Answer
How to Mix Ready-Made Perfume with Alcohol and Last Fix
To mix your ready-made perfume concentrate with alcohol and Last Fix, follow these steps for optimal results, especially when using Last Fix:
- Prepare the Last Fix: Last Fix needs to be heated to approximately 60°C until it becomes a clear or yellow liquid. Be careful not to overheat.
- Cool Slightly: Let the heated Last Fix cool down a bit until you notice it starting to thicken slightly.
- Combine with Alcohol and Perfume: Add your ready-made perfume concentrate to the alcohol base. Then, quickly add the slightly cooled Last Fix to this alcohol and perfume mixture.
- Blend Thoroughly: Stir or blend the mixture at a speed of around 300-500 rpm for at least 15 minutes. Ensure the Last Fix is completely dissolved in the alcohol. If you see any separation, continue blending.
Important Considerations:
- Avoid adding very hot Last Fix to the alcohol/perfume mixture, as high heat can degrade the perfume molecules and cause alcohol to evaporate quickly.
- The recommended usage rate for Last Fix in perfume formulas is typically 10-25%. You can adjust this percentage within the recommended range based on how long you want the fragrance to last.
By following these steps, you can effectively incorporate Last Fix into your perfume formulation to help extend the fragrance's longevity.
