Fragrance oil is a natural type of perfume, and these fragrances are based on oils extracted from flowers, forest plants, or spices. Unlike perfumes, pure fragrance oils do not contain harmful toxins (phthalates and parabens) and alcohol, substances that cause perfumes to dry and dissipate faster.
The use of concentrated oils to produce fragrances has been used in Egypt since ancient times. Some of the world's ancient scents date back to the time of the pharaohs, which offered large quantities of perfume to temples as an expression of devotion. The Egyptians associated scents with their gods and believed perfume positively affected their happiness and health. Eventually, the Egyptians began using oils as perfumes in everyday clothing, believing that having perfume oil in their homes would guarantee their safety. Fragrance oils are a widespread choice for two reasons:
First, fragrance oils contain a high concentration of fragrance, which means a long-lasting scent.
Secondly, they are alcohol-free, and particularly suitable for sensitive skin types.
Fragrance oils: Benefits
Fragrance oils are an excellent alternative for those with sensitive skin. Most fragrances on the market contain alcohol and other chemicals that can irritate or dry the skin. Oils, on the other hand, naturally moisturize the skin, helping to reduce irritation for those with dry skin.
Fragrance oils are easily absorbed into the skin, so they last longer than conventional perfumes. You also don't lose as much perfume when applying it as when spraying conventional perfume into the air. It's worth noting that these bottles are perfect for traveling, as they are leak-proof and easy to fit in your handbag or pocket.
In fragrance oils, the main notes of the fragrance, which last the longest, emerge very quickly. So when you try a fragrance oil in a perfume shop, you'll immediately know the real scent. Fragrance oils evoke a sense of individuality, creating an expressively mysterious touch. After all, the scent is a powerful accessory that does not go unnoticed.
Fragrance oils – easy to use?
Because they do not contain alcohol, fragrance oils are much stronger than Eau de Parfum or Eau de Toilette, which means they must be used in moderation. Just a few drops of concentrated oil are enough to bring out the distinctive aroma. It is essential to apply the fragrance oil without rubbing, and rubbing it into the skin breaks up the top notes. Fragrance oils are often intensified when your skin and movements warm them. So it's best to apply them to the pulsating areas of the body – the wrists, the neck, and the skin behind the ears. This way, they gently adhere to the body and are easily absorbed into the skin.
