Perfumer’s alcohol, also known as perfumery alcohol, alcohol denat or cosmetic alcohol, refers to a specialized type of alcohol used as the main ingredient in perfumes, colognes, and other fragranced products. It is a specific blend of ethanol and other ingredients designed to meet the requirements of the perfumery industry. The perfume alcohol content can vary, but it is typically around 70-90%.
Perfume alcohol typically consists of ethanol (ethyl alcohol) as the primary base. The specific ethanol used in perfumer's alcohol is often denatured, meaning it has been treated to make it unsuitable for consumption by adding certain substances such as methanol, isopropyl alcohol, or various bittering agents.
