hi Sarah! good day! i watched your video about DPG, and i have a question. i wanted to make an Oil based perfume without alcohol ( to be used with roll on type of packaging ). i asked my my supplier what carrier oil i can use to create an oil based perfume, she said DPG... just DPG. It will be used at 90% of the formula, and will be used on the skin. Thank you❤
You can use DPG, or IPM, which is less sticky. If you want to use a natural, then fractionated coconut oil is your go to base oil. The important thing is what's in the other 10%, as that determines whether or not it's safe to put on your skin.
Hello.. I am happy to be one of the followers of the channel and it is very useful, but I have a suggestion that there be an Arabic translation that appears on the video, and there are programs that allow this easily... Thank you for your effort.
Now I’m curious… I encountered a lot of water soluble food flavouranings (like almond and rum) that uses propylene glycol as a solvent for aroma chemicals. If I would use PG or DPG as a solvent, for let’s say vanillin, will it make this vanillin solution water soluble or it will just separate and fall out as a residue in water?
@@JC-yy8iv yes, you are right. I am actually worried about what madam Sara said. Using DPG as low as 1% will pose problems in overall incense stick burning. I am still trying to figure out a solution to this problem.
The GCMSs of BR540 EDP I have shows DPG at 26% (bottle from before April 2020) and just shy of 28% (bottle from before Nov 2022). Is there a more recent one with a higher percent?
Yes, organic grain ethanol is natural, and you can also use almond oil, fractionated coconut oil or jojoba oil. They are not as good as ethanol for the quality of perfume but they will work with essential oils and absolutes.
@@SarahMcCartney4160I have a question, the perfume formula that is widely used is essence, alcohol and water, some people say that by adding something around 2 to 5/6% DPG the mixture of essence with water would be better and the perfume would be better now other people say no, that it would be better to do it just with alcohol, water and essence without DPG, now I'm in doubt whether to add DPG to the formula or not
Oh hello I have an aversion to anything BR540 but I will admit… I would love a 4160Tuesdays spin on that scent profile 😅 I think it’s a fun concept. Unoriginal, but is anything original these days?
Oddly enough, while I made Mother Nature's Naughty Daughters before BR540 came out - and it is made with far more expensive materials - it does smell a little bit like it. I only found this out when I got a free sample of Baccarat Rouge in a Fragrance Foundation goodie bag in 2022. I used maltol not ethyl maltol, and cedarmoss not Veramoss, and natural rose, broom, bergamot and hazelnut extract and the like, but they have things in common. Mother Nature's Naughty Daughters doesn't fill rooms and leave a 100 metre sillage though.
@@SarahMcCartney4160 Now, it’s interesting you say that because MNND was already on my to buy list. Maybe next year - not buying any more fragrances at the moment as it’s Christmas season 😄
A shortie but a goodie!
❤ Thank you
You're welcome 😊
Thank you for these informative and entertaining videos. Keep it up! ❤
Thank you.

My question is, would that formula be safe on the skin?🙂

@@SarahMcCartney4160 thank you for answering sarah🙂 Do i need to use a preservative if i use fractionated coconut oil as my carrier oil?
@@KrymiPles There's no way to tell, if I don't have the formula for the other 10%. DPG is perfectly safe, but your fragrance might not be.
@@SarahMcCartney4160 im not yet sure the percentage is each but I'm just using it with 3 fragrance oils coconut, white musk and peach🙂
precious information here...although ipm is more expensive than dpg...
Yes it is, which is probably why DPG appears more often but I really like IPM much more for perfumery.

I tend to dilute powders in ethanol, like Ambrox, ethyl maltol etc. I would rather use DPG, do I need to do anything different?
You don't need to do anything different, but why would you prefer DPG?
Now I’m curious… I encountered a lot of water soluble food flavouranings (like almond and rum) that uses propylene glycol as a solvent for aroma chemicals.
If I would use PG or DPG as a solvent, for let’s say vanillin, will it make this vanillin solution water soluble or it will just separate and fall out as a residue in water?
I have no idea as I don't use water. Give it a try and see what happens. 😁
DPG used for internal use is food grade. Not the same used in perfumery. Solubility depends on the ratios of material, water and DPG.
Very nice topic. I want to use Methyl Laitone 10% DPG in incense blend, but I am not sure if that is a good idea. I want to use 1 % of it.
It’s true Methyl Laitone can give a nice little boost in diffusion, but only if your formula is already doing most of the work

@alokpandey9532 oh actually for sticks! I have no idea.

Nope, I just have a bad memory and don't really care much about it. 😆
Chemistry 101. The only magical ingredient is knowledge. ☺
And time.
Great vídeo ❤️❤️
Glad you're enjoying them.
Is there any natural solvent to make 100% natural perfume .?
Yes, organic grain ethanol is natural, and you can also use almond oil, fractionated coconut oil or jojoba oil. They are not as good as ethanol for the quality of perfume but they will work with essential oils and absolutes.
@@SarahMcCartney4160 thanks alot
why would you dillute the solids in dpg in those quantitiys instead of just putting them in as pulver?
Because the perfume concentrate needs to be delivered to the clients in liquid form in industrial perfumery.
make a video talking about IPM❤❤
😄It would be just the same.

SYNTHETICO!
And what are you talking about, exactly?
Is it only a solvent, or a fixative as well? I heard ipm is a solvent, but dpg is promoted a fixative as well.
You could buy some and try it.

What about acetone, i heared it intensifies smells. Is it true?
You really do not want to put acetone in perfume.
@@SarahMcCartney4160 ok
