Perfumer’s Alcohol is a ready-to-use, denatured ethanol-based carrier designed for creating perfumes, colognes and other fragrance products.

It helps compatible essential oils, aroma chemicals and fragrance oils combine into a clear, uniform solution.

This formulated base contains denatured ethanol, isopropyl myristate and propylene glycol. These ingredients support fragrance dispersion, application and controlled evaporation within a properly developed formulation.

It is suitable for experienced hobbyists and professional perfume formulators.

No. This product is a raw material for perfume formulation and should not be applied directly to the skin as supplied.

Before use on the skin, it must be incorporated into an appropriately formulated and safety-assessed finished cosmetic product.

Perfumer’s Alcohol can be used with many ethanol-soluble aroma chemicals, including materials supplied as liquids, powders or crystals. However, solubility varies according to the individual material, its concentration and any carrier or solvent already present.

Some crystalline, resinous or high-molecular-weight aroma chemicals may require preparation or dilution in a suitable solvent before being incorporated into the finished formulation.

Always check the product specification, recommended solvent and applicable usage limits for each aroma chemical. Do not assume that every material will dissolve completely at every concentration.

Perfumer’s Alcohol can be used with many essential oils, but solubility and safe usage limits vary.

Confirm that each oil is ethanol-soluble and suitable for its intended application before use.

Natural does not automatically mean safe for unrestricted skin application. Always follow the applicable usage limits and safety information for each material.

Perfumer’s Alcohol is compatible with many ethanol-soluble fragrance oils.

Oils developed specifically for candles, wax melts or oil-based home-fragrance products may not be suitable for alcohol-based perfume and can cause cloudiness, separation or sediment.

Check with the fragrance manufacturer if the intended applications or ethanol solubility of a fragrance oil are unclear.

Perfumer’s Alcohol may be used as a component in an appropriately developed room-spray formulation.

The finished product must be suitably formulated, assessed, classified, packaged and labelled for its intended use and the market in which it will be supplied.

Cloudiness usually indicates that one or more ingredients are not fully soluble in the alcohol base.

Candle fragrance oils, waxy materials, certain natural extracts, incompatible carrier oils and materials containing excess water can cause cloudiness or separation.

Allowing the formulation to settle before filtering may help remove insoluble material, but filtering will not make an incompatible ingredient fully soluble.

Keep the container tightly closed and store it upright in a cool, well-ventilated location away from direct sunlight, heat, sparks and open flames.

Keep out of reach of children.

Perfumer’s Alcohol is a formulated perfume-making base containing denatured ethanol, isopropyl myristate and propylene glycol. It is not pure ethanol and is not equivalent to purchasing TSDA 1 on its own.

The additional ingredients may affect evaporation, diffusion, spray character and skin feel. This makes the product particularly convenient for small-batch perfume making, although it may perform differently from high-purity perfumery ethanol in some formulations.

In the UK, purchasing and using controlled products such as TSDA 1 normally requires the appropriate HMRC authorisation. Other forms of high-strength ethanol may be subject to different excise, licensing or supplier restrictions.

The finished Perfumer’s Alcohol formulation sold here is not the same as purchasing TSDA 1 on its own. Purchasers seeking other forms of high-strength ethanol are responsible for confirming and obtaining any authorisation or licence required for the product they intend to purchase and use.

Due to the specialist packaging, handling and courier requirements associated with highly flammable liquids, purchases are limited to a maximum of one 1-litre bottle per order.

Delivery is currently available to mainland Great Britain only.

We cannot ship this product to Northern Ireland, the EU or other international destinations. Orders placed for restricted destinations will be cancelled and refunded.

This product is intended for perfume formulation only. It is not a finished cosmetic, must not be ingested and should not be applied directly to the skin as supplied.

Perfumer’s Alcohol is highly flammable. Work in a well-ventilated location and keep it away from heat, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources.

Wear the appropriate protective equipment and read the product label and Safety Data Sheet before opening, handling or using the product.
