Answer
How to Lighten Perfume Concentrate Color
To lighten the color of a dark perfume concentrate, you need to dilute it with a suitable solvent. The intense color of perfume concentrates usually comes from natural ingredients or certain synthetic compounds used in their creation, and the color cannot typically be removed directly with a decolorizing product.
Common solvents used for diluting perfume concentrates include:
- Perfumer's Alcohol (Ethanol): This is the most frequently used solvent for making spray perfumes. Diluting the concentrate with alcohol will significantly lighten its color.
- DPG (Dipropylene Glycol): This is a popular solvent for making roll-on perfumes, reed diffusers, or other oil-based fragrance products. Diluting with DPG will also help lighten the color.
Based on the current product information available, we could not directly find listings for Perfumer's Alcohol or DPG. Therefore, we cannot confirm the availability of these specific solvents in the shop at this time.
If you wish to dilute your perfume concentrate to lighten its color, we recommend using Perfumer's Alcohol for spray perfumes or DPG for oil-based fragrance products, and checking directly with the shop regarding the availability of the required solvent.
