About Our Perfume Oils

What makes Oli Collective perfume oils different from traditional perfumes?

These are made from concentrated fragrance oils mixed with a carrier oil (such as jojoba, fractionated coconut oil, or sweet almond oil). They do not contain alcohol, which is a common ingredient in traditional perfumes.

 

Due to their higher concentration of fragrance oils and lack of alcohol, perfume oils tend to last much longer on the skin—sometimes up to 6–12 hours or more. Alcohol-based perfumes tend to evaporate more quickly, which means their scent fades faster.

 

Because they don’t contain alcohol, perfume oils are often gentler on the skin. Alcohol can sometimes cause dryness or irritation, especially for those with sensitive skin. Oil-based fragrances are also less likely to cause allergic reactions.

 

These are usually applied directly to the skin using a rollerball. This allows for a more targeted application, typically on pulse points like the wrists, neck, or behind the ears.

 

Because they are more concentrated, perfume oils often have a more intense, deeper fragrance. However, this intensity is more subtle and closer to the skin.

 

Our Perfume Oils are sold in smaller bottles and  because they are concentrated and don’t require a large amount to apply. The packaging is often simpler or minimalist so its easier to carry wherever you go.

 

Our perfume oils use natural essential oils, which are derived from plants, flowers, and fruits. These oils can offer a more authentic, natural scent experience.

Are your perfume oils vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes, all of our perfumes oils at Oli Collective are both vegan and cruelty-free. We are committed to creating products that are not only luxurious and effective but also ethically produced. None of our fragrances contain animal-derived ingredients, and we never test on animals. Our mission is to offer beautiful scents that are kind to both you and the planet.

 

Our commitment to ethical practices goes beyond our products. We partner exclusively with manufacturers, suppliers, and businesses that align with our cruelty-free values. Furthermore, we actively support and promote alternative, non-animal testing methods, encouraging the broader industry to adopt these compassionate practices.

How long do the perfume oils last?

The longevity of perfume oil is influenced by factors such as application method, skin type, activity level, and environmental conditions, including humidity. However, perfume oils generally last longer than traditional spray perfumes due to their higher concentration of fragrance oils and absence of alcohol, which tends to evaporate more quickly. As a result, perfume oils offer a more enduring scent, typically lasting several hours longer than their spray counterparts. Proper application to pulse points and optimal storage conditions can further enhance the lasting power.

Application & Usage

How do I apply perfume oils for the best scent experience?

To get the most out of your perfume oil, apply it to pulse points, such as your wrists, neck, and behind the ears, these areas emit heat, which helps to diffuse and enhance the scent. This helps to diffuse the fragrance more effectively. Avoid rubbing the oil into your skin, as this can break down the scent. For longer-lasting results, apply the oil to clean, moisturized skin, as it helps retain the fragrance.

Can I layer different perfume oils?

Absolutely! Layering perfume oils allows you to create a customized fragrance. Here’s how to do it:

Start with a lighter scent as your base.

Add a richer, more intense fragrance on top for depth.

Ensure the scents complement each other by testing different combinations.

Layering perfume oils is a great way to personalize your fragrance, but experiment to find the perfect blend that suits your style.

How much should I apply?

The amount of perfume oil you apply depends on your personal preference and the intensity of the fragrance.

We recommend applying 1-2 drops to all the pulse points.

For a more subtle fragrance, apply sparingly. For a stronger presence, feel free to layer the perfume oil to your desired strength. Remember , perfume oils are highly concentrated, so a little goes a long way.
