Answer

Making a Body Mist

To create a body mist using fragrance oils like Simply Teenage, Playful Love, or Jasmine Vanilla, you will need to dilute the concentrated fragrance oil with a solvent, typically alcohol, and can add a fixative to help the scent last longer.

The ingredients you mentioned – fragrance oil, Flora Fix, and Ethyl Alcohol – are suitable for making a body mist.

Based on the recommended proportions, you can mix:

  • Fragrance Oil (Simply Teenage, Playful Love, or Jasmine Vanilla): 20-30%
  • Flora Fix: 5-10%
  • Ethyl Alcohol: The remaining percentage (fill up to 100%)

Mixing Instructions:

  1. Measure the desired amounts of fragrance oil and Flora Fix.
  2. Combine them in a suitable container.
  3. Add the calculated amount of Ethyl Alcohol to the mixture.
  4. Stir or gently shake the mixture until all ingredients are well combined.
  5. Allow the mixture to macerate (sit) for a period (usually a few days to a few weeks) in a cool, dark place. This helps the fragrance notes blend and develop.

These proportions are a general guideline. You can adjust the percentage of fragrance oil within the recommended range (20-30%) depending on how strong you want the scent to be. Adding Flora Fix helps improve the longevity of the fragrance on the skin.
