This is the first perfumer's alcohol / perfume base I ever bought or used so I have nothing to compare it to. In terms of function, it dissolves the raw materials I work with well and does it job. Nothing to complain about there. The buying, shipping/delivery process went well too. No hassles. I'm going to buy a larger volume of this alcohol or even the 1020 quality. If you want to start using perfumer's alcohol in your creations, I recommend this one.
