Mixing Fragrance Blends for Perfume Formulation
Question
Can I mix different fragrance blends together to create a unique scent? I plan to use a formula with 20-30% fragrance blends, 5-10% Flora Fix, and the remainder Ethyl Alcohol. Is this formula suitable for making perfume or eau de toilette?
Answer
Yes, you can mix different fragrance blends together to create a unique scent. The formula you proposed, using a blend of fragrance oils (20-30%), Flora Fix (5-10%), and Ethyl Alcohol for the remainder, is a standard approach for creating a perfume or eau de toilette.
Mixing fragrance blends allows for creative scent combinations. However, as you mix different scents, the resulting aroma is subjective and depends entirely on the specific blends chosen and their proportions. It is highly recommended to perform small-scale tests with different ratios of your chosen fragrance blends to find the combination that you like best before making a larger batch.
Using a fixative like Flora Fix helps to improve the longevity and diffusion of the fragrance. Ethyl Alcohol acts as the solvent, diluting the fragrance concentrate to the desired strength.
In summary, mixing fragrance blends is possible and the formula structure you described is suitable for creating a perfume. The key is experimentation to achieve your desired scent profile.
