  • parfuming oil blend/fragrance does not dissolve

    In formulating, this is what I like, but also “don’t like”. :-)

    I am making a very simple formula for a beard oil. 
    A nice blend of plant oils such as almond oil, sunfower oil, grapeseed oil, jojoba oil, argan oil, tocopherol, and a catchy parfum and I convince my customer it is piece of cake.

    Whenever I used essential oils dissolving in the aforementioned oils never had a solubility problem. The same I thought about the fragrance we chose. An oil should be dissolved in oils. 
    To my surprise, the fragrance did not dissolve to my oil blend.

    What are your comments?

    I presume there are certain more polar fragrance blends that cannot directly dissolve to less polar oil blends?

    Are there solubilisers that you have experience with for this cases? 
    I never had to solubilise a fragrance in oil.

    Do you think I can try different fragrances in order to avoid using a solubiliser?
