2 Perfume Alcohol for Blending and French-style Perfumery Alchemical Solutions: -Cane, Grain, and Grape 190 Proof Organic Alcohol **I personally prefer using Grape alcohol, but I know many other natural perfumers prefer using Grain alcohol. Unless working with Ambergris (then Grain is probably best) the choice is really yours to make. **I do not suggest working with denatured alcohol. Chemicals are added to it to denature it, and it is quite toxic, especially if ingested. **The smallest you can order from Alchemical Solutions is by the gallon. If you d like to purchase smaller sizes, JK can get 4oz or 8oz bottles in the mail to you. Cane: 4oz $16 8oz $30 Grain: 4oz $ oz $33 Grape: 4oz $ oz $45

Make yourself some dedicated materials for your perfuming.

Concretes for making Solid Perfumes and Tincturing:

5 Tincturing and Macerating Floracopeia is a great resource for many of the raw materials, particularly the various resins. Tincturing and macerating materials are ways to produce some of your own fragranced base materials to work with. Frankincense, Benzoin, or Copal, for instance, are a great materials to pre-fix alcohol with. And the actual wood of Sandalwood is a great way to make a beautiful Sandalwood-based pre-fixed alcohol. They are all also great materials to make your own oil-macerations for use in oil-based and solid perfumes. **If you are looking for something in particular and are not finding, especially with the various woods and other raw herbs, please get in touch with JK. *Gums, resins, and woods are fantastic for making your own tinctures or macerations.
