Which ALCOHOL do PERFUMERS use?

[@chrisdieguez1950]

Side note: in the US, you can sometimes find denatured alochol that's specifically made for skin contact in pharmacies next to the isopropyl alcohol.

Hi Sam, Thank you for you video, in my location, i can not find Perfumers Alcohol SDA 40-B 190 PROOF 95%, but i found Perfumers Alcohol SDA 40-B 200 PROOF (99.8% alcohol). I would like to ask you, Can I use 200 Proof instead of 109 Proof?

What do you think about glycerin in perfume?

[@tugrola]

I wonder that too.

Hi Sam i am new to your channel and your explanation was very clear and helpful. One question what is the highest percentage of essential oils i can include in my perfume? I use Base de parfum from Aroma Zone. Thanks

Eau de parfum generally has 15-20% essential oils

What are the differences or benefits between perfumer’s alcohol and Everclear when making perfume oil dupes into sprayable format? Is there a difference in the perfume oil’s performance on the skin?

I’m new to the world of perfumery , so I was wondering if 99% ethanol 1% bitrex composition is a good to go choice ? If anybody can give me advice please some alcohols are hard to get in The Netherlands

[@xoxUnD3R0aThxox]

I asked Ensar if he uses 100% natural ingredients, he said "I prefer my botanicals natural, top-shelf artisanal, and my alcohol synthetic. " then he added "all of perfumery alcohol is synthetic, organic food grade ethanol is no good for perfumery unless you don't mind smelling like vodka and zero projection/lift off the skin....." what are your thoughts?!

[@sammacer]

Well I haven’t used it myself so I don’t have a good reference. I can’t imagine the lift off the skin is much different but I can certainly imagine there being off notes like vodka due to the different production process

[@PlantswithCoffee]

I have question, what about the Ethyl Alc with 0.5G/HLBitrex -im about to buy this for my first mixing project, any advice would be helpful and thank you in advance

[@emmanueloliphant6607]

Hi can we use Hayman premium grade ethanol 99% or something like Ar Grade or laboratory grade ethanol???

[@KevinBruce-l2c]

I came across your video recently, I am looking to get started in my own perfume making journey, I have recently applied for the certification to allow me to use TSDA, where would u recommend buying it from in the UK?

[@Ozzluis_]

In Mexico we have a denatured alcohol that is sell in pharmacys as an external use antiseptic. The formula in the back says it's 70% ethanol and 30% denatonium benzoate. Is this good for use in perfumes? I mean it's made for skin so i thinks it's safe for humans, but what about for the aroma chemicals? Do they suffer some reaction due the denatonium?

[@theheavymetalguy]

Hey i have 2 questions: 1- if 95% is the right percentage for perfumery why on the perfume boxes they say it contains 80% vol alcohol i cant get it? 2- on the ingredients list of almost every fragrance on the market they mention water in the list, does it mean they actually add water to their perfume? And how is it so common?🤔

[@tugrola]

The Ethanol degree is 96%. Its the most common one. 95-96%. When making perfume you mix the oil and 96% ethanol. Your perfume now has less % ethanol. And 80 is the optimum or recommended degree.

[@theheavymetalguy]

@@tugrola yeah it makes sense Do you happen to know anything about the use of water in perfumes??

[@tugrola]

@@theheavymetalguy Nope not really. Very confusing. Some say add water some say no need. I will add water to a soft and summertime frangrance that i am trying to make. But i will not add water to my other strong and winter time fragrance. Still have no idea what is better.

[@SanataniRishu02]

I feel like adding 1 to 2 percent of demineralized water increases top note projection using tap or ro purifier water will make your perfume blurry and it will go bad in some days so don't use it.

[@KevinBruce-l2c]

Also, do I need any specific certifications to cell my perfumes on an online store in the UK, any advice would be great thanks 0:09

I just bought some hand sanitizer grade, 190 proff, no methanol, and no fermentation smell 95% ethanol alchohol. Some reviewers say it's great for their perfumery so hopefully it goes well when I try to make molecule 02 by adding ambroxan to the alchohol.

so we can use ethanol?

[@sebleblan]

When making a scent for candles or soaps (I think) its necessary to mix in an oil solvent. Do you know what is a good option? Something like grapeseed oil? Also, if you develop a formula with materials in ethanol can you expect similar effects in oil? (i guess it must be different)

[@sammacer]

I’m not too sure since I haven’t tried, but I think people usually put the fragrance concentrate directly into the product base

Alright well see I understand what a tincture is and it's pretty much the same concept so here is my question why not just make the alcohol out of your materials? Seems pretty dumb to me. And then mix the different alcohols together with the oils or the coolant? Yes they do not mix easy unless you know how.. I learned by cooking with oils and waters and vinegars. Skins is the true crisp toppers.. like the fresh bite of apple.. but I have found just like God made them is the best.. so like the seeds are a great base.. as long as they are not toxic.. I don't really know how to get rid of the suds in like certain Tree barks.. only thing is maybe a vinegar any others you know of? Thanks bye
