Year 2009 is finally coming to an end. If we sum up the event this year, we can conclude that we experienced a very rough year especially in terms of natural calamity and employment.

A lot of Filipinos lost their jobs, experienced lay-offs and salary deductions. The economy had experienced its lowest point as well this year. And due to this problems, a lot of Filipinos are jumping from an ordinary employee to businessman.

One of the “in” business for all year round are home made products. From processed foods, accessories, soap and dishwashinf liquid and Perfumes.

Want to earn more in 2010? Why not make perfumes! Here’s how.

Prepare:

• Bottles (10ml-100 ml)
• Beaker
• Essential oils
• Fragrance oils
• Deodorize alcohol (TDOH)
• Muscol (MCL)
• Moisturizer (propylene glycol or PPG)
• Distilled water

Here’s the procedure according to the filipinoentrepreneur.com:

• Prepare all the raw materials needed in plastic cups except the alcohol because it evaporates easily. You can prepare it just before starting the mixing. Weigh each needed liquid materials individually in cups but first weigh the cups and adjust the scale to zero so the weigh of the cups will not be included with the materials. (see the measurement above for each materials)

• Then place the small beaker on the weighing scale and adjust the scale to zero. This is for the alcohol I mentioned before. Pour the alcohol until it weighs 70 grams. Then pour the MCL and make sure the plastic cup is empty of the MCL by pouring alcohol from the beaker, scraping it with the stirring rod and transferring it back to the beaker. Mix thoroughly until well dispersed in the alcohol. Take note that water and MCL should not be mixed first because it will harden it.

• Then add the PPG to the mixture and stir again until well blended. Then add the rest of the materials one by one stirring each time you add the materials and make sure it is well dispersed.

• Finally add the distilled water in the mixture then mix thoroughly until it becomes homogeneous. You can then transfer them in containers.

Use colored bottles for presentation. Try to think of a brand name that has some class or a name that sounds edgy and cool. Print the name on a sticker paper and put some enigmatic design to capture attention. A one liner name is better. Think of classic perfume like CK’s “Eternity”, Givenchy “Oblique”, or Chanel “Chanel 5″.
