Choosing Oil or Spray?

With the addition of a spray extract to the m a a r collection, we often receive the question – what to choose: Perfume oil or Extrait de parfum?

 

In short, choose what is more convenient and enjoyable for you, as they are both strong and long-lasting.

 

Almost everyone who has encountered maar fragrances at least once will confirm – every fragrance is strong and has its sillage (the spread of the fragrance, also known as the trail), allowing you to enjoy the scent throughout the day. Whether the scent is in the form of Perfume oil or a Spray Extrait de parfum does not affect the strength of the fragrance.

The biggest difference between them is the application. Perfume oil is applied only and directly to the skin, while Extrait de parfum is in a spray form and can also be applied to fabrics. Both of these fragrances have the highest concentration of perfume, so the key to choosing a fragrance is the convenience factor.

Perfume Oil (oil-based fragrance)

These are blends of natural oils and safe non-oil formulas. Oil-based fragrances have the least chance of irritating the skin, as they do not contain alcohol. Oil is wonderful in that it creates unique compounds with the skin’s natural and unique scent more than any other fragrance form. However, such a scent dominates only on the skin and is not suitable for fragrancing fabrics.

Extrait de Parfum (spray extract)

Fragrance extract is a rich and concentrated form of fragrance (stronger than the perfumed and eau de toilette fragrances in the fragrance world). Together with oil-based scents, the spray extract is considered the highest concentration of fragrance that can be applied both to the skin and to unpretentious fabrics.

However, do not forget that each scent on the skin diffuses and lasts differently depending on the time of year, the intensity of the note palette, the environment you are in, or body chemistry, which plays a primary role in both the revelation, uniqueness, and sustainability of the fragrance.
