Kelly Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Does anyone know how to make this where I can find info on how to make it? Is it dangerous? I just bought some liquid potpourri that fills my home with fragrance and I'd like to make some myself unless it would be dangerous for my customers to use this.

Brenda (OH) Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I make and sell oils (liquid potpourri) by mixing fragrance oil and dpg 50/50. They sell great! And smell great too. Straight fragrance oil can smoke and possibly be a fire hazard but blending it dpg eliminates that.HTH - Blessings ~ Brenda (OH) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 Thanks Brenda, that is what I was thinking but I had heard somewhere that DPG makes the oils less fragrant. Do you find this to be true at all?What size bottles to you sell/make? 2oz? 4oz? I think the one I bought was 6oz but that seems a bit large?Thanks again!

Brenda (OH) Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 No I have not found that the dpg reduces the scent. I have heard that some even use less dpg - such as a 70/30 mixture and even an 80/20 mixture. I have not tried those ratios since it is easier for me to do the 50/50 - LOL.I sell 1 oz bottles for $3.50. A little goes a long way.

Kelly Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 Ok I did the DPG and FO 50/50 and all I got was a smoking pot of oils. The smoke scared me so I added more DPG and it seemed to calm down the smoking.I guess I might have to look into purchasing the base but I was really hoping to make the Liquid Incense using the DPG. Any advice for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda (OH) Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Are you using an oil warmer with a tea light or an electric warmer? Just curious . . .I know a tea light is much hotter and I have experienced some smoking with a 50/50 blend but not excessive. My electric warmers don't tend to smoke just warm and scent.

Kelly Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 I am using the tea light kind, is the smoke something to worry about? It's not really "smokey" smelling. I could invest in the electric kind for personal use but I plan to sell these oils and not sure if I'd feel comfortable selling something that smokes.
