My perfumes are greasy
I have started about 2 months ago, after an obscene obsession over controlling what ingredients are used in my perfumes, but there is this weird feeling when I apply my perfumes on my skin, it leaves my skin greasy but not slippery. Surfaces and some clothes over time develop a grease layer which is both disgusting and unattractive.
Currently when I make my perfumes, the ratios are usually:
Essential Oil: 30% ~ 40%
Iso E Super: ~ 2.5%
Hedione: ~ 2.0%
Alcohol 96%: The rest of the way.
