What are Perfume Oils?

Perfume oils are typically an all-natural type perfume. They are alcohol free and contain an absolute minimum amount of synthetic fragrances. The oils are extracted from raw, fragrant materials, which are the same materials used in alcohol-based perfumes. However, because of its oil base and how it is applied, you will find that scent will react differently. Perfume oils tend to be less overpowering, longer lasting, and more gentle to sensitive skin. However, be careful when applying your perfume oil because it can stain your clothing.

What is the proper way to wear perfume oils?

Perfume oils react to your body heat and should be applied directly on the skin. The pulse points are prime real estate for dabbing so be sure to apply it on your wrists and neck. Other locations such as the crook of your elbow & knees, the cleavage, or behind the ears are also great. The longer the oil sits on the skin mixing with your natural body oils the better so make it a part of your after shower routine. Also, a little goes a long way!

Oud also know as Agarwood, Aloeswood, Eagleswood, or Gharuwood is a fragrant dark resinous wood, used in incense, perfume, and small carvings. It has a rich and complex, sweet, warm, deep, precious woody aroma, shades of smoky, amber-y incense and honeyed tobacco and animalic notes of musk/castoreum. The wood chips can be burned as an incense. The oil is most often used as a base note of perfume.

Attar is the Arabic word for natural perfume oil derived from botanical sources such as flowers, herbs, spices, and barks. A little dab goes long way and body heat intensifies the scent.

Mukhallat is the Arabic for mix. Mukhallats Arabian oils are a mixture of non-alcoholic essential oils and aroma ingredients. The basic ingredients are the same however each mix has a unique fragrance.
