Organic Grape Alcohol (Vitis Vinifera) and Fine Essential Oils

Why Organic Grape Alcohol (Vitis Vinifera)?

Origin: Grape alcohol is a sustainable byproduct derived from the fermentation of sugars in grapes, specifically the remnants or "recycled grapes" left after winemaking. The species "Vitis Vinifera" refers to the common grapevine, from which many of the world's wines are produced. Once the primary winemaking process is completed, the residual grapes are re-harvested and juiced. The sugars in this juice are then fermented, where yeast and/or bacteria convert them into alcohol. This alcohol is subsequently distilled to increase its purity and concentration.

Benefits over Grain and Sugar Alcohol:

• Zero Waste: Utilizing grapes left over from the wine-making process promotes a circular economy, ensuring that fewer resources go to waste.
• Hypoallergenic: Grape alcohol is typically hypoallergenic, making it less likely to cause skin irritations or allergic reactions compared to grain alcohols—a superior choice for perfumes.
• Purity: Distillation of grape alcohol often results in a very pure product, minimizing the chance of residue or impurities that might affect the perfume's scent or longevity.
• Sustainability: The reuse of grapes underscores an eco-conscious approach. If these grapes were originally organically farmed, it further means no synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or genetically modified organisms were employed, solidifying the commitment to a clean and sustainable product.
• Enhanced Scent Profile: Grape alcohol, when derived from Vitis Vinifera, offers a smooth and neutral base. This allows the fine fragrance oils to be the stars of the show, uninterrupted by the alcohol's own scent.

The incorporation of recycled grapes after winemaking not only emphasizes an environmentally responsible approach but also adds a unique narrative to the origin and purity of the alcohol used in the perfume.

In conclusion, the choice of organic grape alcohol and fine fragrance oil in perfume showcases a dedication to quality, purity, and a harmonious blend of nature and science. The use of grape alcohol, especially, stands as a testament to an elevated and thoughtful approach to crafting perfumes.
