Answer
Subject: Components for Diffusers and Alcohol Sprays
Here are the suitable fragrance types and other components for the products you asked about:
Room Diffuser with Reeds:
- Fragrance Type: Fragrance oils or essential oils are typically used.
- Other Components:
- Diffuser Base Liquid: This is a carrier liquid that dilutes the fragrance and helps it travel up the reeds. Common bases include dipropylene glycol (DPG), Augeo Clean Multi, or other proprietary diffuser bases.
- Reeds: Porous sticks (like rattan or fiber) that absorb the liquid and diffuse the scent into the air.
- Container: A bottle or vessel to hold the liquid and reeds.
Aroma Water Base Diffuser (for Nebulizers/Diffusers):
- Fragrance Type: Essential oils or water-soluble fragrance oils are most suitable.
- Other Components:
- Water: The main base liquid.
- Solubilizer/Dispersant (Optional): If using essential oils (which don't naturally mix well with water), a solubilizer or dispersant can help the oil mix evenly with the water.
- Diffuser Device: The electronic device that creates mist or vapor.
Fragrance for 70% Alcohol Spray:
- Fragrance Type: You should use fragrance oils or perfume oils that are specifically designed to be soluble in alcohol. Not all fragrance oils are fully soluble in high concentrations of alcohol and water mixtures like 70% alcohol. Look for fragrances suitable for "fine fragrance," "body spray," or "room spray" applications with alcohol bases.
- Other Components: The 70% alcohol solution itself (usually ethanol or isopropyl alcohol mixed with water).
