  Normally the supplier of the alcohol has grades specifically designed for use with or in fragrances.

  Haute couture fragrances frequently use double distilled, charcoal treated grape spirit - although I may be a little out of date with that now.

  @Johnb: Interesting. In Saudi I made a 4 foot long charcoal column to filter my ‘saidiki’ and make vodka.

  Belassi - just the same with the company I worked for. A Saudi client insisted on having his perfumes made with the finest spirit and then charcoal treating them to remove the fragrance oil.
