Fragrance Extraction

We have long used the scents from nature for our pleasure. This often comes in the form of perfume. There is a long history related to how perfume originated. All of this should be understood when looking for a long lasting perfume or long lasting perfume oil.

But how do we go from plant to perfume? Well, through a manufacturing process known as extraction. As you would probably be able to guess, it’s not easy. There are a few methods used to do this. Some of which are more suitable for certain ingredients than others.

First thing’s first, gather the natural product. This is usually done by hand. Workers would normally handpicking flowers, pull up the roots or chip away at a tree. After this, they will extract the oil out. Most ancient extraction methods are still used today, but with modern technology, some have disappeared. There are now newer methods that are more efficient. This is mainly due to the large demand for long lasting perfume and long lasting perfume oil.

Why Use A Perfume Oil Instead Of A Spray?

A good long lasting perfume or long lasting perfume oil always come in a dipstick bottle. With this you can control the application of the perfume. It also ensures that no perfume or scent is lost during application.

They are great for layering, unlike perfume spray. You get more out of the perfume and all of the scent is kept. Perfume oils are stronger and focused. The question should not be ‘Why use a perfume oil’. Rather, it should be ‘why would you not use a perfume oil’.

If the long lasting scent of a perfume oil is not enough for you, there are also health benefits. Perfume oils contain little to no alcohol. This is great because some people are sensitive to certain ingredients. This makes it ideal for those with sensitive skin.

Oils are able to hydrate your skin. They are also able to improve the skin’s moisture barrier while also adding a pleasant scent. Perfume oils are also much more easier to use, especially on the go. You can keep them in your small pocket, purse or bag.

Price Range

We should carefully consider price range before purchasing any long lasting perfume or long lasting perfume oil. There are many options on the market ranging in price from low to high. If the oil is cheap then more than likely it is poor quality and will not last long. A long lasting perfume and long lasting perfume oil should always have the best quality ingredients.

There are many producers out there who prefer a quick turn over. They would rather this than serving and satisfying their customers. A company who hold their customers close to there hearts only provide the best quality products. This coupled with a reasonable price tag for the products that matches the products value.

Use Perfume On The Pulse Points

Back of the neck
Side of the neck

The Importance Of A Long Lasting Perfume And Long Lasting Perfume Oil

The longevity of an aroma is important in the same way that scent is important. Consider this: if you’re wearing a nice scent, but it doesn’t last long, is it still worthwhile to wear it? A categorical no.

When you are on the move all day you may not have time for touch-ups. So it’s a must to use a perfume that does the job, all day long!

Another point to consider is: would you really be receiving value in a perfume that only last hours? That’s another no. It is much better to receive value in a perfume that would last you the whole day if not longer.

Look For Fragrance Notes That Linger

When it comes to finding a long lasting perfume or long lasting perfume oil then look for notes that linger. If you use a perfume with notes that linger then this helps. Lingering notes are usually those strong notes such as Oud and musk.

Although concentration can play a key role in helping a fragrance last, it’s not the while story. When you ask what’s in a perfume, you will often get a list of three top notes. You will also get the three mid notes and three base notes. Top notes are most volatile and will float away first, perhaps after thirty minutes or so. Mid notes will last up to four hours, and base notes linger the longest, eight hours or more.

So which notes should you seek out in the base notes? Woody notes and musky notes, definitely. They are all made of big molecules that require a lot more energy to warm up off the skin. This is good because they last a lot longer than say citrus which is made of small molecules. Something made up of small molecules would leave the skin faster.

Many people love sandalwood notes because they last a long time. This along with iris and resins. With florals, heady, fleshy notes like jasmine and tuberose tend to have superior longevity. This is different to crisp neroli or fresh ‘green’ notes like lily of the valley. And anyone who lived through the 1970s can attest to this. Once there is a whiff of patchouli in the air, its sweetly earthy aroma is hard to shake off.
