Can you use a few drops of your favourite cologne/perfume in your homemade lampe Berger oil or does it have to be an oil based fragrance/essential oil?

Making your own oils can save a lot of money but there are precautions that need to be taken every time you light your container as well as when you are making your oils.
Most sites have a long list of instructions so I have found writing down some of the important points gives me a check-list that I can follow and then reread instructions to make sure I have hit all the important points.
I also recommend having more than one wick so you have one soaking in alcohol in a good sealable container - ready for use the next time you light your lamp.
You'll understand what I'm talking about if you watch this YouTube video. I suggest turning on the closed caption (cc) so you can see everything that is discussed.

Remember; never use rubbing alcohol - only over 90% will work.
Has to be oil base, the perfume/cologne is more water based and when burned, may smoke more, also the alcohol content if any is different. There are so many types of essential oils that are recommended, but here is a recipe using perfume/cologne - www.hunker.com/
No!! Please do not deviate from the recipe and if recipe says you can, toss it and find a new one.
We have a thread on this site which talked about home made oils. I share a very scary experience I had so I actually discourage people from even making homemade oils.www.thriftyfun.com/
Whatever you decide, never leave these unattended.
