Fórmula
C1V1 = C2V2 → Fragrance Oil = (C2 × V2) / C1. Carrier = V2 − Fragrance Oil.
Perguntas Frequentes
What is C1V1=C2V2?
This is the dilution formula from chemistry: initial concentration times initial volume equals final concentration times final volume. It lets you calculate how much stock solution to use to achieve a target concentration.
Can I dilute a perfume that is already weaker?
No — you can only dilute to a lower concentration. If your desired concentration is higher than the current one, you would need to add more fragrance oil, which is a different calculation.
What carrier is best for dilution?
For alcohol-based perfumes, use perfumer's alcohol. For oil-based fragrances, use a neutral carrier oil like fractionated coconut oil or jojoba.
