Unveiling The Mystery: Understanding Fragrance Diluents And Their Role

A fragrance diluent is a chemical used to stretch and double the amount of pure perfume oil while maintaining the fragrance notes. Some common fragrance diluents include Perfumer's alcohol, Dipropylene Glycol (DPG), Benzyl benzoate, and Benzyl alcohol. These diluents are used to aid the blending of hard-to-work-with materials and create a more harmonious fragrance blend.

Perfumer's alcohol is a specially denatured ethanol used to dilute Iso E Super to use as a fragrance

It is a smart alternative to coconut fractionated carrier oils or other similar carrier oils that will make your fragrance too thick in viscosity.

Dipropylene Glycol (DPG) is another diluent that can be used to stretch and/or double your pure perfume oil. It comes in a 4 Oz Dropper Glass Bottle of DPG Diluter Carrier Oil.

1,3 Propanediol is used for both flavor and fragrance to dilute materials. It is colorless and odorless and soluble in water & alcohol.

Benzyl benzoate and Benzyl alcohol are sometimes used in fragrance compounds to aid the blending of hard-to-work-with materials.

Dipropylene Glycol (DPG) is a petrochemical diluent used to stretch or double perfume oils

DPG is petrochemical derived and therefore not suitable for natural perfumery. It is colourless and odourless. It is soluble in water & alcohol. It acts as a multipurpose ingredient: emollient, humectant, booster, solvent, viscosity enhancer and carrier.

To stretch/dilute your parfum oils, simply mix one part fragrance oils to one part of DPG (1:1 ratio). You'll get double the amount of parfum oil while holding all the fragrances notes in harmony.

DPG is for external use only. Keep out of reach of children.

1,3 Propanediol is a colorless and odorless diluent used for fragrance and flavor

1,3 Propanediol is a colourless and odourless diluent used for fragrance and flavour. It is soluble in water and alcohol and acts as a multipurpose ingredient, being an emollient, humectant, booster, solvent, viscosity enhancer and carrier.

It is used to dilute materials and can be used for both fragrance and flavour.

It is not suitable for natural perfumery as it is petrochemical derived.

It is a smart alternative to coconut fractionated carrier oils or other similar carrier oils that will make your fragrance too thick in viscosity.

It is used to stretch and/or double pure perfume oil. To stretch/dilute your parfum oils, simply mix one part fragrance oils to one part of 1,3 Propanediol (1:1 ratio).

Benzyl benzoate and Benzyl alcohol are aromachemicals used to blend fragrance compounds

Benzyl benzoate and Benzyl alcohol are aromachemicals that are used to blend fragrance compounds. They are used to aid the blending of hard-to-work-with materials.

Benzyl benzoate and Benzyl alcohol are sometimes used in fragrance compounds to aid the blending of hard-to-work-with materials. They are aromachemicals, which restricts their use for the natural perfumer.

Benzyl benzoate and Benzyl alcohol are used to blend fragrance compounds because they are aromachemicals. This means that they are not suitable for natural perfumery.

Benzyl benzoate and Benzyl alcohol are used to blend fragrance compounds because they are aromachemicals. This means that they are not suitable for natural perfumery.

Benzyl benzoate and Benzyl alcohol are used to blend fragrance compounds because they are aromachemicals. This means that they are not suitable for natural perfumery.

Carrier oils are used to stretch and dilute fragrance oils

DPG is petrochemical derived and therefore not really suitable for natural perfumery. Benzyl benzoate and Benzyl alcohol are sometimes used in fragrance compounds to aid the blending of hard-to-work-with materials, again they are aromachemicals which restricts their use for the natural perfumer.

1,3 Propanediol is used for both flavor and fragrance to dilute materials. It is colorless and odorless. It is soluble in water & alcohol. It acts as a multipurpose ingredient: emollient, humectant, booster, solvent, viscosity enhancer and carrier.

Perfumer's alcohol (specially denatured ethanol 40b) would be the way to go if you want to dilute Iso E Super to use as a fragrance.
