Product
What are perfume oils?
Perfume oils are concentrated, alcohol-free fragrances designed to be applied directly to the skin. - no alcohol, just scent that moves and develops with you throughout the day.
Perfume Oils vs Perfume Sprays - what's the difference?
Sprays are alcohol-based and project outward. Oils sit closer to the skin, last longer, and are kinder to sensitive skin.
What does "designer inspired" mean?
Our perfume oils are carefully created to evoke the scent profiles of fragrances you already know and love — without the designer price tag.
How long do perfume oils last?
It varies from fragrance to fragrance, but our perfume oils are designed to last for hours. Richer, stronger scents will generally stay noticeable longer than lighter, fresher ones.
Longevity will always vary depending on the individual fragrance, your skin, environment and how much you apply.
How do i apply perfume oils?
Apply a small amount to pulse points such as wrists, neck, and behind the ears.
