Slowing Down Reed Diffuser Evaporation

To help slow down the evaporation rate of your reed diffuser mixture made with Reed Diffuser Base (Type 1) and Fresh Melon fragrance, you can incorporate Dipropylene glycol into your formula.

Dipropylene glycol is known to act as a fixative, which helps to slow down the evaporation of fragrances, allowing the scent to last longer.

Recommendation:

Try replacing a portion of the Reed Diffuser Base (Type 1) in your current 70% base / 30% fragrance mixture with Dipropylene glycol. You can experiment with different ratios to find the desired evaporation rate. Start by replacing a small percentage of the base with Dipropylene glycol and adjust as needed.

This approach is consistent with the information available for Dipropylene glycol, which is suitable for use in perfume bases to help prolong the scent.
