Re: vodka substitute for perfume recipe

[Guest guest]

Since Vodka or Grain alcohol are the natural alternative to perfumer's

alcohol, why don't you just use perfumer's alcohol?

Personally I'd rather have vodka on my skin than the denaturing agents. But

that's JMHO

It is my understanding that if the product is for personal use, it is

OK to use vodka. But if you are going to sell the product, you cannot

legally use vodka. Only someone that has a licence to sell alcohol can

legally sell it. Sounds like a really stupid restriction to me since

there is such a small percentage of alcohol!!!and who wants to drink

perfume anyway, yuck!!! But that is my understanding...please correct

me if I am wrong...Donna

You can use Isopropyl, but you'll have a lot of smell to overcome. (That's

the denaturing agents that give it the smell) I personally wouldn't use it

for perfume.

Are you making a perfume, or a perfumed oil? If it's an alcohol based

perfume I don't see where the fixed oils come in.

That's not true.

You can use grain alcohol or vodka in your products as long as

1) you pay the tax when you purchase it

AND

2) your products are not drinkable.

You only need a license if

1) you are not paying tax on the alcohol, are buying more than 5 gallons,

and are denaturing it yourself

OR

2) you are selling potable (drinkable) alcohol.

Call the ATF and your local alcohol board for confirmation.
