Can I use denatured alcohol (ethanol 96%) to dilute my perfume?

Hi all! I'm new here but I've been making my perfume for a couple of years now, only for myself.

I'm getting a bit hung up by always having to order online and I'm almost through my cosmetic alcohol. I'm wondering, is the denatured alcohol (ethanol 96%) you can buy in drug stores (in EU-NL if that helps) usable for my personal perfume? Or is there something better I can use to dilute my perfume? I want to start using it for a room spray and I'm looking for some solutions. Thanks already for the help! :)
