Do you have a shelf full of old scents you no longer use? The good news is that if you are not going to use them on your body, you can put them to good use instead of throwing them away. Here are 6 ideas for repurposing your old scents and giving them a new life.
1. Personalise Your Potpourri
Potpourri is made from a mixture of dried flowers, herbs, spices, and other natural materials that are used for their pleasant aroma to freshen up a living space without using artificial air fresheners or candles. Sprinkle a few drops of perfume onto your potpourri to add your own choice of scent. It can be placed in bowls, sachets, or other decorative containers to add a wonderful aroma to your room, cupboard, or drawer.
2. Room & Linen Spray
Instead of using costly room and linen sprays, you can make your own by repurposing your old perfumes. Mix one part of perfume and two parts of water in a spray bottle and use it to renew the scent in any room, as well as your linens, curtains, and furniture. This is the perfect way to add a touch of your favourite scent to your living spaces.
3. Scented Candles
Making your own scented candles is an easy and creative way to repurpose your old scents. Carefully melt candle wax in a double boiler or in the microwave. Add a few drops of your old fragrance to the melted wax, stirring gently to ensure the scent is evenly distributed. Pour the mixture into a candle jar or mould, and insert a candle wick into the centre. Allow it to cool and harden completely before using.
You can experiment with different amounts and mixtures of perfume to find the perfect scent for your candle. This fun and eco-friendly way to add personal style to your home decor also reduces waste.
