DPG

Used in 2 formulas

About this material

DPG, or dipropylene glycol, has a faintly sweet, slightly oily scent that is often undetectable in finished fragrances. It serves primarily as a solvent and carrier, helping to dissolve other fragrance materials and ensuring an even distribution in the formula. While it doesn't contribute much to the scent profile itself, it enhances the longevity and stability of the fragrance. DPG works well with a wide range of materials, particularly heavier oils and resins, making it a versatile choice for various compositions. In this catalogue, it is typically used at doses ranging from 1.400% to 4.60%, with a common concentration around 3.000%.
