If you have the Ancient Oils of Scripture Collection, here’s an AMAZING (and easy) perfume recipe to try! I think I’m in love! Seriously – so rich and exotic!
The inspiration came from a time when I stored my Scripture oils in a drawer in the bathroom. Every time I opened that drawer, my bathroom would be filled with the most intoxicating aroma – like a very expensive perfume – without the toxic after-scent! Even after I moved the collection to a closet, that drawer smelled like Heaven!
So I decided to just experiment and I’m thrilled with the result! Simply take 1 drop of each oil in the collection (except for Cassia – Cassia tries to take over, so leave her controlling-self home!).
Then finish it off with 1 extra drop of Rose of Sharon! Because…well, there’s just NOTHING like Rose of Sharon (aka: Cistus)!
Warning, again, this is a base-note heavy perfume; so it can be a powerful aphrodisiac! You are welcome, darling! 😘

Although this blend makes an intensely romantic perfume, I’ve found that it’s also a wonderful blend to use during prayer. I like to put 1 drop of this blend on a page of my Bible. Try it! You’ll see what I mean!
