Answer
Using Iso E Super in Perfume
To make perfume using Iso E Super, you will need a suitable solvent and determine the desired concentration.
Solvent
The most common solvent for making alcohol-based perfumes is Ethanol, specifically denatured alcohol designed for perfumery. This helps the fragrance disperse and evaporate properly on the skin.
Concentration
The concentration of fragrance in a perfume depends on the desired strength (e.g., Eau de Toilette, Eau de Parfum). For Eau de Parfum, the total fragrance concentrate is typically around 15-20% mixed with alcohol.
When using Iso E Super, Anthamber (or similar Iso E Super variants), it can be used as a significant component of your fragrance blend, or even as a standalone note. A simple starting point for a perfume focusing on Iso E Super could be diluting 10-20% of Iso E Super in perfumer's alcohol. You can adjust this concentration based on the desired intensity and how you are blending it with other fragrance materials. Iso E Super is often used at much higher percentages (sometimes 20-50% or more) within a complex fragrance concentrate formula.
