I can give you a basic recipe from my fav. lady Jackie French I've made this and its good
Fill a jar with scented rose petals or lavender or jasmine flowers add a tablespoon of very thinly peeled lemon or orange peel no pith add 1/2 cup vodka and seal tightly leave 3 days strain off the vodka and add more fresh flowers repeat till the vodka smells stunning and you have a simple perfume
1. it can change scent over a few months so be warned
2. watch for allergies and some flowers can stain cloths
3. throw out homemade perfume if is smells off grows fungus or looks odd

Basic Perfume Recipe
This is one of the simplest recipes for perfume making you can do at home.
Ingredients:
2 cup of water
1 cup fresh chopped flower blossoms
Directions:
In a bowl place a cheesecloth where the edges are hanging over the bowl. Fill with 1 cup of flower blossoms of your choice. Pour water over the flowers until they are completely covered.
Cover and let sit overnight. The next day using the edges of cheesecloth pull it out of the bowl and gently squeeze the scented water into a small pot. Simmer the water until about 1 teaspoon is left. Cool and place into a small bottle. Making perfume this way has a shelf life of about 1 month.
Other suggestions for flowers: Lavender, Lilac, Orange Blossoms or even Honeysuckle. Anything that is highly fragrant works best.

I know that the craft store Michaels has a nice beginners set to make body spray, lip balm and lotions. And it inexpensive especially if you get the forty percent off coupon out of the sunday paper that they put out every week.
