Cyclomethicone

Cyclomethicone is an alcohol-free, clear, colorless, odorless, silicone liquid used as a carrying and wetting agent for personal care products. It can be used as-is as a body spray or used as a replacement for petroleum based solvents because it will not contribute to the ozone-depletion and global warming. Cyclomethicone is basically a cosmetic solvent that is soluble with the vast majority of oil-soluble products. It is possible that some fragrances are immiscible & individual testing for compatibility is always recommended.
