Subject: Re: Inquiry about using fragrance oil
Hello,
Thank you for your question regarding mixing perfume using fragrance oil (Product ID 319) and alcohol (Product ID 706) from our store.
To achieve the best scent strength and longevity for a 100ml perfume, the concentration of fragrance oil is key. Perfumes are typically categorized by their fragrance oil concentration:
- Eau de Cologne (EDC): 2-4% fragrance oil
- Eau de Toilette (EDT): 5-15% fragrance oil
- Eau de Parfum (EDP): 15-20% fragrance oil
- Perfume (Extrait): 20-40% fragrance oil
For a strong and long-lasting scent, we recommend aiming for an Eau de Parfum (EDP) or Perfume (Extrait) concentration. A good starting range would be 15% to 30% fragrance oil.
For a 100ml total volume:
- Use 15ml to 30ml of fragrance oil (Product ID 319).
- Use 70ml to 85ml of alcohol (Product ID 706).
The remaining percentage is typically the alcohol base. You can adjust the percentage within this range based on your personal preference for scent intensity. Higher percentages will result in a stronger, longer-lasting fragrance.
We hope this helps you create your perfect perfume!
