Can I use denatured alcohol to dilute perfume?
I've been making perfume for myself for a couple of years now. I'm getting a little tired of constantly ordering online, and my cosmetic alcohol is almost out.
I wonder if I can use denatured alcohol (96% ethanol), which you can buy at pharmacies, for my perfume? Or is there something more suitable for diluting perfume?

Curious ethanol, such as ethanol denatured is best for perfume. It's quite pure and neutral, perfectly dissolving essential oils and aromatic essays without affecting fragrant longevity. Of course, it's a good idea to let the perfume sit for a few weeks after the mixture. This allows alcohol to settle, and the fragrance becomes soft and more harmonious. So, yes, detected ethanol can be used, but be sure to choose a good quality product and test its aroma before making a large batch.
