Liquid Car Air Freshener Formulation with Musk and Flora Fix
Question
I would like to know if Musk can be used together with Flora Fix. I am planning to make a liquid car air freshener using Flora Fix and Fragrance Oil, with Fractionated Coconut Oil as the base (instead of alcohol). I have some leftover Musk at home and would like to include it. Can I do this? Also, if I want to make a liquid car air freshener, what should I mix and in what quantities? Please advise. Thank you.
Answer
Liquid Car Air Freshener Formulation
Yes, you can generally use Musk and Flora Fix together in a fragrance formulation. Flora Fix is designed to help fragrances last longer, and musk is a common fragrance ingredient that also often contributes to the longevity of a scent.
To make a liquid car air freshener using fragrance oil and Fractionated Coconut Oil as the base (instead of alcohol), here is a suggested formulation:
- Fractionated Coconut Oil: This acts as your carrier oil. It is odorless, colorless, and suitable for blending with fragrance oils.
- Fragrance Oil: This provides the main scent for your air freshener.
- Flora Fix: This helps to extend the lifespan of the fragrance, making the scent last longer in your car.
- Musk: You can add your leftover Musk product to enhance the base notes of the fragrance and potentially further improve longevity. The amount will depend on the specific type and strength of your Musk product and your desired scent profile.
Here is a sample starting formulation. You can adjust the percentages based on how strong you want the scent and the specific products you are using:
- Fractionated Coconut Oil: 60-80%
- Fragrance Oil: 10-20%
- Flora Fix: 5-10%
- Musk: 1-5%
Instructions:
- Measure out all your ingredients according to your desired percentages.
- Combine the Fragrance Oil, Flora Fix, and Musk first. Stir well to ensure they are fully mixed.
- Add the Fractionated Coconut Oil to the mixture.
- Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is clear (if the Musk is soluble).
- Pour the mixture into your car air freshener diffuser bottle.
Remember to test a small amount first and adjust the fragrance oil and musk percentages until you achieve your desired scent strength and profile. Ensure the specific Musk product you have is suitable for use in oil-based fragrance applications.
