Modify ethanol into high-quality perfumer's alcohol

Modify ethanol into high-quality perfumer's alcohol

Can I upgrade 96% or 99% ethanol into a premium, commercial-grade perfume solvent.
What specific functional additives or chemical modifiers (like co-solvents, fixatives, or antioxidants) can I add directly to the alcohol base to reduce the initial sting and improve overall performance?
Looking for proven materials and their exact percentages. Thanks!

pre-blended fragrance oils

When using pre-blended fragrance oils from companies like Givaudan and Luzi, is it possible to introduce additional aroma chemicals—such as Ambroxan, Iso E Super, and Hedione—to boost performance (longevity and projection)? More broadly, how can the performance of ready-made fragrance oils from these manufacturers be enhanced, and what specific compounds can be added?"

I’m currently reviewing this specific formula for a Modified Perfumer's Alcohol. It utilizes a 96% Ethanol base enhanced with DPG, IPM, and molecular fixatives like Iso E Super, Hedione, and Ambroxan to balance vapor pressure and skin absorption.
Does this ratio provide the necessary stability and "lift" for high-end niche fragrances? Would love to hear your technical thoughts!
