I have already written an article about the superiority of Ethanol in blending a perfume.  I stilll feel it is the answer to blending the ingredients and preserving the perfume.

Recently I blended a simple sandalwood perfume as a Base-Note oil.  I thus used Jojoba Oil as the carrier, rather than Ethanol.  My Base-Note blends are those placed on the skin prior to adding another perfume.  It is fun to blend perfumes and some would like more oil on the areas they place their Ethanol blended perfume.  This can actually make one's scent last longer on the skin.

Long story short, I enjoyed the Jojoba based Base-Note as a simple Sandalwood perfume.  I enjoyed the oil base and understand better why others do as well.  Sooo, with this in mind, I am opening my store to a choice of Jojoba Oil carrier or Ethanol dilution.  Pros & cons...  Ethanol perfume will remain fresh for years because it preserves the blend.  So I am making smaller bottles of Jojoba Oil Based for those who prefer their perfume in Jojoba oil.  I use Jojoba Oil since it is a waxy oil liken to skin sebum and the best choice for a perfume blend.  It costs more and it so worth it!!!

I have been experimenting with blending with Jojoba Oil and find that 30% dilution offers the robust  and long lasting scent I strive for in my MRF blends. 

Having fun exploring..  Donna with MRF
