    You could try diluting it with pure alcohol ie vodka if you have any lying about? I add a tsp or so when the kids are making "perfume" out of flowers etc to keep from bacteria growing. Not sure if you would smell alcoholic or not though!

    Seconded. Ethanol. Good quality vodka would work.

    Like you'd drink anything else. :D

    Be warned though, that diluting the perfume will affect scent and 'sticking power'.
    :huh: Don't know what I'm doing, but doing it anyway... :huh:

    It is funny that you posted this because two weeks ago I have watered down two of my Givaudan perfumes(D&G the one and Cavalli pefume). I have looked everywhere for an answer to th e same question as yours.
    So, I just got ahead and experiment.
    I have watered them as I find these perfumes too strong. I have not noticed any parting in the liquid, it is only slightly "clearer" than before.
