Here's how to do the coconut scented oil:

1.  Buy a whole coconut, the matured ones, brown in color.

2. On Good Friday, get the coconut ready before 12 in the midday, but some prefer it on 3 pm. Cut the coconut in half and take the coconut whites. You would be needing the kayuran to finely do it.

3. Extract the coconut milk from the sap. Set aside.

4. At 12 midday or 3 pm., heat a pan and put the coconut milk in there. Stirring it once in a while.

5. Stir it occasionally. When you see brown thing, forming on top of the boiling coconut milk, get it and put it on a small bowl, it is also eaten and is sweet. Now continue on boiling the coconut milk until coconut oil forms.
