Perfumer’s alcohol, also known as perfumery alcohol, alcohol denat, or cosmetic alcohol, is a specialized type of alcohol used as the main ingredient of your favourite perfumes and colognes. This specialised alcohol, typically made from a blend of ethanol (ethyl alcohol) and other ingredients, is designed to meet the high standards of the perfumery industry. With an alcohol content usually between 70-90%, it ensures your fragrance oils blend seamlessly, resulting in a clear and stable final product.
The ethanol used in perfumer’s alcohol is often denatured, meaning it's treated with substances like methanol or isopropyl alcohol to make it unsuitable for drinking, ensuring it's safe and effective for your fragrance needs. Using perfumer’s alcohol not only helps disperse the fragrance beautifully but also preserves the integrity of the scent. Discover how Nedstar's top-quality ethanol products can elevate your perfume creations to the next level.

The high alcohol content serves multiple purposes in perfumery:
Solvent
Alcohol acts as a crucial carrier or solvent for essential oils, fragrance oils, and other ingredients. Using the right alcohol base helps dissolve and blend these aromatic compounds, ensuring they are evenly and effectively dispersed.
Volatility
The high alcohol content in perfumes promotes quick evaporation once applied to the skin. This rapid evaporation helps release the fragrance molecules into the air, creating the desired scent effect. Alcohol's quick evaporation ensures good absorption of the scent, making it a key component in products like eau de toilette and cologne.
Stability
Perfumer's alcohol helps stabilize perfume formulations by preventing microbial growth and maintaining the integrity of the fragrance oils over time. It also ensures the creation of crystal clear solutions, preserving the perfume's shelf life and keeping the scent true to its original composition.

Denatured alcohol is widely used in perfume manufacturing due to its effectiveness and safety. Formulated by adding specific chemicals, such as methanol or isopropyl alcohol, denatured alcohol is unsuitable for human consumption.
In this case, the product will be exempt from excise duty. Choose from a variety of denaturing agents that fit your regional regulations such as DEP, MEK, Bitrex, IPA or Euro Denatured.

Perfumes commonly use different types of alcohol, with ethanol (ethyl alcohol) being the most popular due to its excellent ability to dissolve fragrance oils and release top notes quickly. Denatured alcohol, which is ethanol treated with additives to make it undrinkable, is also widely used for safety and compliance reasons.
