Frequently Asked Questions
- Base Ingredients: Oil perfumes primarily use essential oils and carrier oils (e.g., jojoba, almond), whereas designer perfumes often contain a blend of essential oils, synthetic fragrances, and alcohol.
- Concentration: Oil perfumes are highly concentrated and typically last longer, while designer perfumes vary in concentration depending on whether they are Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette, etc.
- Longevity: Due to their high concentration and oil-based formula, oil perfumes generally last much longer on the skin compared to most designer perfumes.
- Application & Projection: Oil perfumes are usually applied with a rollerball or applicator and have a more intimate projection (closer to the skin). Designer perfumes are typically sprayed and can have a wider scent throw.
- Skin Sensitivity: Oil perfumes are often gentler on the skin (no alcohol), while designer fragrances may cause irritation for some people.
