Guest guest Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 I once bought a bottle of fragrance spray that was used to scent cards or gift wrap. I bought it from Regal and the scent that I liked best was the Vanilla. The company that made the product was called Simplicity Pattern Co. Inc. and was out of New York. I tried to do a google search and the only thing that came up was the pattern makers for sewing. I would like to buy or make some more of this spray as I really liked the smell of this one. I still have a similar one and it is Victorian Rose...but it stinks. On the bottle it says contains Ethyl Alcohol. The directions were to spray it on the card. The alcohol would then evaporate and the card would smell wonderful when it was opened (that is if you used the vanilla one and not the rose one...that would be why there's still some left of the rose one and none left of the vanilla one). Anyhow, does anyone sell this type of thing here on the list? Or does anyone have suggestions as to how one would go about making this type of thing? I don't think I'd want to use real oils for this as they'd be too expensive but fragrance oils would work, I'm sure. Looking forward to your responses.

Isn't the acoholic drink called " EVERCLEAR " grain alcohol and isn't grain alcohol the same or very close to the same as ethyl alcohol?

I do that with all my envelopes all year round. I've read that you can put some eo on the cardboard 'core' that the gift wrap is rolled around, seal it up and let it stand for a few days for the same effect, but I've not tried that one (yet!)

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Thanks Marge, Those are good ideas. Perhaps using some other oil besides vanilla would be a good idea then....but all the really good smelling ones are also the most expensive ones! But then you already know that, only too well right?

But then you already know that, only too well right? Essential oils- expensive (please tell that to the UPS driver who was just here, lol!!)... Actually, there are lot's and lot's of great smelling essential oils that are relatively inexpensive to use. I actually think essential oils are a great value as so little is required. Certainly there are many natural materials (absolutes, CO2, essential oils etc) we use in perfumery that are extremely expensive, but most essential oils are not very expensive to use when used properly (diluted correctly). Also, there are ways we can capture the scents of some materials like Vanilla (tincturing and infusing) without using an essential oil or absolute that are delicious and relatively inexpensive. You can do the same with spices and many other botanical materials. There are also inexpensive essential oils with a lovely warm scent (like Vanilla) that are fine for this kind of use (scenting paper goods) and not so expensive.
