Perfume oil vs. Perfume spray: Which is better for your skin?

Roll-on perfume oils were a vintage affair used by the royalty and upper class during the rules of Kings and Queens across the globe.

However, over time these perfume oil rolls became less popular and the standard spray-ons came into trend, with the world using perfume sprays and deodorants to get a fresh and unique vibe.

The aura carried by both perfume oils and spray might be the same for some, but there are glaring differences between the two.

Let’s take a quick look at some differences between them and decide which is the best choice for human skin.

A strong perception that needs to be thrown away is that perfume oils are not long-lasting and strong. Alcohol perfumes usually spray into the air, as when the alcohol lands, it first touches your skin, hair, clothes, and skin, whereas the rest just dissipates in the air behind you. When you wear these sprays they dissipate into the air slowly, making everyone around you aware of your taste, but it slowly gasps into the air. However, oils seep into the skin and clothes with no stain and thus remain there even after several washes because of their consistency and application.

Skin sensitivity issues

If you have sensitive skin then you would know that many blends of things do not work for your skin chemistry. This includes the mix of alcohol with fragrance fillers which at times creates a dangerous recipe that further can cause redness and itchiness issues on your skin. However, perfume oils are usually made of essential oils which are a blend of mostly natural ingredients that do not cause sincere irritation and also soothe one’s mind at times.

Scent coming out from a specific region

This happens in perfume oils, as they only stick to places where you apply them for a long period of time. Thus, if you’re very close enough, then only you can smell it which is not the case with perfume sprays. Perfume sprays have strong hair particles revolving around your whole ensemble, hair, and skin which can be inhaled from a distance as well, but gradually it loses its effect.

Bottom line

Extracting fragrance is a rich and concentrated process with the spray extract considered the highest concentration of fragrance in the beauty world. Easy to apply with a long-lasting aura provided by some, it is most preferred. However, taking some knowledge and teachings from our ancestors, it would be safer to continue the use of perfume oil which is long-lasting, personal, better for the skin, and easier on our pockets.
