Guest guest Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Hard to explain but I get mine from Taylored Concepts in Dallas TX. From what I understand tho, there are regulations to prevent shipping of it.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 I've seen it at Snowdrift Farms. http://www.snowdriftfarm.com/form_perfumes.html Zo - windstarlove Monday, October 09, 2006 10:55 AM Perfumer's Alcohol Could anyone tell me what perfumers alcolol is, how to use it and where to find it.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Hi Lynn, I buy it from Snowdrift Farms. There is a table you can use to decide how much you will need to use. It's really simple. usually it's 80%- 20% . Have fun !! When you first mix it you have to let it sit a few days to mellow and for the fragrance oil to blossom.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Sally, Hi, Thank you, I've wanted to make perfume and have made it before, but didn't like the vodka in it, I found I liked the perfume oil better, they I remembered reading something about perfumer's alcohol and decided I wanted to try it, if I could find it and how to use it. I'll check it out on Snowdrift Farms, I just love the name anyway. Thanks again, Lynn Sally Trew <SallyTrew2 wrote: Hi Lynn, I buy it from Snowdrift Farms.

In some states, you can get it by the liter under the name Everclear, just check it's the 190, not the 150 Everclear. Many of us perfumers really prefer organic grain or grape alcohol, with no denaturants added (they can be nasty stuff).

Does it intefere with the scent of the perfume? Many like it because of the grape scent. If a perfumer wants a fruity scent, well, there is is, lol. Even the organic grain has a scent.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Thank you Joyce, There are restrictions if it is over 4 lbs. I checked Snowdrift Farms, as lots of the ladies suggested and they have the information there. Lynn wrote: Hard to explain but I get mine from Taylored Concepts in Dallas TX.
