Chapter 493 The male protagonist's cannon fodder cousin (16)
Fortunately, the system warehouse has a lot of 95% medical alcohol and several jars of high-strength vodka.
I forgot which little world stocked the vodka, but thanks to her hoarding habit, it has come in handy now.
According to the tips in "Perfume Recipes", high-strength vodka is more suitable for blending perfume than medical alcohol because the alcohol smell is relatively lighter.
Of course, the most suitable one was the alcohol specifically designed to remove aldehydes for perfume, which had a lighter smell. But she didn’t stock up on this, so she could only use vodka instead.
She made a note on her notepad. When she goes to the modern small world to do tasks in the future, she must remember to stock up on some dealdehyde alcohol, as some small world may need it.
When she was ready, she asked the maid to leave the study and prepared to prepare the concoction.
"You are not allowed to come in without my order."
"Yes, girl."
Zi Yuan and Hong Qian did not leave after exiting, but stood guard at the door of the study.
Xu Yin called out the "Perfume Recipe" prepared by the system, turned to the lavender and rosemary pages, and found that there was no single lavender perfume or rosemary perfume, but other fragrances, such as bergamot and rose.
Sandalwood, mint...
What's going on?
Otherwise, she creates one of her own?
Xu Yin thought that everything was ready, but she felt itchy if she didn't give it a try.
Just throw away the perfume formula and make your own!
At most, a few drops of essential oil and a few drops of vodka are wasted, and distilled water is free.
Therefore, Xu Yin wanted to run away before she could walk. She threw away the "Perfume Recipe" and started mixing it by herself.
First, take a pure lavender perfume with 20 drops of lavender essential oil and 70ml of vodka to see how it tastes.
Let’s take another fusion perfume of 10 drops of lavender, 10 drops of rosemary and 70ml of vodka. I don’t know what kind of sparks the two will create.
Then, make a small trial with 15 drops of lavender, 5 drops of rosemary, 15 drops of rosemary and 5 drops of lavender respectively with 70ml of vodka.
Finally, add 20 drops of rosemary essential oil and 70ml of vodka pure rosemary scented perfume.
Five groups were temporarily prepared, stir gently until fully mixed, and then poured into a dark brown glass bottle.
Two days later, add 30ml of distilled water to the five bottles, stir gently, and let it sit for a few days before the perfume is ready.
While waiting, Xu Yin was not idle. She found a few empty flower pots and planted several pots of mint.
Winter is coming soon, so we won’t plant any seeds in the mountains. If we plant them, they might freeze to death.
Let's wait until next spring to plant them in batches. Now we can plant some in small quantities in other yards.
Take it to the courtyard to bask in the sun during the day, and take it indoors at night.
Mint has strong vitality and can grow well as long as it is not too cold or too sunny.
As the planted mint seeds began to germinate, Xu Yin thought of the perfume in the corner of the study room, which seemed to have been left undisturbed for many days.
She washed her hands and face, except burning incense, and prayed that the first time she mixed the perfume would be successful.
Zi Yuan and Hong Qian gathered around her curiously, watching her solemnly unscrew the No. 1 bottle of pure lavender scented perfume.
"Wow! Is this the perfume the girl was talking about? It really smells good!"
"Better than the spices in lavender clothes!"
Indeed! It smells so good!
Pure lavender perfume is too strong.
Xu Yin put it aside and continued to open bottle No. 2.
Bottle No. 2 is half lavender and half rosemary.
“This scent is refreshing.”
"A little lighter than the one just now."
Xu Yin nodded and continued to open bottles No. 3 and No. 4.
The two maids continued to express their opinions:
"Slave likes the perfume in bottle No. 3, it's fragrant but not greasy."
"My slave likes the perfume in bottle No. 4. It has a light and refreshing fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed."
The last product to appear is bottle No. 5 of pure rosemary.
Xu Yin's eyes lit up: "This is good, fragrant, but not strong. If you smell it carefully, there is a faint medicinal fragrance, which is very refreshing."
She recorded the mixing proportions and scents of the five perfumes one by one.
Then give No. 3 and No. 4 to Zi Yuan and Hong Qian. These are their respective favorites.
For No. 1 pure lavender, she planned to add some distilled water, stir it gently and let it sit for a few days to see if the fragrance could be blended into a lighter scent.
It's really too rich, a bit too thick.
Perfume No. 2 and Perfume No. 5, the fragrance is okay, so I will keep them for now.
Overall, it was quite successful.
Later, grow more spices and mix them as in the recipe to see if you can get a bigger breakthrough.
"Girl, will this perfume be sold in spice shops in the future?" Zi Yuan asked.
Xu Yin shook her head: "I won't sell it for now. Let's wait until we find something more satisfactory."
The maid thought that she was not satisfied with the perfume she had mixed up so far, and secretly said that the girl was very demanding, and she was not satisfied with such a good-smelling perfume.
In fact, the dissatisfaction is just an excuse. The main reason is that there is no high concentration of alcohol and mass production is impossible.
You can't always use the medical alcohol and vodka stored in her system warehouse, right?
Besides, you can tell from the system's silence that these perfumes are far from meeting the mission requirements. So if she mass-produces them and sells them, isn't it a waste of alcohol and vodka?
It's better to wait until she creates the "legendary fragrance that amazes the world" before deciding whether to mass-produce it.
Just when Xu Yingou was mixing perfume and planting mint in the Tea Mountain Villa, Xu's Perfumes, because of the newly put essential oils on the shelves, wiped out the deserted atmosphere after the death of the master and his wife.
In Xu Yin's view, the price of essential oils is already high enough, and it is not affordable for ordinary people.
But Luocheng is one of the ten major capitals of this dynasty, and there are many dignitaries and nobles who have settled here. Firstly, they are not short of money; secondly, the female relatives of various houses love to compare themselves, especially those of the same level. Do you compare with me? How can that be done?
No, I heard that Xu's spice shop has new spices, and they are not ordinary spices.
I heard from store owners that these two new fragrances, one called lavender essential oil, can dye the bath water with a natural floral fragrance with just a small drop, and the body will also be dyed with a light floral fragrance after bathing.
And this floral fragrance is not an ordinary floral fragrance, it is extracted from novel flowers imported from overseas.
Put a few drops in the aromatherapy burner before going to bed, which can soothe the mind and help you sleep; if you encounter redness and swelling due to insect bites or swelling and pain after stumbling, this essential oil can also reduce swelling and relieve pain;
Another product called rosemary essential oil, in addition to the quiet and unique fragrance of bathing, regular massage, it is said that the loose skin can become firm and elastic again.
As soon as these two essential oils were launched on the market, they won the praise of women in various houses.
In the past, the aromatherapy sold in spice shops were either incense sticks such as sandalwood, or pastes such as balm, or at the worst, aromatherapy extracted from crushed flowers. Have you ever seen an oil-like aromatherapy? I haven’t used it yet.
, just smelling it makes you feel like you are in the midst of fragrant flowers.
Regardless of whether their saggy skin suddenly regains the firmness and elasticity it had when they were young, a few drops in the bath will make them feel like they have an elegant and nice-smelling body fragrance.
Add a few drops of lavender before going to bed to help you sleep and calm your mind.
During the day, I lit an aromatherapy burner dripping with rosemary essential oil, and the children at home said that they recited poems more efficiently.
It can be seen that the effect is indeed very good.
