Perfumer's alcohol for diluting A-1: where to buy it, and can A-1 be used straight?

[Twinturbo4486]

So I recently ordered some A-1. I read the entire A-1 Guide. It says to dilute it with Perfumer’s Alcohol from AD in a to-go bottle. I cannot find this stuff anywhere on AD. I’ve looked in Mixing Supplies, OTHER, Sprays etc. and I can’t find it.

So my quesiton is where else can I get this stuff, or am I just overlooking it on AD?

ALSO, Can I use the A-1 by itself with just a drop or two? I know it doesn’t recommend it on the guide, but is there drawbacks to using it straight and not diluting it? Judging by the tracking on my order it will be here today, and I’d like to know if I have the option to go ahead and use it without diluting or if that would be a bad idea.

Get PA in the store here, under the Mixing Supplies Tab.

Order an empty bottle and specify the dillutent/scent from the drop down menu.

Using A1 in drops is pretty much a waste of time and product.

Its a silly and difficult to control dose, does not diffuse well and is difficult to cover properly - so it can quickly stink.

Plenty of past threads discussing this and the number of guys who got anything good from this method is far outweighed by those who ran into problems.

I can’t find it either. I do remember seeing it. In any case you can buy some from here: Perfumers Alcohol by SaharasSupplies on Etsy

With A-1 I don’t premix or dilute it. Many people just use cologne to dilute it with.

Look at the 30ml bottle - dilutent/fragrance options are on that page.

Hell of a lot cheaper than your link!

Everclear works great.

Do you just put on a drop, and then spray cologne over it? or do you mix in with cologne? Was kind of confused on what ya meant by that.

Thanks!

You mix it with cologne - Full details on mixing togos or 30mls for different doses in the A1 giude.

Yes. K-Train posted that a drop is about 28 mcg’s. I use about 3 drops and cover it with cologne.

I don’t mix it right into the cologne bottle…although you can

I had the same problem as you, but then I figured it out and posted that clarification on page 13 of that thread. I said:
“*I looked at the Mixing Supplies section on AD. I couldn’t find any PA listing. Then I found that it’s an option when buying the 30mL bottle. However, I don’t see any such option for a To-Go bottle. I assume I would have to buy a 30ml **and an empty To-Go. Correct? *”

Yes, you would.
