To make your own oil, soak at least ten successive batches of fresh petals in olive, safflower, or ben oil, leaving each batch in the oil for a day or two. When finished, strain and keep in a tightly closed container.
   Here's a list of herbs to make oils from:
Bergamot, bitter almond, caraway, dill, eucalyptus, fennel, gardenia, heliotrope, honeysuckle, jasmine, lavender, lemon, lemon verbena, lilac, lime, meadowsweet, narcissus, orange flower (neroli oil), peppermint, rose (attar), rosemary, rosewood, sandalwood, tonka bean, vanilla, wallflower.

   As with any kind of herb or fruit, remember to use a tiny amount, diluted, on an area like your wrist so as to check and see if you have allergies to the oil.

A great book on herbs is "The Herb Book" by John Lust.
