Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

SDA stands for "Specially Denatured Alcohol," and 40B is a specific government-approved formula for denaturing ethanol. It means the alcohol has been rendered undrinkable by adding tiny amounts of denaturants (like tert-Butyl alcohol and Bitrex), making it legal for cosmetic and industrial use without the high taxes associated with beverage alcohol.

Vodka contains too much water, which can cause fragrance oils to separate, and often has its own odor. Industrial ethanol may contain impurities or different denaturants that can alter the scent of your perfume. Perfumer's Alcohol SDA 40B is specifically designed to be pure, clear, and odorless to act as a perfect carrier for fragrance.

The ratio depends on the desired strength. For a strong perfume (Eau de Parfum), you might use 15-20% fragrance oil to 80-85% alcohol. For a lighter Eau de Toilette, it's typically 5-15% fragrance oil. For body sprays, it can be as low as 2-4%.

Yes, for best results. After mixing your fragrance oils with the Perfumer's Alcohol, it's recommended to let the mixture "mature" or "macerate" for several weeks in a cool, dark place. This allows the fragrance notes to fully blend and meld with the alcohol, resulting in a smoother, more complex final scent.

Our Perfumer's Alcohol SDA 40B is a 200-proof product, meaning it is virtually pure ethanol (99.9%+). It is ready to be used as the primary base for your fragrance creations. You will add your fragrance oils and potentially a small amount of distilled water to it to achieve your desired final concentration.
