Ethanol 95PGF4 is a denatured ethanol that is suitable for dissolving essential oils and fragrances, use in deodorants, skin toners, strong cleansers, etc.
The 95 denotes 95% Ethanol (5% Water & Denaturant); the PG denotes Perfume Grade hence low odour that will not affect the delicate odour of essential oils, and the F4 indicates an additive that makes it unpalatable hence unusable for drinking purposes, but still acceptable for topical application.

Perfume alcohol
The difference between a perfume, cologne and splash is the ratio of water and alcohol to the fragrance. It has become virtually impossible to acquire pure grain alcohol for making perfumes. As a substitute for alcohol try to buy the strongest strength Vodka that you can find.
Do not ever substitute the alcohol with the pharmacy variety called isopropyl alcohol.
