Hey all!

I have a question, if anyone can answer?

Forgive me for asking about another website's fragrances, but it's a necessary evil so I don't spend tonage on fragrance oils, lol. But at the Save on Scents website, I've seen the reviews of their sniffies, and have ordered for the first time. In one of the reviews specifically someone recommended mixing 4:1 Dipropylene Glycol with the sniffie. I believe they were using it to make incense (I could be mistaken) but would this work to dilute and extend the amount of the highly concentrated FO? I've seen it mentioned also that DPG is a carrier for fragrance, if this is correct?

I've already ordered the DPG to mix, but I wonder if it was a good purchase, lol. So can anyone advice? Will mixing the "EXTREME CONCENTRATION" sniffie with four parts of DPG give me more regular concentrated fragrance oil to play with?

((PS, I know the exact proportion may need tinkering with, but my question, is more about if I mix DPG with concentrated fragrance oil, will it act the same as normal FO, or will it make it useless?))

No. SOS has such weird grades of fragrance oils. Fragrances for soap or B&B use should not have any DPG. For CP soap, DPG would make your soap seize. DPG is best for diffusers. I would not use it for anything else.
