I understand the problem as being the separation into two phases.
That being so:
1. the perfume (aroma) level is very high. 10 - 15% is nearer the norm for what is usually called an “extrait” perfume. Perfume compounds are normally completely soluble in alcohol (ethanol) of sufficient concentration.
2. I assume the missing 6% of the formulation is water. The strength of the alcohol is not stated. I think that is is simply a case of there being an excess of water in the mix.
It is rare/unknown to use solubilisers in perfumes of this high concentration of perfume compound (aroma).
