frequently asked questions.

What is SDA 40B perfumer's alcohol used for?

SDA 40B is used as a solvent in fragrance manufacturing. It dissolves essential oils and aromatic compounds for perfumes, colognes, body sprays, and other cosmetic formulations.

Is SDA 40B the same as perfumer's alcohol?

Yes. SDA 40B (Specially Denatured Alcohol 40B) is commonly referred to as perfumer's alcohol. It is 100% natural ethanol (200 proof) with trace amounts of denaturants that make it safe for industrial and cosmetic use but not for consumption.

Do I need a permit to buy SDA 40B in bulk?

A permit is required for the 55-gallon drum size. Smaller quantities (16 oz, 1 gallon, and 5 gallons) do not require a permit.

Can I use SDA 40B as a standalone spray base?

SDA 40B is intended as an ingredient in cosmetic formulations, not as a standalone base. For a ready-to-use spray base, consider the Room Spray/Body Spray Base (Alcohol Based) which already includes moisturizing and skin-conditioning ingredients.

SDA 40B (Specially Denatured Alcohol) is a 200-proof ethanol base specifically formulated for making perfumes, body sprays, room sprays, and other fragrance products. It evaporates cleanly, carries fragrance beautifully, and is the industry standard for professional perfumers and small-batch makers. Our formula is ready to use — just add your fragrance oil at 10–20% and bottle.

Yes! SDA 40B is versatile and works for perfumes, body sprays, room sprays, linen sprays, and car fresheners. It's the same alcohol base used by professional fragrance houses. For room sprays, we recommend 10–15% fragrance oil. For perfumes and body sprays, 15–20% fragrance load delivers excellent projection and longevity.

Glow-Up Reviews from Our Candle Family

  • Crystal Dargitz Tad

    I have purchased body room spray base twice from Peach State in the last month & their shipping is Very fast! I found them bc another company wouldn't ship my product & I searched on my candle page for another company. I will Not go back to the other company. My body room spray is absolutely amazing! I LOVE how long I can smell it for, any scent I've made.

  • Trammell Aroma Apothecary

    I have ordered several fragrances and some cleaner base from Peach State after finding them on Facebook. I have to say the fragrances have been amazing and the customer service has been top-notch. There was an issue with one of my orders that was the fault of the delivery company and NOT Peach State. Peach State took care of it immediately. I've been in business for 27 years and they've gained a customer for the rest of my smelly making career.

  • Janis Collier-Miller

    Peach State is one of my new favorite suppliers! I've purchased from them a couple of times now and was surprised by the quality. But what truly won me over is their top notch customer service.
