Using concretes, butters, and alternative oils in solid perfumes

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

 I was wondering if anyone has made any solid perfumes and if they've made them

using concretes, floral waxes, butters(such as cocoa), and altnernative oils

such as coconut.   I've made the traditional kind with jojoba(with the eos and

liquid absolutes, etc mixed in), and beeswax.

 About the concretes; do you add them as you would essences or as part of the

base?  Do you measure them in teaspoons or fractions of a teaspoon?(I don't have

a scale, so I would have no way of measuring by weight).  When do you add them? 

Do you mix them with the liquid oil or melt them with the beeswax or just add it

at the same time as you add the oil to the melted wax and just combine/melt?

 I was thinking of using cocoa butter because of it's scent and I was thinking

of using it instead of beeswax, because it's so hard.  And I was thinking of

using virgin coconut oil for the same reason. However, VCO is solid, but still

creamy, at cool temperatures, but liquid in warm temperatures.  I really wonder

how that would work in a solid perfume. It seems like it would be really, really

solid(if I used it with a wax or cocoa butter), when it's cool, or almost

liquidy when warm.

 I also wondered if I could use floral waxes instead of beeswax.
