Oh no, those are bad ideas...I found a recipe for homemade solid perfume you can make yourself. If that's a good idea for you to try out? Here it is:
You will need-
small 10 ounce jar with lid
3 teaspoons grated beeswax
1/2 cup petroleum jelly
1/4 ounce of essential oil ( your fave choices)
empty soup can, clean and empty
Directions-
place beeswax and petroleum jelly into the can
Fill a small pot with 3 inches of water
Bring the water to boiling, reduce heat to low
place can inside until the mixture is melted stirring frequently
remove from heat and mix in your oils.
Then pour it into your jar, with the lid off until it's cooled.
Place in the fridge until solid. Hope this helps! ;)

Ingredients :
• Essential oils
• Pure grain alcohol (vodka)
• Water
Directions :
Perfume is simple to make, the trick is to put the essential oils together creating a smell you like. Perfume is made up of base notes (the smell stays the longest on your skin), middle notes (smell stays second longest), and top notes (smell of oil evaporates first). Because the oils all evaporate at different rates the perfume may smell different as time goes on. Below are listed easily found essential divided into base, middle and top notes.
• Base notes-cedar wood cinnamon patchouli, sandalwood, vanilla
• Middle notes-clove, geranium, lemongrass, bottle nutmeg, neroli, ylang-ylang
• Top notes-bergamot, lavender lemon lime neroli
• Bridge-vanilla, lavender (add a few drops to join base, middle and top notes together)
To make your perfume, mix at least 25 drops total of essential oils divided evenly between base, middle and top notes. Start with the base notes, then middle, then top, smelling as you go. Add a few drops of the bridge oil. Add 2 1/2 ounces of alcohol, shake for a few minutes, then let it sit for 48 hours (or up to 6 weeks-the longer it sits, the stronger the smell). Add 2 tablespoons spring water, stir, then pour through a coffee filter and put it in a bottle.

At the drug store, get a jar of unscented vaseline or baby oil or rubbing alcohol. Then go to the supermarket and get various food flavors - vanilla, rose, orange, lemon, lavender, etc.
Go home, mix the flavors with the vaseline or oil or alcohol.
Viola!
Another way - read the book "perfume" It details perfume making.

Toilet Water is easy. First flush the toilet and help yourself.
Perfume is harder, but you can mix vanilla extract with some flower petals
Find a good smelling candle and rub that on you.
