Assuming you are starting with a 1 oz. bottle (25 ml), the bottle will hold 5 tsp. or 500 drops.

To make perfume you would need:
15-25% Essential oil
(That would figure out to being 75-125 drops)
4 tsp. alcohol
1/5 tsp. water (20 drops)

Eau De Perfume:
10-15% Essential oil
(That would figure out to being 50-75 drops)
3 1/2 tsp. alcohol
1 tsp. water (100 drops)

Eau De Toilette:
5-10% Essential oil
(That would figure out to being 25-50 drops)
3 1/2 tsp. alcohol
1 1/2 tsp. water (150 drops)

Eau De Cologne:
2-6% Essential oil
(That would figure out to being 10-30 drops)
3 1/2 tsp. alcohol
1 1/3 tsp. water (133 drops)

Splash Cologne:
1-3% Essential oil
(That would figure out to being 5-15 drops)
3 tsp. alcohol
2 tsp. water (150 drops)

Toilet Waters
Essential oils in lots of water (I would use some polysorbate to keep the EO and water mixed)

I hope that helps.

Alcohol is self preserving. Now if you add any water or any other water based liquid, you will need a preservative.

I'm curious if anyone has ever tried to distill their own essential oils? I was thinking about going this route to create bulk, unique oils for my company. Any ideas?? :wink:

From what I understand 20% or more of alcohol in a formula doesn't normally need a preservative. Anything less then that and you do. I tend to err on the side of caution and use a preservative anywway.
