1. Introduction and Class Navigation: The world outside
is so enchanting. Beautiful smells of
flowers and leaves. And maybe you're someone who wants to bring it
into your home. Hi, I'm Joy. And I'm here to help you
learn how to extract the sense from the world
around you into scented oils. And these oils, you can use it to create products for
your home or for yourself. Here's the class
overview and navigation. First we start with a
introduction of scented oil. This gives you a good
groundwork before we start our hands on and
practical work together. Then I'll take you
through how to do coal oil infusion with
one example pandan. This will free up your
imagination to think about other oils and other botanical
matters that you can use. I also talk about solubility of natural ingredients in oil. Because not everything
is soluble in oil, it's worthwhile trying to
experiment what will work best. Then I share with you certain
things that you can do. Once you have your
scented oil together, we are going to be doing a
red diffuser for your home. In the videos that
you're seeing, it will mostly be about the
process because all of us will have different plants and different quantities that
we'll be working through. I also prepared handy guides for you so that you can refer to these guides as
you are trying out your own different
combination of centered oils. Here I have a guide on
creating centered oils, how to create a red diffuser. If you're ready, we're
going to go on to talk about what's
an oil infusion.
2. How To Make A Scent Through Oil Immersion: A Primer : Here's a basic primer
on scented oil. Now we're going to go through
for this introduction, what is a coal oil infusion? The guiding ethos for infusing plant matter in oil to extract its sense and getting started
on cleaning and safety. Now you can have a
hot oil infusion or a coal oil infusion. For this particular class, we are going to concentrate
on the cold oil infusion. Infusion mediums are going to
be oil, sweet, almond oil, coconut oil, argon oil, and Job, which is
actually a wax. Then you're going to be emassing your plant material like petals, leaves, or pots inside. This helps to extract the scent. In the videos later, I'll be showing you how I
actually infuse vanilla pots and it makes for such a beautiful
sweet smell. But I'd like to just share
with you about this one mantra that will help you
in your journey when you're working
with natural materials. It is to dance with
your natural sense. Why? Because if you buy
a channel number five in one store and you buy another channel number
five in another store, these two bottles of perfume
are going to smell the same. But when you're working
with natural sense, depending on even be the season, it could be the same plant, but a different season and you might get
different smells. It's really to dance and just be open to the
experience that the natural sense and the natural materials are
trying to bring to you next. It's also the mantra of having the spirit
of experimentation. Some plants are soluble in oil, it makes them very suitable for infusion, but some are not. It is really having the
spirit of experimentation. The plants that I'm showing
to you in this class might be very different
from the plants that you have back in your
own home country. It's good to just
try and see and experiment what works for
your own native plants. Now, when gathering
natural materials, here are a few tips. Don't uproot wild
plants that leave enough flowers to generate
seeds for the next crop. So this ensures that there's a renewal barks for some plants. When you strip the
bark from the plant, it's going to be
so harmful for it. So don't peel off
from the trunk. Just take it from either
falling pieces of bark, all from removed branches that have already
fallen on the floor. Leaves don't leave
any branches bare. You might want to pick
a few leaves from different branches when you're working with natural materials. They are very, very
delicious to microbes. If you're not
handling them well, especially if there is water, it's crucial for you to sanitize, disinfect,
and sterilize. Use the soap and detergent and wash your tools
in hot water. Or you can disinfect them by wiping it down
with rubbing alcohol. And if you, for example, you can't do this with plastic, but you can do this with glass. You can boil these
tools in boiling water, or just use a UV sterilizing
unit if you have it. Next. What kind of tools and
equipment will you need? Here is another mantra. It's about simplicity and
using what you have on hand. I'm trying to make sure that my tools perform double duty. That I don't buy,
just one tool that can just provide
me with one use. It's really important
to just use what you have on hand when
you're getting started. These are some of the tools
and equipment that you might need for processing
centered agents. You may need a mortar and pestle and an old coffee grinder
that you don't use for food. This is because you
may need to break down your natural
matter so that there is greater surface area with the oil for testing your
scent combinations. You can have your
sand strip holders, your sand strips, cotton wool
pads or use coffee or wool. If you experience sand fatigue, you know, sometimes
you're smelling a lot of different ingredients. And you may need
to walk outside to smell fresh air before walking again with your
scented materials. Or you might want to smell wool and coffee, other materials. Again, make sure that
these things are used only for sand extraction
and not for food. When you're working with
natural materials and oils, it can get staining. So it's really important
for you to either lay your surface with plastic or work in a tray so
that it spills only onto the tray and not onto
your working surface. You will also need your
measuring equipment, beakers, droppers,
measuring cups and spoons. Also, recording is so crucial because you want
to know what you want to change next time
if you don't like this covered and concoction, remember we're experimenting. And also if you like something, you want to know how to
recreate it the next time. So a logbook is so
important and I've actually prepared a recording sheet for you you can use at
your own convenience. Again, working with
natural materials, cleaning and protection
is important. Rubber gloves and Gs. Now, of course, you may
want to mix your oil together with your
natural materials and you may need
glass rods for these. I'm all about keeping
things simple, and my mantra is ABCD when it comes to the process
of creating center oils. So what does ABCD stands for? Just remember a scenting agents. What are you going to
use to create the scent? Two, what is your
extraction agent? What kind of oil do
you want to use? Do you want to use coconut oil, which has its own smell, so that you can mix it
with the scenting agent to have a new layers of smell. Or do you want to have something that doesn't have its own scent, like sweet arm and oil. It's important for you to
think about your agents. What is it that you want to
use as your scenting agent? And also, what do you want to use as your extraction agent? B stands for bath. You are going to be bathing
your scenting agents in oil, and this is the stage
where you extract the scent through
infusions in oil. Think about combining
your components. Do you just want to have one
component like one leaf, or do you want to
have different kinds of leaves and petals or pots? And it's really about
having a layered scent. And how do you want
to combine it or not? D is where it gets extra fun. You get to design
and get creative with your scents using projects. Now in this class that
I'll be doing with you, I'll be making a red diffuser from the scented
oils that we create. But feel free you can
also experiment and see what other ways you
can use your scented oils. Now I know you can't. To get started, let
me introduce you to our star ingredient, pandan.
3. Meet Our Star Ingredient: Pandan Plant: Y. Yes, yes, yes.
4. Process of Cold Oil Infusion With Pandan: Before we begin,
please make sure that all the items that you're
using as sterilized, so these have been
boiled in water. In this video,
we're going to make pandan leaf infused coconut oil. What I have here is pandan leaf. And this pandan leaf
has been cut yesterday. And I have washed
them and dried them. So it's already been
about 24 hours. Generally, for fresh herbs, I really recommend
that you wash them, but you also need to dry them, because water in your oils will make it more
rancid quite fast. Also, water in your
products just make it a very delicious
territory for microbes, bacteria, mold, and yeast. And you don't want that,
as far as you can reduce the amount of water that
are in your fresh herbs. I'm going to show you how I infuse pendant leaf
into my coconut oil. The things I have here
is my pandan leaf, and this is my coconut oil. You can find other kinds
of coconut oil that are available for you in
your local grocery store. This is the 100% pure
compressed coconut oil, premium grade, extra virgin. If you look at this, can tell that where I am, I live in the tropics. My coconut oil is liquid
at this room temperature. If you live in a colder climate, it's probably going
to look quite white and not so liquid,
probably quite solid. I'm going to show you how I prepare Panda leaf
infused coconut oil. First I will take my Panda leaf. Okay, I have cut some already. The edges, the edges of the
Panda leaf has some spines. I usually want to
cut that off just in case it hurts me when
I am trying to cut it. I will cut it into
much smaller pieces. I already have these. Then I will roll it up and I'll just drop it
into my container 0. Okay. At this point
it's quite full, so I'm just going
to press it down. Okay, So you can fill it up. If I press it down, it fills up to almost two thirds
of the bottle. Okay? So I am now going to pour my
coconut oil and make sure that it completely covers
my pandan leaf pieces. Okay. If you can tell my surface
is covered with plastic. I always do a lot of experiments in the kitchen
and on my surface, and I always will something. If you're as clumsy as I am, you might want to cover
your surface with plastic. It saves you a lot
of grief. Okay. Now what I'm going to
do is I'm going to pour my coconut oil to this container and I'm going to make sure
that the coconut oil completely covers
all the pieces. Okay, that should do it. Okay, so now I'm
going to Ck this and the previous video I put my Pandan leaves
and coconut oil. Then after that I'm
going to take it out and I'm going to
filter out the leaves, leaving just the oil. So I'm not showing
you that process because I think
it's something that you are able to imagine
how to get it done. But I do want to show you what it looks like after two weeks. Okay. If you recall in
the previous video, I made the coconut infused oil in a very, very small container. That is because I learned
my lesson, honestly. You don't need so
much oil In the past, I used to make lots
and lots and lots of quantities of this
herb, infuse oil. And then I find that I'm really wasting money on a
lot of ingredients. Especially if I'm just experimenting or
making it for myself. A case in point is I made
this the first time. I want to show you what
the effect is after putting panton leaf in coconut oil and leaving
it over two weeks. This is what it
looks like. Okay? I'll just put this
aside in case it rolls away That I'm going to pour out for you so that you can see what it looks like. The panton leaf has been
infused in coconut oil for two weeks and it's
been filtered out. And I've kept this
in this bottle, this is what it looks like. All right, So you can see
that it's quite green. Our coconut oil, of
course, is transparent. Or in your country, if it's almost a solid,
it will look white. But in my country, it is
actually quite transparent. And if the panda leaf has been infusing in it for a while, this is
what it looks like. It will look green. I
store it in this bottle. I really don't recommend
you keeping the oil, and I will tend to keep
this in the fridge unless I want to show you when it
comes to room temperature. But otherwise, I'll keep it in the fridge just so that the
oils won't turn rancid. I hope that you
can see the impact and what it looks like after two weeks after
you have filtered it and you kept it
in another bottle. In a previous video, I
shared with you how to infuse scents into oil. This is our pandan and coconut. At the same time as
it infuses its scent, it also infuses its cover. If you were to take a sniff, pandan plus coconut
reminds me of a dessert. In the Malay culture, we have dessert like Sal. There's so many desserts that has this coconut
and pandan pairing. Okay, I'll talk to you
about how I smell. I'm going to put it
close to my nose. Pandan is labeled as the
vanilla of the East and so it has a very
warm, quite heavy. It's also paired with coconut. Right? In a previous
video you shared, you saw how I paired
it with coconut. Although coconut is quite
light and tropical, but together with Pandan, I think Pandan overpowers
more of the coconut. Although you get a bit of
a tropical light node, I keep thinking of dessert because that's
what I'm used to. But yeah, so slightly heavy, very warm node. So
that's our pandan. Okay, now we have our
vanilla and coconut. So you see our cut up
vanilla pots there. And if I were to shake this, which I wouldn't for this video, you can see the vanilla seeds. So this one is clearly, you can see the color. Okay, and it's the same. I'm just going to, oh,
you can already see some of the vanilla
seeds, really lovely. Okay, so now I'm going to
just share about the smell. Oh, this is very sweet. It's very sweet. It is
coconut plus vanilla, right? So the vanilla
imparts its sweetness and it mixes really well
with the very light, tropical smell of the coconut. Again, very warm,
overwhelmingly sweet, sweet. I really like it
smells of dessert. I think about food all the time. Yeah, so this one
is a bit heavy. They're both warm notes. This is a bit heavier
than vanilla. Vanilla has a sweet note, but Panda is a bit more in
a mature, deep, warm note. Okay, I shared the
previous video that the oils you should be using are fractionated coconut oil. If you're making your
own reed diffuser, I'll show you how we
make and incorporate the homemade sense into our
homemade reed diffuser.
5. Coffee Infused Sweet Almond Oil: For my homemade Read Diffuser, I'm going to be
using almond oil. And this is what
almond oil looks like, a very light yellow. The reason why I want to
share this with you is you can make all sorts of
infused oils, right? In the previous
video, you saw how I infused pandan into
coconut oil, right? This one, the label has already come off because I was
washing the bottle and the ink came off here. I was trying to infuse coffee. I had coffee beans and I have actually infused
it in sweet almond oil. I put coffee beans inside here. You can already see some
of the coffee particles, so I put coffee
beans inside here. And then I put the sweet
almond oil inside. I do a cold infusion. I wrap this with a black cloth and I leave
it for a few weeks. Then after that, I
strain out the oil. This is the oil that I get. This is my coffee
sweet, almond oil. If I were to take a sniff, yeah, I really get the coffee. Not quite subtle,
not very strong, but I do get the coffee
note for this method, you can leave the
coffee infusion out for like two weeks or so, which I wouldn't recommend if you're doing
for fresh Pandan. Yeah, coffee is a
dry ingredient. It's okay to leave it in, you won't get so
much probability of having microbes and so on. But for fresh Pandan, I wouldn't leave it
in the infusion, in the bottle for too long. Because how we created
Pandan earlier was with fresh pandan leaves and fresh pandan leaves
contain a bit of moisture. You really wouldn't want
to leave it for too long. This is already been out
for about a week or so. I think that's the point
where I will use it. Yeah, I'm not going to
leave it for a long time. About a week max is how long
I will leave the pandan out. That's the difference
between using fresh herbs and you wouldn't want to leave this out to
get infused for too long, no longer than a week. And that's the difference
between that and dry. If you're using dry materials, then I think it's much
safer because there's a lack of moisture with
your dry ingredients. Have fun thinking about the botanical
products you want to infuse and the
kind of carry oils that you're going to
use to infuse it in.
6. Solubility of Natural Ingredients in Oil: When you're making your
own botanical products and you're trying to experiment, it's important to see how each ingredient will react
with another ingredient. What I have, in my
previous video, I showed you how I infused pandan leaf into
coconut oil, right? So two weeks later, this is the result that you get. Okay. I also want to share with you what I experimented with. I just want to share with
you at any one time, I actually have a couple of different experiments running. All these are infused in oil. Let me just share with you what they are so you
know how they work. So I labeled it so that I know, for example, I'll label
it with the date here. It says coffee infuse,
sweet almond oil. I've put coffee beans
in sweet almond oil. And then after doing
my solar infusion, I use solar infusion because
the coffee beans are dry. The rest of this are all
dry powder. It's okay. You won't run too much risk of your oils being
rancid or developing a delicious territory for your
microbes like bacteria and yeast and mol because all these other products
are free of water. Okay. But I just wanted to share with you all
my experiments. This one is coffee bean, in almond almond oil. There's so many
products that you can create with this. Sweet. Almond oil is also a light oil. You may want to have
your own diffuser. We'll see what we can create. And then I have beet
root in coconut. Beet root is really
good with water. It will dissolve very
well with water. But you can see it is not making any friends at all
with our coconut oil. It does not dissolve
in coconut oil, so it's just important
for you to know. Yeah, it's just
important for us to just experiment and see what
works and what doesn't. But if you're looking for
a red, a botanical red, and something that infuses
very well with oil, this would be our alcan root. Yeah. So our alcan root. These are our alcan
root in coconut oil. And you can see that it is
very, very evenly dissolved. Okay. Something that is partly
but not fully dissolved in coconut oil is
our red yeast, rice. Okay, our rice powder. So you can see that
there's a lot partying at the bottom and they just refuse to mingle with
the rest of the oil. But the oil is
quite stained red, but not as good as I would
think. My al cont root. Yeah. I just want to
just share with you all my different
experiments that you will run wild and run free, and maybe make your cupboard
and your fridge into a lab. Just to see what ingredients
work well with others, what plays nice, what
doesn't play nice. And to create an experiment
with your own concoctions.
7. Steps To Making A Reed Diffuser With Scented Oils: Now that we have
learned how to make scented oils through the
process of coal immersion, we can design products with it. In this video as well as the following ones I'll be
showing you how to make your own homemade reed diffuser with the coffee infused sweet
almond oil as the base, Along with other essential oils. To make a more complex sent, I'll be covering some
considerations for what alternative oils you
can use for your homemade. Reed diffuser, using easy
to source ingredients. Following that, we will
cover what essential oils will go well with the coffee scented carrier oil that I have. I'll take you along with me as I work out the
scent combination. Then we have to find a bottle to place the scented oils into. I'll also be sharing
some aspects to look at. We'll finish off with assembling the homemade red
diffuser elements so that you can always
create a personalized, fragrant product for your home.
8. Suitable Carrier Oils for DIY Reed Diffuser Oils: Now, what oils are you
going to be using for your carrier oil in order for you to make your
homemade reed diffuser? Here are two alternatives. One is sweet almond oil. I use this a lot and
you can see this is the oil forming at the bottom of the bottle and it is
very lightly colored. You can hardly just a
slightly, a bit yellow. The other oil I'll recommend
is fractionated coconut oil, not the same as this one. Okay? This is extra virgin coconut
oil is very, very different. Fractionated coconut oil is a different oil which is much
thinner and also unscented. The reason why these oils are selected is because
they're thin enough. But in the case
of your homemade, reed diffuser is also
something that is thin enough. Now here is our reed
diffuser, right? So you'll need the
carrier oil to carry your essential
oil up the red. So you need something
that is light enough. If it's too heavy, the oil is not going to
travel up the red. So what you need
is something that is thin and these two are thin. Okay. The other
reason why they are chosen is because they
don't have their own scent. It has very little to no scent. Sweet almond oil, and FCO has
basically no sent at all. The other reason could be if it's something
that you are particular about here you can see
the oil collecting here. It is actually very yellow. And you'll see it in
the upcoming video. This is seen oil, our CO is transparent. These are not the
only alternatives. Some people use flower oil and there are many
different kinds of oils. Look out for these
three factors. Is the oil thin enough? Is the oil centered? Is the oil lightly colored? These are some of
the considerations that you need to take note of when you're trying to make your homemade at diffuser.
9. Scent Combination for a Gourmand-themed Reed Diffuser: So now we come the fun part of our homemade wheat diffuser. What kind of scent combination
do you want to try? In the previous video,
I shared with you how vanilla had been
infused in coconut. And look, the oil has
traveled down the paper. Yeah, this is a
wonderful sweets. I really love the scent. I wish I can have scent
for my what diffuser. But as you know, coconut oil is not a very good carry oil for
your homemade. What diffuser. Okay. So put this aside, but you might want to see how your scent
combination works, right? For you to do that.
Prepare your sent strips. And I'm just going to
put this aside in, you know, can be quite clumsy, so I'm going to put it away
in case I knock over it. And we are going to see how
these scents work together. The concept that I'm
going for is goma scent. So you can see I selected my vanilla and coconut
and I have lavender. I know lavender is,
it's not goma per se, but I've eaten a lot of like lavender infused
cheesecake and so on, and I quite like how
that turned out. Then I have my sweet orange and I want to say something
about sweet orange. So for sweet orange,
as you know, citrus essential oils are one of the first
to go off, right? So this project is a good
project if you're thinking of trying to use up your oils before they go off,
right before they spoil. So this is a very
good project to use. And lastly, I have
my bergamo, right? Because your bergamo
is something that's also present
in your El Grate. I think all these will make a
good mix and not to forget. Remember, I shared with you that this sweet almond oil has already been infused
with coffee. Right? So I'm just
going to kick a swipe of this into the coffee scent. Okay. All right. We will see how this
scent combination works. So sweet orange, lavender. If I'm playing
around with sense, I usually like to put them in these bottles with
their own dropper. It's so much more convenient
than using it straight from the using the arrest, something that you
might want to try to. Lastly, a Bergamo, let's see
how they all work together. What you're going to do is you are going to put them together, bring them to your nose and
see if you like the smell. Yeah, what you're going to do is bring it
up to your nose, wave it around, take short breaths and see if the combination is
something that you like. I do like it. I'm going to show you the combination of drops
that I'm going to do. They can see how much
I'm putting of each. I'm going to put this
aside again now. This is coffee infuse,
sweet almond oil. That I did before I was
going to film this tutorial, but I did share with
you how you can infuse any her or potential
ingredients into your oil. Right, What we did was using fresh pandan leaves
infused and coconut oil. You can do the same
method, you're just changing the
botanical ingredient. In this case I'm using
coffee bean and your oil. In this case I'm using
sweet almond oil. In this case, this has already
been infused with coffee. But this is going to
be my base, right, my coffee infused base oil. So, I'll put this aside, and this is already 70 milliliters. So here's the breakdown. I am going to do my Gorman. This is the metallic duo. It's a bit purple. It's
a bit blue anyway, so I have other videos related
to lettering if you like. Okay, so this is going to be 100 milliliters for
read, diffuser. You can do either a 25
to 35% concentration and I'm going to do
a 30% concentration. Mine is going to
be 30% all right? That means that 30 M L is
going to be my essential oils. And oils. And 70 ML is
going to be my carrier oil. Okay, so of these, I have my sweet orange, I have my burger more, I have my lavender. And of course, this is
already coffee infused. Lastly, I will have
my vanilla coco. Okay, although I love
this scent the most, but because it is
in a coconut oil, coconut, it doesn't pass up the red because oils tend to
dampen the top nodes. And I want a more citrus
heavy fragrance for the home. I will go with a Three is the two is the one
combination of top, middle, and base nodes. Don't worry if you don't
know what they are, because I will go much deeper
into middle and base nodes. When we get to the later perfume making segments of the course, let me describe
the scent profiles of the essential oils that are selected to create a
Gorman themed scent for the red diffuser. The top nodes are
represented by sweet, orange and bergamot
essential oils. These are bright, sweet
and citrusy sense. The middle node is
represented by lavender that imparts a floral green,
slightly herbaceous scent. The base node is provided by the vanilla that
gives us a sweet, rich, creamy warm scent pad with the tropical
note of coconut. Thus, for a 30 milliliter
combination of scented oils, using a three is the two
is the one combination, we will have sweet orange and
burger moot essential oils, 15 milliliter, lavender,
ten milliliter, and vanilla coconut,
five milliliter. If you look at this, five plus ten plus ten plus five
makes up 30, right? So the concept that I'm going for is it's a
relaxing environment. So coffee, right? You think about coffee when you're at a cafe or something. Just relaxing. And
then I love dessert. I love food, I love
dessert especially. And that's where all
the vanilla comes in. I don't think you have
coffee together with tea, but you know in a
cafe you have people, some people sipping tea, some people drinking coffee. And that is going to be the kind of concept
I'm going for, for this re diffuser
for your own. You might want to,
again, look at your different sense and see if they work
very well together. You can think about
a concept, right, and what you want the read
diffuser to do for you. And then you can select the
sense that you want, right? So this is going to be my
gourmand read diffuser. And this is the recipe
that I worked out, and now we're going to
create it together.
10. Bottles to use for a Reed Diffuser: Creating your
homemade red diffuser is really simple here. You have your carrier
oil and you have your essential oils and also your Read diffuser sticks.
That's all you need. Now I want to talk about the
bottle that you are going to put diffuser into. Let's talk about the kind bottle or container that you're going to be using for your
homemade Read diffuser. Now, here I have this bottle. Yeah, ideally, of course, you're going to be using
a glass bottle here. I have this beautiful
glass bottle. I really like the hexagon, hexagonal shape, and I think it's really,
really pretty, right. The problem with
this is that it has a very big white neck, and this is why you
wouldn't want to use it because if you're going to be leaving your read diffuser
there for a while, the oil attracts dust. And that's something
that would be very unappetizing for you
to look at in the long run. So I wouldn't recommend as
pretty as the bottle is. This white neck is a no? No. Instead, I'll be using something else,
Another glass bottle. And this is what it looks
like. It's really cute. It looks like a light bulb. Yeah. I'm going to take out. Of course, I'm not
using the top. And this is so much better
because you can see that the diffuser stick will
fit into this neck. But at the same time, it
doesn't leave too much space. It won't accumulate
so much dust. The oil, the carrier oil is not going to accumulate
so much dust. That's really important. I hope that you're able to find the right glass that
you're going to be using for your
homemade diffuser.
11. Assembling the Reed Diffuser Components: Again before you create
your homemade red diffuser. Bring this again to your nose. Be very sure that it's
something that you want. If we can see that this 15 ML is almost half of
my whole composition. The reason is because oils will tend to dampen
your top note. I want to put more of
my citrus notes there. Okay, I already
have the speaker. It's very, very useful
when it has a spout. So it's easy to just pour
into this container. Now, I'm going to be
pouring the rest. I'm very sure about
my stand combination. Now. It's time to
put these oils in. Okay. I'll put my paper
somewhere else for reference. Okay, It's time to do this. I'll take first my
vanilla and coconut. Now, using a beaker is really, really convenient because
you can always look at the different measurements
and you know when to stop. Another good one to use would be a pipe or a dropper because
it also has measurements. But I don't like
using this so much. I prefer to use glass. I can always wash glass after I'm done and
I can reuse again. Whereas if I were
to use the dropper, I keep this boating of them. Okay. Our very first one is
going to be our vanilla. I'm just going to
put five ML of this. Okay, so that's five ML. This is vanilla and coffee. I must say that the coffee in this particular
beaker overpowers the vanilla a little bit. I can still a bit
of the sweet notes. Next, our lavender
lavender is going to be, according to our
calculation, we have ten. I'm going to be pouring the rest of the lavender inside here. This container is
10 milliliters. Okay, So that's ten
M L of our lavender. Again, put this aside so
you know you're done. Next, we have 15 ML left. Your bergamo is ten. Okay. Five ma left, and that is
coming from our sweet orange. Okay. And that makes 100 ML. I'm just going to
take a quick sniff. I love it. I really wish you can put
in a bit more vanilla. And perhaps if you want
to have the vanilla note, you can put it in the
sweet almond oil itself. But it's very hard to get
the coconut oil note, unless maybe you prefer to
use frequence oil instead. Okay. Because I wanted to try naturally infused
botanicals in oil. That was the only way to go. Now, take a container
that you're going to use for
your homemade bef, you can this into
your container. When doing steps like this, it's always very useful
to have plastic, like what I do here, plastic on your surface, or you can always use like a tray so that if any oil
spills it'll be okay. Now, we're going to cap it all by putting our
red diffuser stick. This is the final step and
then we're good to go. That's all it's done. There you are. You'll be placing this somewhere
in your room. I can already smell
the citrus notes. Yeah, there you go. You have your homemade
read diffuser. You may want to
decorate your bottle. Here. I have done several prototypes and I've decided to go with
this one, right? So I thought that white would complement my red
diffuser stick color. I'm going to share
with you where I placed this red diffuser
and what it looks like.
12. Thank You! And Your Class Project: If you found this course useful, I'll appreciate it so much. If you could leave a review
so that this course would be made more visible and other
students can benefit too. Feel free to contact me because I want to
continue designing classes and courses that you and future students can
gain so much value from. Got questions. Pop the questions under the Q and A column for me to answer because I'm sure other students might have
the same questions too. I hope that this class
has opened up to you the possibilities of how you can extract sense
through oil infusion, enjoy the great outdoors, the birds chopping,
get out into nature, and then try to see if there is any item that you like that you are taken by the
smell and you'd like to see if it can be
extracted in oil. Pick this plant, matter
whether it's petals of a flower or whether it is
bark or pot and so on, and then bring it home. Or you can go to the heart of your kitchen and
try to see if there is anything that
you'd like to smell of that you'd like to extract. Then think about the
extraction agent. What do you want
to use as the oil? Do you want to use park oil? Do you want to use
sweet almond oil? Do you want to use coconut oil? Snap a picture of
your oil infusion. And I would love to see
what plant method you have decided to use for this project. I may be from a
different country from you and I'm so
excited to see what people from around
the world have in their natural outdoors as
well as in their kitchen. If you'd like to get
in touch with me or you have questions
that I can help you with, you can visit the
community section of this class and post
a new discussion. Or you can find me on
Instagram at Join Hands, as well as my website at Join Hands.com Thanks for taking on this class and I'd love
to see you in another one.
