What is the difference between perfume oils, perfume, eau de parfum, eau de toilette, eau de cologne, and eau fraiche?
- Oils (essential oils, fragrance oils, or perfume oils) are 100% concentrated oil and the most concentrated fragrance you can purchase. It typically will last 8 or more hours on the skin. Prices can vary greatly for numerous reasons such as the rarity of the plant, the difficulty obtaining the plant’s oils, or the amount of plant needed to produce each ounce of oil.
- Perfume (parfum) is approximately 20-30% essential and/or fragrance oil. Perfumes generally last 6-8 hours on the skin and are often more expensive than other options.
- Eau de parfum (EDP) is approximately 15-20% essential and/or fragrance oil. You can expect it to last 4-5 hours and cost less than a perfume.
- Eau de toilette (EDT) is approximately 5-15% essential and/or fragrance oil. They typically only last about 2-3 hours on the skin but are a more inexpensive option.
- Eau de cologne (EDC) is approximately 2-5% essential and/or fragrance oil. Often it will not last more than 2 hours on the skin but can also be a more inexpensive option.
- Eau fraiche (body splashes and mists) is approximately 1-3% essential and/or fragrance oil and may not even last more than an hour or two. Because of this they are often very inexpensive.
Is perfume oil better than spray perfume?
- Perfume oils are packed with benefits that not only give you a signature scent, but protect and treat your skin. Regular perfumes have high alcohol content, meaning they strip the body of moisture and cause dryness. If you have itchy skin, it’s best to avoid spray perfumes altogether, they’ll cause further skin irritation. Perfume oil does not contain any alcohol.
Does oil perfume last longer?
- Yes, perfume oils last longer on the skin. Sprays are alcohol based and dissipate into the air. Perfume oils are slow to break down and are ideal for any skin. The fragrance from perfume oils last longer on the skin than perfumes with alcohol because it is more concentrated. A little dab of perfume oil goes a long way. It can easily last over 8 hours on your skin.
Are your products vegan and cruelty-free?
- Our products do not contain any animal-derived ingredients, and also do not contain beeswax or honey. Our products are never tested on animals.
Why are your fragrances more affordable than designer brands?
- We are driven by a profound aspiration to democratize luxury fragrances and make them accessible to all. As avid fragrance enthusiasts ourselves, we couldn’t ignore the exorbitant price markups that had become synonymous with the industry. The practice of inflating prices due to celebrity endorsements or extravagant packaging seemed unjust when it came to perfumes that were far more affordable to produce.
- For those who have felt excluded by the industry’s practices, who have grown weary of fragrances being a significant financial investment, or who are simply intrigued by a novel approach to experiencing scents, we eagerly anticipate embarking on this journey with you. Together, let’s redefine the way perfumes are enjoyed and celebrate a newfound accessibility to luxurious fragrances that cater to individual tastes and desires.
