Hi. When you buy from generic perfumes, do you buy the “perfume oil” or the “fragrance/attar oil”? There are 2 sections and I don’t know which ones are used for perfume making. Thank you!
I haven't bought from Generic in a while, but I usually just buy the oils- I've never tried the attars but I'd be super interested in them I think! Thanks for watching!
@@retouchjewelery4326 perfume oils are an already finished product. You can buy them and use them on your skin immediately. They’re a combination of aromatic compounds already diluted in a carrier ready to be worn by the common consumer. They have not been manufactured with the idea of being mixed with alcohol.
i know when it comes to synthetic fragrance oil u can literally mix in over 15 - 20 ingredients in a bottle but ive noticed thats not the case with essential oils the scents get really unpleasant after just about 6 why is that?
Hey there! So I wouldn’t mix fragrance oils either. They weren’t meant to be mixed. Regarding your question about essential oils, they’re not meant to be mixed because of their organic composition. Modern perfumery is mostly artificial components that mimic smells found in nature. They’re created in laboratories specifically for use in perfumery. Essential oils can’t be expanded on in the same way aroma chemicals can.
One or the other. Not both. But you still need to check if it’s already diluted in carrier regardless. Fragrance Oils are usually uncut and are more so for candles, soap and other products. Perfume oils are already safely diluted with a carrier oil and ready to wear.
No don’t do that. Vegetable glycerine doesn’t break down in alcohol and doesn’t do anything anyway. “A drop or two” lacks practically any presence in the end result anyway. Just leave it out.
Vegetable Glycerin is literally a sugar alcohol. I have no idea what you are talking about, but VG devolves entirely in ethanol. If you are making an oil based cologne or perfume it would be a bad choice as it is insoluble in oils.
@@rabidash9309 I’m going to give you the best recipe and then a small explanation as to why a perfume oil may or may not perform. Step 1) Choose your bottle size. Step 2) 20% of that chosen size as perfume oil. The other 80% is perfumers alcohol. Step 3) spray it 3 times on yourself and let it sit for a day so everything breaks down in the alcohol as much as possible. Regarding your question about performance: the end result is only as good as the perfume oil you’re using. There’s nothing you can do to enhance the performance because you don’t know what’s in the oil. People mention Vegetable Glycerin to help it “stick” but the perfume oil is meant to do that already. Any other claims about the use for vegetable glycerin in perfume is nonsense. So make sure you purchase the highest quality perfume oil you can acquire to have the best possible end result 👍
I believe that perfumer's Alcohol is better that Everclear especially when we mix it with our oils- we want to make sure that we use the best- highest grain available and that also goes from the oils themselves.
You don’t. There’s nothing you can do to modify performance of a perfume oil because it’s already a finished product. Try to buy the best oil possible to get the best performance.
Hi! You can purchase the fragrance oil from places like: Universal Perfumes & Cosmetics or Generic Perfumes- both lovely places and they're based out of Kuwait. Another place, APO is pretty good, and they are based on the UK.
Yes, I am glad that there are places out there that sell us oils so that we can make our own concoctions,so to speak,lol! But really, thses are super ways for people to try a beautiful fragrance at a fraction of the cost and a lot of people will love that!
