Why Pure Fragrance Oils and Sprays Wear Differently
Our highly concentrated perfume oils bloom with your natural body heat and linger throughout the day.
At Secret of Essence™, fragrance is designed to become part of you. Our pure perfume oils are alcohol-free. As they meet your natural body heat, the fragrance gently warms, blooms, rises and lingers throughout the day.
Our highly concentrated perfume oil sprays offer another way to experience fragrance, combining approximately 80–85% perfume oil with 15–20% alcohol for a beautifully rich spray application.
Traditional Eau de Parfum sprays generally contain approximately 15–20% fragrance concentrate, with alcohol making up much of the remaining formula. Their scent often projects more noticeably at first, while perfume oils tend to evaporate more gradually and remain closer to the skin.
Oil baseSlower evaporation
Stays close to skin and helps scent last longer than an alcohol-first spray.
