Answer
How to Use "Lost in Forest" Finished Fragrance
Thank you for your question about using the "Lost in Forest" finished fragrance.
A finished fragrance like "Lost in Forest" is a concentrated scent blend and cannot be used directly on the skin or added directly to products like shower cream or body spray without dilution.
Here's how you can use it:
- For Shower Cream: You need to mix the "Lost in Forest" fragrance into a shower cream base. The typical usage rate for fragrance in shower cream is usually between 0.5% to 2% of the total formulation. You would add the fragrance to your unscented shower cream base and mix thoroughly.
- For Body Spray: To make a body spray, you need to dilute the "Lost in Forest" fragrance with a solvent, typically perfumer's alcohol (ethanol) or a dedicated body spray base. The concentration of fragrance in a body spray is usually higher than in shower cream, often ranging from 5% to 15% depending on desired strength. Mix the fragrance with the alcohol/base.
Always start with a small test batch to ensure the fragrance disperses correctly and the scent strength is as desired.
In summary, "Lost in Forest" is a concentrated ingredient that must be diluted or mixed into a suitable base product before use, whether for shower cream, body spray, or other applications.
