When shopping at beauty and department stores, you most likely see shelves full of different perfumes. While these perfumes may smell good and last all day, they are typically made from synthetic aroma chemicals. Some perfumes might list natural ingredients on the bottle, but usually contain little to no natural ingredients. Let’s take a closer look at what natural perfumes are and why they may be a better option for you.
What is Natural Perfume?
Natural perfume is made from aromatic ingredients, such as essential oils, absolutes, resins, tinctures, floral waxes, and spices. Perfume has been used for centuries and is still a popular way to smell good for the whole family. In the past, perfumes would include animal scents like musk, civet, and ambergris. Since more companies have transitioned to becoming vegan and cruelty-free, it’s more common for perfumes to have synthetic fragrances that resemble real animal scents.
How is Natural Perfume Different from Most Perfumes?
Most perfumes contain synthetic aroma chemicals, which are much cheaper, more available, and offer a wider range of scents compared to natural perfumes. Indeed, store-bought perfumes typically contain at least 80 percent of aroma chemicals, meaning they contain little natural ingredients. While synthetic ingredients help store-bought perfumes last longer, natural perfumes provide a more interesting, subtle scent that just can’t be found in most store-bought varieties.
If you prefer a more subtle scent, you will appreciate natural perfumes. This is far different from synthetic perfumes that have an intense, loud smell that lasts all day. Since not everyone enjoys the same scents, others around you will appreciate not having your perfume fill up an entire room. Indeed, natural perfumes will not leave people coughing behind you in your perfume trail. Another interesting aspect of natural perfume is that the scent changes throughout the day.
How Should You Apply a Natural Perfume?
You can apply a natural perfume in the same way you do with other perfumes. It’s recommended that you apply the roll-on perfume on your pulse points, which are “hot spots” where your blood flows close to your skin. These hot spots help generate heat that helps disperse the perfume into the air around you. Pulse points include the inside of your wrists, on your neck, below the ear, on the center of your chest, and behind the knees.
How Long Do Natural Perfumes Last?
How long a natural perfume lasts depends on the specific formula. In general, most natural perfumes last a few hours compared to the all day scent of traditional perfumes. Since Signa Scents offers convenient roll-on perfume bottles, this makes it easy to reapply later on for an all day scent.
What Is the Best Way to Store Natural Perfume?
The best way to store natural perfumes is in a cool, dark place away from heat, humidity, and direct light. This helps the perfume maintain its freshness and original state. It’s recommended that you always keep the lid fully closed when not in use, which helps prevent the perfume from deteriorating due to oxygen exposure.
