Perfume Oil vs Spray Perfume: What’s the Difference?

Perfume oils are typically oil-based and free from alcohol. They are more concentrated and include carrier oils such as jojoba or fractionated coconut oil. Spray perfumes, on the other hand, contain alcohol as a base which helps disperse the fragrance into the air.

Longevity

Due to their high concentration and oil base, perfume oils tend to last longer on the skin. Spray perfumes may evaporate quicker, especially in dry climates.

Sillage & Projection

Spray perfumes usually offer stronger projection and leave a more noticeable trail. Perfume oils tend to stay closer to the skin, offering a more intimate scent experience.

Application & Portability

Perfume oils are applied using a rollerball or dabber, making them more precise and travel-friendly. Spray perfumes cover larger areas quickly but are often less portable.

Skin Sensitivity

Perfume oils are generally better for sensitive skin as they don’t contain drying alcohol. Spray perfumes may cause irritation or dryness for some individuals.
