Can floral scent extracts be used to make alcohol-based body perfumes?

Answer

Using Floral Extracts in Alcohol-Based Perfumes

Yes, you can use floral scent extracts, such as fragrance oils or absolutes like Jasmine Fragrance Oil, Rose Blossom, Mimosa Absolute, Frangipani Absolute, and Chrysanthemum Absolute, to create alcohol-based body perfumes.

Alcohol, specifically cosmetic-grade alcohol like Alcohol (แอลกอฮอล์), is commonly used as a base for perfumes. It acts as a solvent to dissolve the concentrated fragrance compounds and helps the scent disperse when applied to the skin.

To make an alcohol-based perfume, you typically mix the floral fragrance concentrate with the alcohol base. The ratio of fragrance to alcohol depends on the desired strength of the perfume (e.g., Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette).
