Does anybody know a store that carries simmering oil (home fragrance) that is comparable to Claire Burke?

I am looking for an online store that carries simmering oil (which is like liquid potpourri) that is comparable to Claire Burkes Christmas Memories. They no longer carry this fragrance in simmering oil and I need it desperately.
If you could please name a brand similiar to Clair Burke instead, that would be helpful as well.

Ebay has 6 Claire Burkes Christmas Memories for sale. Amazon has a trio of simmering oils including Christmas Memories (Pumpkin Strudel, Oh Christmas Tree and Christmas fragrancesmemories) for $12.00. http://www.amazon.com/Festive-Simmering-Sampler-Claire-Burke/dp/B000BHDGQ2/ref=pd_bbs_sr_5?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1200451672&sr=8-5

Making your own perfume is a fun and easy way to design new fragrances and make customized, one-of-a-kind gifts. Whether you mix and match essential oils in a vast array of new perfumes or whether you stick to one or two tried and true aromas, you will love the money you save and the novelty of having a fragrance that is truly your very own signature blend. Mixing essential oils to make your own perfume can be a lesson in patience and experimentation. However, once you get that perfect fragrance recipe, you'll never go back to buying the chemically treated perfumes available in the local stores. This Article explains how to mix essential oils for perfume.

Procedure:

To start out, you will need a number of things. Most of them are probably already in your kitchen or craft cabinets. You will need measuring spoons, an eye dropper, and a funnel. You will also need several dark glass bottles with stoppers. You can get these bottles at a cooking store or at a craft or hobby store. To create your fragrances, you will also need essential oils. Use jojoba oil or almond oil as your base. Then supplement these sweet, mild scents with stronger scents like citrus, frankincense, sandalwood, rosemary, jasmine, rose, or bergamot.

All of these essential oils can be purchased at natural foods stores or craft and hobby stores. You can also purchase them in bulk online if you want to buy at a discount. Finally, you will need a bottle of vodka.

Things you will need.

Once you have all your ingredients, start out by mixing your base. You can do this in a small bowl if you plan on making multiple fragrances, or you can mix the base directly in one of the small glass bottles. If you are going to mix the perfume directly in the bottle, First Pour 1 tsp. oil and 1 tsp. vodka into dark glass bottle, using the funnel. Use the almond oil until your "recipes" is perfected, and then makes your final perfume using the Jojoba oil. Add the base essential oil first, then the mid level, then the top, shaking the bottle after each drop of oil. Once completed, cap tightly and store in a cool dark spot for at least 10 days, shaking the bottle three times per day.

Mix oils for Happiness. Place two drops of the base oil--sandalwood--in the bottle. Shake well after each drop. Place two drops of the mid-level oil--bergermot--into the bottle. Shake well after each drop. Place one drop each of the top oils--jasmine and rose--into the bottle, again making sure to shake well after each. Cap the bottle and let rest for at least 10 days, shaking the bottle three times per day. And Mix oils to inspire you. Place one drop of the base oil--frankincense--in the bottle. Shake well. Place two drops of the mid-level oil--spearment--into the bottle. Shake well after each drop. Place 3three drops each of the top oils--grapefruit and rosemary--into the bottle, again making sure to shake well after each. Cap the bottle and let rest for at least 10 days, shaking the bottle three times per day.

Mix oils for a clean fresh scent. Place two drops of the base oil--sandalwood--in the bottle. Shake well after each drop. Place three drops of the mid-level oil--bergermot--into the bottle. Shake well after each drop. Place three drops of the top oil--cassis--into the bottle, again making sure to shake well after each. Cap the bottle and let rest for at least 10 days, shaking the bottle three times per day.

Once you have completed your mixes, you will need to stopper the bottles and store them in a cool, dark place for at least ten days. Shake them thoroughly at least three times each day. At the end of this period, your perfume will be complete. Do not be surprised if the way your perfume smells changes slightly over the ten days. This is not unusual, and you may need to compensate for this in your next batch. For example, if the perfume smells sweeter than you want, then you might need to add less of a sweet smell and a little more of a stronger spicier smell next time.

As you mix your perfumes, think about what smells will be compatible together. You might try several popular mixtures and then alter them to suit your taste. For example, many experts in aromatherapy believe that a combination of sandalwood, bergamot, jasmine and rosemary will inspire happiness, while frankincense, grapefruit and rosemary will help fuel inspiration. Add just one drop of each of these scents at first, then adjust to make the scent exactly what you want. Be careful when working with peppermint essential oil because it can be overwhelming, but it is also very invigorating and can be a great aromatherapeutic treatment when worn in moderation.

As you mix more and more perfumes, you will develop a sense for what smells good and what does not work together. You may enjoy developing your new fragrances, or you might like using proven recipes. Before you wear your perfumes, make sure to test them on the inside of your elbow or your wrist to make sure that you do not react badly to the combination of essential oils in your perfume. Once you have mixed your perfume that you like, enjoy wearing it out and make it your custom fragrance.
