Fragrance oils are manufactured products. Some are synthetic, some contain synthetic components in a carrier (base) oil mixed with natural products.
Fragrance oils are mainly used for an application such as candles, soaps, D.I.Y projects, etc. Some Fragrance Oils can be applied to the body, however, it is not advised.
What are Perfume Oils?
Perfume Oils are made to be worn on the body. They can be all natural as in an ATTAR, or manufactured containing natural components.
There are several grades of Perfume Oils.
As per the International Fragrance Association guidelines, oils produced for the present fragrance market are:
Burning Grade - fragrance oils and should not be applied to the body. Uses are mainly candles, soaps, D.I.Y and craft projects. Standard Grade - may not be worn on the body. These are used for industrial fragrance use as they must be diluted. Premium Grade or Grade "A" Perfume Oils - are sold at The Parfumerie. These are safe to be worn on the body. Grade "A" is the highest quality Perfume oil.
What is an Attar?
An attar is a ALL NATURAL product made from ESSENTIAL OILS. It is a mixture of specific essential oils to formulate a perfume. This may seem unusual, however when the formulation is complete it is then distilled INTO a HIGH QUALITY SANDALWOOD OIL rendering the finished perfume as a 100% Natural Perfume.
At The Parfumerie we take pride in offering ATTAR'S that are of the highest quality. Made from the finest ingredients and superior Sandalwood oil.
If you are seeking a 100% natural perfume oil, this is the best there is available.
We have a Blog on ATTAR'S which has a complete explanation.
What is CPO Perfume Oil?
A CPO is a Concentrated Perfume Oil. CPO Perfume Oils can be worn on the body. It's a stronger fragrance than a Premium Grade "A" perfume oil.
At The Parfumerie many of our Imported Perfume Oils are CPO. The aroma is stronger than that of the Premium Grade "A" Perfume Oil and should last much longer when worn on the body.
Is there Any Alcohol In The Parfumerie's Perfume Oils?
NO. ALL of our Perfume Oils, Attar's and Essential Oil, are 100% FREE FROM ALCOHOL. We never use alcohol in our products.
Perfumer's Alcohol is used to make a perfume oil into a spray perfume or a cologne.
Perfume Oils cannot be sprayed without the use of Perfumer's Alcohol, they must be applied to the body with a roller or an applicator meel.
