tarynjms Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Can anyone shed some light as to how to choose which one of these will hold scent better, not keep an overwhelmingly strong smell of alcohol that overpowers the fo? Do any of you love any of these & do you use a 20% FO load? I see SO MANY people stating that they use 50% FO load. I think that is too much. I guess I will test & sample each of these & see what I think, as with everything else: test, test, test. I was just hoping that I could get some opinions. Thank you.

katshe Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Snowdrift farms has a formulary section and I believe %'s as far as making cologne and perfume...I have their perfumers alcohol, made a cologne and can still smell the alcohol.Not sure if this is too helpfulSDF also has a chemist you can ask questions.

scentsme Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I'm curious about this, as I've never made perfumes before. What would be the benefit of using the Snowdrift, over the one at Synergy? Synergy is SDA40B alcohol & water, Snowdrift is SDA40B alcohol and isopropyl myristate, isopropyl alcohol. What is the benefit of having the extra ingredients that are in Snowdrifts?

Ky's base is not perfume base, it is a body splash base, two different things. The one from Snowdrift is going to make your best product. Not sure why Synergy Scents has 10% water, it's not needed and will certainly lower the ability to saturate the base with fragrances. The scents will completely blend into the Snowdrift version thus that is what I would go for. Any time water is added you may find separation.
