Answer
Using Ethyl Vanillin in Perfume
Yes, Ethyl Vanillin can be mixed with alcohol to create a vanilla-scented perfume.
As suggested in the previous reply, it is beneficial to dissolve Ethyl Vanillin in Dipropylene glycol first before mixing it with alcohol. This method offers several advantages:
- Improved Solubility: Helps Ethyl Vanillin dissolve more effectively.
- Fixative: Dipropylene glycol acts as a fixative, helping the fragrance last longer by slowing down the evaporation rate.
- Reduced Harshness: Can help reduce the initial harshness of the alcohol.
Dipropylene glycol is a suitable base for perfumes and can dissolve both essential oils and chemical fragrances well.
