Making an Alice lotion

breakinglight11Did something today I’ve been meaning to try for a while, mixing a perfume oil into an unscented lotion. I used Alice, my favorite Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab scent, and the plain goat milk lotion from the Hairy Farmpit Girls. Research suggested I needed a little less than half a teaspoon for six ounces, as Alice is a strong scent.
I added the oil with a pipet, then gave it a good shake. I think the results are usable! I can detect the Alice in the bottle and in the lotion in my hand, but it doesn’t seem to be overpowering— though it’s a bergamot and floral musk, so as I said, some might find it a bit strong. Or, indeed, old-lady-ish. 😉
I’m trying to actually use and enjoy my nice things, instead of saving them for so long they are no longer any good. I’ve always wanted a lotion in this scent, so this is really nice.
