Anyone know how to make perfume or cologne from fresh herbs or flowers?
I have a ton of fresh herbs like Lavender and Lemon Balm in my garden along with a lot of great smelling flowers. How does one capture their fragrance for use in cologne or home made perfumes or oils?

Hey MMT,
Calendula (Pot Marigolds) have skin healing properties, so I use to put them in olive oil. Then rub on - worked great. Of course you can rub the flowers directly on your skin, but how to preserve that and use through the winter was the use for the olive oil.
The last site below is How to Make Herbal Essential Oils & Ointments. This is worth reading.
