The second method is for fragrances that are thick and may not mix at all with water. They may settle to the bottom, these will not spray out easily in a water mixture. For these type of fragrances or essential oils an alcohol water mixture is necessary to dissolve the fragrance or essential oil so that it can be sprayed out. First you need to make an alcohol base. To make an alcohol base you need a relatively pure alcohol and water. You can use an 80 proof alcohol (such as everclear). Add about 2 parts of water to 8 parts of the alcohol to make an alcohol base. To make the spray perfume, add about 1 part of fragrance or essential oil to 10 parts of the alcohol base. Shake the mixture vigorously to dissolve the fragrance or essential oil into the alcohol base. Pour the alcohol base into the perfume atomizer bottle and use as a perfume spray. The second method may also be used for all types of fragrances or essential oils. The fragrance and essential oil will dissolve in the alcohol allowing the fragrance to be sprayed out. |
