Hi Gladys:

Grade 39C alcohol is one of the denatured alcohols recommended for perfume

making. It is odorless, and strong enough to emulsify any oils added to it

without clouding or separation. It can be used in the same quantity in

recipes that use grain alcohol.

I have used Everclear and have noticed a definite odor, even after aging the

perfumes. (let me tell you about my experiments using it to make liqueurs

sometime...yuck!) The problem lies with the fusel oils that come over

during distillation. It is what gives grain alcohol that lovely " rocket

fuel " nuance....

I run the alcohol through a paper coffee filter packed with activated

charcoal (the kind for aquarium filters), let it settle and decant off the

clear alcohol. It seems to help somewhat, but I still wouldn't use it to

make liqueur! :-Þ

Look for 39C alcohol online under chemical and perfume suppliers.

Hmm, i was told by the Australasian College (aromatherapy/herbalism school)

that only perfumers could buy this as it was regulated by the government and

you had to have a license to get it.
