Perfumer's Alcohol

Perfumer's Alcohol is a specific mixture used in the making of sprayable perfumes.

Formulations can change, but the 3 most common ingredients are:


 * 1) Denatured Ethanol – the main carrier for the fragrance oils. This evaporates quickly as it is warmed by skin temperature releasing the fragrances evenly over the surface.
 * 2) Isopropyl myristate – used in preparations where good absorption is desired.
 * 3) Monopropylene glycol – a cosolvent which allows the fragrance oils to be solubilised in the alcohol carrier. This helps to control the evaporation of the alcohol so that it does not flash off too quickly.
