babyrn Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Does anyone have a recipe for body spray or perfume using Everclear/Vodka? I remember seeing one on the old board. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dzeyez Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 I don't remember the amounts but it's Everclear, distilled water, FO & color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindylou Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 I have one somewhere in my files. I will try to remember to look when I get home today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarieJeanette Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Here is what I usually do (and I make these a lot). I mix 25% fragrance oil to 75% Everclear in an amber glass spray bottle and that's it. No water, no colorant. Turns out great every time. Hope that helps.

MichelleOH Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 20 oz Distilled water1 1/2 oz. 100 proof vodka or grain alcohol¼ oz of FO.Mix the FO oil into the Vodka. Add ~slowly~ the distilled water to the Vodka stirring constantly…Fill a spray bottle. I just found this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetcheeks Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Can you use the Vodka or Everclear when you are selling these? I would think you couldnt sell them this way with the alcohol in them. Maybe im wrong in this??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EMercier Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Does this really work? Has any one tested and sold this? I've been looking for a way to make body and linen spray at a decent price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbiepql Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 For linen spray I use 1 part distilled water to 2 parts witch hazel. Add to that a mix of emulsified FO with polysorbate. Works very nicely - clear, drys really quickly and the scent lasts longer than other bases I have tried costing alot more.Too many regs about using everclear or "booze" in products, plus I never got around the smell. I am thinking every state is different on what you can and can't do with alchohol, check with your local ABC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyrn Posted July 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 The Everclear/Vodka that I bought has absolutely no smell to it. As of right now, I'm not wanting to sell the spray, just using it for myself and freely giving it away to family and friends. So far it has worked fabulously!!!!!!!! The scent is not as long lasting as I would like, but it lasts much longer than just fo and cyclomethicone. May try mixing a small amount of a carrier oil in it. Let ya know how that works.
