Hey all, I picked up some concentrated perfume oil (the kind that's normally sold to other shops/blenders to make finished perfumes with, not meant to be worn directly). It's alcohol-free and quite strong.

I'm planning to dilute it with propylene glycol (USP grade) to bring it down to a wearable strength for rollerballs, since I want to avoid alcohol-based perfumes.

Has anyone here actually done this — diluting a raw/concentrated fragrance oil with PG for direct skin application? A few things I'm trying to figure out:can it be used directly on skin or too harsh?

• Does PG actually dissolve fragrance oil properly, or does it stay separated/cloudy?
• Any issues with skin irritation or sensitivity using PG this way?
• What ratio would you start with for something this concentrated (it's meant for further dilution by shops, so I'm guessing it's quite potent)?
• Is there a better diluent than PG for this purpose (DPG, IPM, etc.) that's still alcohol-free?

Would appreciate any real experience before I start mixing. Thanks!

Hi, I’m planning to study medicine in Malaysia (possibly at MAHSA University or similar private unis).
I’m trying to decide between getting a MacBook or a Windows laptop.
For those currently studying medicine:
Do you use Mac or Windows?
Any software that only works on Windows?
Did you ever regret choosing one over the other?
I mainly care about notes, lectures, and long-term usability.
Would really appreciate your advice 🙏
