A fragrance that smells like Christmas!
It is very easy to make an interior perfume to embalm the living rooms or perfume the Christmas tree with essential oils that can dissolve in alcohol.
This does not replace the essential oil diffuser, but it can help deodorize rooms in a wink or create a Zen atmosphere quickly.
For a successful Christmas scent, it combines the sweetness of the sweet orange oil with spicy notes of cinnamon and clove ...
Ingredients and accessories for home fragrance:
- 25 drops of essential oil of sweet orange (gasoline zest)
- 5 drops of essential oil of cloves
- 2 drops of essential oil of cinnamon leaf or bark
- 5-6 tablespoons of alcohol 70 ° (or failing good very strong alcoholic vodka market)
- Option to better solubilize the essential oils in alcohol: 1 teaspoon vegetable glycerin coffee (at the drugstore or on the Internet)
- 1 spray bottle 50ml at least, thoroughly clean and dry
- 1 small funnel
- 5 drops of essential oil of cloves
- 2 drops of essential oil of cinnamon leaf or bark
- 5-6 tablespoons of alcohol 70 ° (or failing good very strong alcoholic vodka market)
- Option to better solubilize the essential oils in alcohol: 1 teaspoon vegetable glycerin coffee (at the drugstore or on the Internet)
- 1 spray bottle 50ml at least, thoroughly clean and dry
- 1 small funnel
In a spray bottle thoroughly clean and dry at least 50ml, pour the drops of essential oils and glycerine and alcohol. Mix well by shaking the closed vial. Keep in the fridge for 24 hours before first use.
Tip: Spray on the tree or in the corners of the living rooms, as when a home fragrance. Avoid spraying on fragile textiles.
Decorate your home with an apple that wafts Amber!
The apple Amber is actually orange. I present in the video above taken from our show on France 3 NPDC.
The idea is pricked with cloves and orange laying or suspends it in the house. It cleans the air, delicately perfumes, and especially it hunts moths! So ideal in closets!
This precious orange comes from the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. The poorest people were inspired by the famous "sweet potato" or "pomander" that the nobles used to scent, chase away bad luck and diseases. Why does it work? Because clove releases its aromatic molecules including phenols in the heart of the orange. These molecules are potent antioxidant (dry but does not rot orange) and the smell of eugenol mingles with the scent of orange to hunt moths and pleasing to us. Note that a real apple Amber should be completely covered with cloves. The orange covered and dry in 2 weeks and never rots. But if v e do not have time to plant 150 cloves in a fruit, do not panic. One can make apples Amber less elaborate with children with fewer cloves to make designs on the fruit.

Some tips:
- Take a good round and orange farm, cloves (one hundred) and a pretty ribbon if you hang.
- Pierce the skin of the orange with a knitting needle, but without too much pressure, to facilitate insertion clove nails (they must not break!).
- if you want to hang an orange, orange Coat before the sting with two pieces of sticky paper to form a cross at or pass the ribbon. Or go right off the ribbon around the orange and tie it. In this way, nor plant nails in the wrong place and the composition will be balanced.
- You can put it on a table decorated with fruit, but let dry for about 24 hours on a plate not to stain your furniture.

My wishes for 2014, and yours.
So now, the year ends. My god happened fast!
I accept of course the release of my very complete book on Vegetable Oils (click) but I also remember the boom that has taken our beautiful Association Slow Cosmetics (click to the official website) and the output of Official Guide Slow Cosmetics ( click).
You no longer have excuses not to go to the natural beauty, eh?
Thank you anyway for your loyalty warmly to my blog which remains one of the most visited blog in the Francophonie, thanks to you. I always strive to keep without advertising (above the pub is that of FR3 on dailymotion, I do not know the stop), as my Youtube channel (click to subscribe to this great chain and that no ads I wonder if this is the only who have not yet switched to the race gains ;-)), and respond somehow to your many questions (sometimes too many mail), because I think everyone of you is worth it and so I bring my little stone to a world a little more sense.
For 2014, I wish us all one year E-TO-LI-BREE!
Why a balanced year?
Because excess night in all, because we all live a hundred miles an hour and sometimes we do not know where to turn, because we are inundated with conflicting information, and because I ' am convinced over time that the secret of a happy life is to have a little bit of everything at the table: Zen much as the chambard, passion as much as kindness, laughter as much as tears but always in the right measure.
I made you a little drawing:
