Answer
Recommended Solvents for Fragrance Ingredients
To dissolve the fragrance ingredients you have, including Musk Ketone, Coumarin, Musk Ambrette, Camphor, Patchouli Hexanol, and Raspberry Ketone, you will generally need organic solvents commonly used in perfumery.
Commonly used solvents include:
- Ethanol (Alcohol): A very common solvent for many fragrance compounds.
- Dipropylene Glycol (DPG): Another widely used solvent, often preferred for its low odor and ability to dissolve a wide range of fragrance materials.
- Isopropyl Myristate (IPM): An ester that can act as a solvent and also provides emollient properties, suitable for skin applications.
The best solvent or combination of solvents will depend on the specific solubility of each ingredient and the intended final application (e.g., perfume, diffuser oil, cosmetic product). For most fragrance applications, Ethanol or DPG are good starting points.
It is recommended to test the solubility of each ingredient in the chosen solvent at the desired concentration.
