-
10g x Beeswax pellets
-
10 ml x Sweet Almond Oil ( or another light odourless oil)
Few drops of your favourite essential oil or fragrance oil
-
Melt the beeswax pellets in a bowl over a pan of simmering water until melted.
-
Leave to cool slightly, add the sweet almond oil
-
Leave to cool a bit longer, before adding your essential oil, do not add whilst still hot, as it will simply evaporate and your perfume will not have any fragrance at all!
Carefully mix, ideally to mix you need something as thin as possible, this is because whatever you put into the melted oil will simply form over the spoon and you will loose a lot of the mixture as it hardens onto your spoon!
Pour into your chosen container, little lip balm pots work really well, and just as great and easier in my opinion is to use a push up lip balm tube, you only need to push it up and rub on the chosen area! No hands, keeping everything clean as well! 
Tip
whatever you use to mix, pop it under hot water first, as you would pop a spoon into hot water before you put it into the honey jar! Nothing will stick to it now!
Other useful ideas for your solid perfume balm
Make a little balm with Neem Oil, and rub on the collar of your pet, this will help act as an insect repellant, you could use cedar oil as well, works very effectively and smells a little better!
Create a rescue balm, and use Lavender Oil, these are better for travelling, particularly if travelling by air, with all the restrictions on taking 'liquids' on board flights still in place!
I read recently I think on the Jo Malone perfume website as a suggestion to wearing their perfumes, apply one to the front of your body, and a different (but complimentary perfume) to your back, this way creating some very different affects when meeting people, as you speak and as you leave them!
However you choose to wear your solid perfume, just enjoy!
