Perfume oil: how to choose and use?

Perfume oil was invented for a long time. From the first days of its existence, it became an integral attribute of the toilet of kings and their closest loyal subjects. Having briefly ceded the right to superiority to spirits based on alcohol, perfume oil returned to the market, immediately taking a leading position.

The advantages and disadvantages of perfume oil can be talked about for hours. This product is appreciated for its many qualities.

1. It has an amazing, “pure” aroma. And all because there is no alcohol in perfume oil, which to a varying degree brings its own note to the perfume bouquet. It is impossible to remove it.
2. Hypoallergenic. High-quality perfume oils do not cause allergic reactions. They suit everyone. And this moment is also the merit of its non-alcoholicity.
3. It lasts longer on the skin than alcoholic perfumes. Ethyl alcohol, which is used in the production of aromatic waters, quickly evaporates from the hair and skin, clothing. This is not characteristic of the aroma of perfume oils. He is persistent, hardy, lasts at least 24 hours.
4. Does not dry skin. And this feature is again due to the complete absence of alcoholic impurities.
5. Economical. A small bottle lasts much longer than a similar volume of toilet water. Perfume oils are usually sold in containers (with a roller applicator) of 3–12 ml. To get an unobtrusive aroma, it is enough to once anoint the skin with a product. Thus, a bottle with a maximum capacity of 12 ml should be enough for 12 months of use, even if you use this tool daily. In this case, the aroma disappears only after a day, which can also be attributed to obvious pluses.

Despite a rather long list of advantages, perfume oils also have disadvantages. Among them, the following can be noted.

• Quick spoilage. Due to the fact that the oil is constantly in contact with the epithelium of a person, it can quickly become unusable, especially if its owner is not distinguished by a love of personal hygiene.
• Unpleasant sensation of oily / sticky skin.
• Visible stains on light clothing.

Over the years of long existence, perfume oil has found a lot of options for use.

1. Aromatherapy Certain oils are added to aroma lamps to achieve a positive effect of the substance on the human body (in combination with the main method of treating an ailment).
2. Perfume oils are used as the basis for air fresheners.
3. They are used in the manufacture of handmade cosmetics. For example, these components act as perfumes in shampoo, soap, home-made cream. Combining the aromas of perfume oils, you can create individual perfumes.
4. Valuable assistant in the household. If you treat the surface of a small piece of paper with a small amount of your favorite perfume oil, and hide this leaflet in a closet with clothes and bed linen, the entire contents of the cabinet will absorb aroma and will exude a pleasant fragrance. You can make scented candles, apply a small amount to a gift so that the recipient of the present always remembers the donor.
5. Oily aroma bases can be added to skincare products without a pronounced smell, during water procedures in the bath.

Modern perfume oils are used in various industries. They are used to create eau de toilette and care cosmetics, as well as self-contained perfumes. Such products have an entire army of millions of satisfied consumers who love the durability and richness of an amazing product.

Perfume oil is distinguished from perfumes by the instant disclosure of aroma. But to keep the incense as long as possible, you need to follow the simple rules for using the product.

1. Perfumed oil can only be applied on clean, washed skin. Ideally, right after the shower. Otherwise, body odors and oils will mix, and what the final result of such a union will be, no one can predict.
2. It is important to understand which areas of the body are best to apply oil perfume. Only on the skin! After all, applying such products to clothing is a big mistake. Perfume oils are applied to where you can feel the pulse: wrists, elbow and knee bends, neck. And also it is possible to smear a decollete zone with oil.

We must take into account the fact that Egyptian perfumes act differently on different types of skin. On oily skin, the aroma will be felt longer and longer, and on dry skin - less in time and not so much.

Using perfume, you can not perform the following actions:

• rub them and rub - because of such manipulations, the fragrant composition of the product is destroyed;
• apply to clothing (especially synthetic);
• Store in a refrigerator and in the light, in a humid environment (in the shower, bath);
• apply too much means - an excessive amount of oily perfume will turn a luxurious aroma into a dense, cutting-smelling train.

Choosing the right perfume oil is not as easy as it might seem at first glance. Marketers skillfully advertise different brands, pushing people to make impulsive, not always logical decisions. But every woman should be able to choose a fragrance that will suit her, her lifestyle, character.

The composition of high-quality perfume oils includes only natural ingredients. The role of the base is played by a neutral oil (usually jojoba oil), into which various aromatic oils are added, thereby creating the desired bouquet. The modern assortment of essential oils is striking in variety, but the most favorite, as at the beginning of the long way, remain such: rose and patchouli oil, lotus and sandalwood, ambergris, lavender and others.

A substance of non-plant origin in this long list is ambergris - a substance that is secreted by the gastrointestinal tract of male sperm whales. The cost of such a component is extremely high - the price per 1 kg of ambergris sometimes reaches tens of thousands of dollars. This factor is explained by the fact that ambergris is the final product obtained as a result of a long transformation of whale litter in the abyss of the ocean. This path is in the tens, hundreds of years.

Interacting with salt water and the scorching sun, ambergris changes its smell and color. It becomes not a smelly life product of an oceanic creature, but a consistency with a noble tobacco aroma and sea notes.

When buying a fragrant product, you need to know about its main suppliers. Those are Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, France. A distinctive feature of Arab spirits is their bottle. Sometimes packaging is a whole work of art.

Egyptian perfume oil is considered the highest quality. In the country of the Cheops pyramid, such perfumes can be bought right at the place of their manufacture, after casting any amount of a delicious smelling substance.
