Solid Perfume Texture and Scent Issues

It sounds like you're having trouble with your solid perfume being too hard and the scent being too weak. This is a common issue when the ratio of wax to oil is too high, resulting in a hard texture, and the amount of fragrance oil is too low for the base.

How to Fix It

The good news is you can likely fix this by re-melting your mixture and adjusting the ratios.

1. Re-melt the Solid Perfume: Gently heat your existing solid perfume mixture until it is fully melted.
2. Adjust the Texture: To make the texture softer, you need to decrease the proportion of wax relative to the oil. You can do this by adding more Fractionated Coconut Oil (Product ID: 169) to the melted mixture. Fractionated Coconut Oil is a lightweight oil that acts as a carrier for the fragrance and helps to soften the wax base.
3. Enhance the Scent: To make the scent stronger, add more fragrance oil. The amount you can add depends on the specific fragrance oil you are using, as each has a maximum recommended usage rate. Adding more fragrance oil will help the scent diffuse better from the solid base.

Your proposed adjustment of re-melting and adding more Fractionated Coconut Oil and fragrance is the correct approach. When adding the oil, do so gradually while the mixture is melted, stirring well, and test the consistency as it cools slightly to achieve your desired texture. For the fragrance, add it after the mixture has cooled slightly but is still liquid, stirring gently to incorporate it without excessive heat, which can degrade the fragrance.

Remember that Natural White Beeswax (Product ID: 206) acts as the primary hardening agent in your formula. By increasing the amount of Fractionated Coconut Oil, you effectively reduce the concentration of beeswax, resulting in a softer product.

Always check the recommended maximum usage rate for your specific fragrance oil to ensure safety and optimal scent performance.
