Hi everyone!

I am new to the group, thanks for having me. I make homemade

cp soap, lotions, creams, bath salts, etc. I have been using

synthetic fragrance oils, but am now very interested in the use of

essential oils and making perfume and cologne.

I do have a question. When making alcohol based perfumes, can

you use hydrosols instead of distilled water? I am looking for a

way to create a perfume of some of the prohibitively expensive eos

such as rose and neroli.

Thanks in advance,

Deidre

Yes definitely. I have used the hydrodistilled hydrosols and regular steam

distilled hydrosols and found the eau de toilettes turn out beautifully.

I have not used them for eau de parfum. It should be the same thing...Just

play with the hydrosols maybe adding some water also. Experiment.
