Answer 1

The "easiest" things are the peels of lemons, oranges, grapefruits. Citrus fruits contain so much essential oil in their rind, that you can squeeze it.

You also can use smelling flowers like violets or Lilly of the valley e.g. or some spices like vanilla or cloves.

Chose the smell you like most.

Boiling is not the best method, because volatile oils vanish with steam of water.

Its much more effective to make an extract with ethanol f. e.

You`ll get it in a pharmacy or take a neutral snaps like vodka, but take care not ta use a flavored solvent
