Oil base versus Alcohol base......

[Guest guest]

While reading the article: Natural Perfumery: A Fragrant Evolution for

Aromatherapy by Anya, I just got to the part that states " alcohol allows many

ingredients to take on a much more ethereal, diffusive nature " ....This passage

intrigues me greatly as I was fully planning on only doing oil based perfumes.

so to those who have used both types of bases I ask what IS the difference? I

was going to use oil as I assumed the alcohol evaporating would make the perfume

less long lasting as an oil base. Also what are the ingredients that take on

such a magical sounding nature? )

Thank you, Becky
