Hello! Yes it can; it is practiced depending on the composition and repeated filtration. Good luck!

Hello. I would like to know if it is possible to filter the perfume several times if it presents sediments. For example, if I leave it to mature for a month, I filter it weekly.

Looks interesting, something is not right. Looking in our worksheet prepared when we formulated the recipe, there is no mention of the solution not being clear, even immediately after brewing. Our recommendation is to filter the fragrance with a paper filter (coffee filter) or other material as dense as possible, immediately after the bottle has been in the freezer for 15-20 minutes. You may be able to get an acceptable looking perfume; the odor will probably be ok. Have an easy day!

I've attached the pictures in the order you asked for them, the first one being with the solution not watered down, the last one with it out of the freezer. Thank you so much for your time

Send us 3 pictures of the perfume you made, maybe we can figure out what the problem is. One picture as it looks now, without shaking, another picture after shaking, and a third picture 20 minutes after keeping the bottle in the freezer.

I used agricultural alcohol of 96 degrees and I put a little glycerin (I had heard that it helps the persistence of the perfume)...what do you advise me to do, throw it away and make another one or add more alcohol?... Thank you very much !

Hello! There shouldn't be any oil on the surface at all, regardless of the aging period. What type of alcohol did you use?

Good evening, I decided to make this perfume as a gift for a friend, I have been maturing it for 2 weeks and every day when I shake it I notice that it still has a large amount of oil on the surface...I will need the perfume in two weeks from now...what do you advise me to do, repeat the recipe or add more alcohol ..or maybe leave it like this and flirt with it before bottling? Thank you so much for your guidance.

I have tried this recipe but after 2 months of maturation I still have a lot of oil on the bottom of the bottle that doesn't bind with the whole composition.

We recommend vetiver essential oil or labdanum absolute.

It can be done. We used the default dropper in the bottles, apart from the styrax where we used the Pasteur pipette.

Thank you. For this recipe, can the Pasteur pipette be used for dosing the drops?

Hello. The number of drops varies depending on the type and density of the essential oil, as well as the dropper orifice or pipette you are working with. In general, 20-30 pic means 1 ml.
