Instructions

    • 1

      Add 20 drops of tobacco essential oil to a small glass bowl. Use a disposable plastic pipette, which can be found at a craft store along with the other items needed in this project. Using disposable pipettes keeps you from accidentally mixing essential and fragrant oils in their vials.

    • 2

      Add eight drops of campfire fragrance oil to the small dish with a separate disposable pipette. Campfire fragrance oil possesses an uncanny resemblance to the smell of fire. When added to the scent of the tobacco, it will mimic a fragrance that resembles a burning cigarette.

    • 3

      Pour 4 oz. of carrier oil to an oil vial or jar. An ideal carrier oil for this blend is grape seed, because it is a light oil that holds scent delicately. A heavier oil such as coconut may mask the smell of fire and tobacco, but it can also be used if other carrier oils aren't available.

    • 4

      Use a disposable pipette to draw up the blended oils from the glass dish. Squirt the oil blend into the carrier oil in the container.

    • 5

      Close the oil vial or jar securely and shake it vigorously for a minute. This fully mixes the carrier oil and fragrance oil. The scent is completed and ready for use.
