Sounds like a good time to start shopping!
Alcohol replaced vegetable oils in perfumes around the 14th century. It carries the fragrance well and disappears almost instantly when applied to the skin, leaving a fresh sensation.
This alcohol is made out of sugar beets in Europe. It is denatured (made unfit for consumption) by adding a super-bitter flavouring ingredient. It is safe for the skin but you will regret it if you try to drink it!
As it’s very dangerous for health to drink alcohol in pure, high concentrations and also because its trade is highly taxed, alcohol (also called ethanol) must be denatured to be used in perfumes and cosmetics. The ethanol molecule isn’t changed but substances are added to make it undrinkable.
