Reducing Viscosity in Arabic Perfume

Your Arabic perfume's caramel-like thickness is likely caused by a high concentration of natural ingredients such as resins, balsams, or absolutes, which are inherently viscous.

To decrease the viscosity and improve usability, you can incorporate a fragrance solvent or diluent. Commonly used solvents in perfumery for thinning thick fragrance materials include:

• Dipropylene Glycol (DPG)
• Diethyl Phthalate (DEP)

These solvents help to dissolve the concentrated aromatic compounds and reduce the overall thickness of the perfume.

Important Considerations:

• Adding a diluent will also decrease the overall fragrance strength.
• Add the solvent gradually, mixing thoroughly, until you reach your desired consistency. Start with a small amount and add more incrementally.

By carefully adding a suitable diluent like DPG or DEP, you can achieve a less viscous texture while still preserving the perfume's aromatic profile, albeit at a slightly lower concentration.
