You are welcome!

Wow amazing 😘😘..Thank you dear

Perfumer's alcohol is basically just high-proof isopropyl. Oddly, the higher the proof, the less it smells like alcohol. I notice it with Everclear, too. But give it a fawncy name, you can sell it for more.

Hi there, there are a lot of ways to make perfume and some people like to use high proof vodka or everclear and some people like to use isopropyl alcohol. These types of alcohol can be very expensive depending on where you live. Where I live high proof everclear and perfumer's alcohol cost the exact same per ounce. I like using perfumer's alcohol because it has no "alcohol" smell to it. 99% isopropyl alcohol has an overwhelming rubbing alcohol smell that really is not good for perfume making. Perfumer's alcohol also is denatured making it unsuitable for drinking but great for perfume making. Perfumer's alcohol contains no water so your fragrance oils will be totally solubilized creating a homogenous perfume. Using any other type of alcohol you will eventually get separation between the fragrance and the alcohol because the alcohol contains some water and oils and waters will never mix without the use of some sort of emulsifier or solubilizer.

@@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany I use 99% isopropyl, and don't get much of an alcohol smell, and my fragrance oils blend just fine with no separation. Odd. And perfumes do have an alcohol smell at first, but that dissipates quickly, as does the isopropyl. High proof vodka still has too much water in it. I've experiemented with them all, and it could just be where I live, but isopropyl is usually cheaper than perfumer's alcohol, especially once you add in shipping and handling. Not to mention isopropyl isn't drinkable, and if you ask me, neither is Everclear. I treat that stuff just as I do high proof rubbing alcohol--a poison, technically. Oh, forgot, I've also tried the extra-pricey "fragrance oil cologne dilutant"...it smells like light mineral oil---TOO much.

Thank you for the recipe ❤

Towards the end you mentioned that choosing already made fragrance combos is more suitable to mix with one another versus adding individual notes to make one combo, correct? If so, can you better explain why? I didn’t quite understand towards the end. I am trying to duplicate Love Don’t be shy by Kilian and was planning on doing it from scratch, note by note. Thank you!

Hi, I think I was just explaining that you can make perfume either way. Note, by note or you can find a fragrance that already has great top, middle, and bottom notes and just use one. Blending can be a lot of fun but also very challenging.

Love the idea of the base to soluablize. This may be a silly question, but what's the difference between a body mist vs perfume? Is it just the strength of them?

thank you! Not a silly question. Yes, perfumer's alcohol can take much more fragrance than a body mist spray. Body mist sprays can take about a 5% maximum fragrance load while a perfumer's base can take about a 30% load.

Will you please make a video on solid perfume. I made some with Beeswax and sunflower oil. I forgot the ratios.

Lol, I know right!? It sounds so funny! I was looking at the second recipe while speaking and so I kept saying the wrong percentage of fragrance. I realized this during the editing process, so I did a really cringy voice over, lol!

@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany Lol! Not cringy at all! Just a little funny and hey - it's awesome that ya bothered to fix it because some wouldn't bother! 😉

How do you make the perfume smell stronger and longer lasting. Also what fixative alternative do you recommend since aromafix is out of stock

@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany

I’m not really sure where else to get this exact fixative but here is the INCI so you can search it INCI: PPG-20 Methyl Glucose Ether. To take a strong perfume try and use fragrances that you can use up to 30% fragrance load in your base.
