⚠️ You can remove the water completely if you're making Extrait or EDP and replace water quantity with oil, especially if you want a more oil-rich blend.
 
MACERATION:
Store in a cool, dark place for 2–6 weeks.
This allows the alcohol and oil to blend and mellow out.
Gently swirl every few days.
 
☁️ Optional Step:
If it appears cloudy(This mainlay occours due to the added water ) after maceration, filter it through a coffee filter or muslin cloth before bottling.
Its always better to mix without water 
 
PRO TIPS:
Use glycerin (1–2%) or Polysorbate 20 if you want the oil to blend faster and give better performance on skin.
