For my daughter and myself, just for fragrance, NOT for selling, I just use ethyl alcohol (sometimes called pure or grain), water, and just a small amount of fragrance. It does separate so you need to shake the bottle but it is cheap and it is stuff I keep on hand. So for 2oz bottle I'd use 1.25oz of alcohol, about .3oz of fragrance and then I top off the bottle with water. If the alcohol is kept at 55% or higher I don't add a preservative and have never had any mold. Usually we use it so fast it wouldn't have a chance anyway but one we didn't like was over 8 months old in a clear bottle with no problems.
I only add other things when I don't want the ingredients to separate (when selling them).
