture on your clothes, bed linens and in your closet to infuse your surroundings with a delightful scent.
Scented Hair Mist
Your hair is an underrated carrier of scent. Create a scented hair mist by diluting a few drops of essential oil in water. Spray it lightly onto your hairbrush before brushing your hair. Your hair will not only smell fantastic, but also linger around you as you move.
Infuse Your Moisturizer
Make your daily skincare routine a fragrant experience by adding essential oil to your unscented moisturizer. This way, your skin will be hydrated and carry a subtle, delightful scent throughout the day.
Natural Floral Perfume
Harness the power of fresh flowers to create a natural perfume. Place your favorite blooms in a bowl of water and let it sit in the sunlight for a few hours. Strain the liquid and mix it with a touch of witch hazel or vodka. Transfer it to a small spray bottle for an all-natural floral fragrance.
Scented Jewelry
Apply a drop of your favorite essential oil on jewelry made of porous materials, such as lava stone or wooden beads. This will not only add an unique touch to your accessories, but also release a subtle scent throughout the day.
