Perfumers Alcohol

This is a unique formulation of Ethanol, IPM and MPG, that can be used by both amateur and professional perfumers looking to make perfumes.

Perfumer’s alcohol allows essential oils and fragrance oils to blend seamlessly together to arrive at a crystal clear finished perfume solution, free from cloudiness.

Perfumer’s alcohol will create a clear solution with almost all fragrance oils, but those that are specifically designed for use in candle making may cause issues, so you should always check in the first instance with the fragrance oil manufacturer to ensure compatibility, i.e. that the fragrance oils are ethanol soluble.

The 3 main ingredients in our perfumers alcohol are as follows:

1. Ethanol (Denatured) -Alcohol is the main carrier for the essential and fragrance oil blend. Ethanol evaporates quickly as it is warmed by the temperature of the skin.
2. Isopropyl Myristate – IPM provides a good level of absorption.
3. Monopropylene Glycol – MPG is a co-solvent that allows the essential and fragrance oils to solubilise in alcohol and aids the evaporation process of the alcohol, reducing the ‘flash off’ time.

As a general rule, perfumes and room sprays use the following concentrations:

Parfum (15-30%); Eau de Parfum (10-15%); Eau de Toilette (4-8%); Cologne (3-5%); Eau de Cologne (1-3%), Room Sprays (1-5%)
