Some will make the mix significantly thicker, while others will make it thinner. To reduce the viscosity of the blended fragranced product add more base to bring it back to the previous state.
Starting with a small amount and adding the fragrance of your choice is the best idea so you can see how the fragrance of your choice reacts. Start with 0.1-0.25% and increase carefully until you are happy with the results. Allow to stand for 24 hours before making your final decision.
