Perfumes Info


The word perfume is derived from a Latin word "Per Fumum" meaning "through smoke." The art of perfumery was known to the ancient Chinese, Hindus, Egyptians, Arabs, Greeks, and Romans.

The burning of incense in religious rites of ancient China , Palestine , and Egypt led gradually to the personal use of perfume known as attars, widespread in ancient Greece and Rome . During the Middle Ages, crusaders brought the knowledge of perfumery to Europe from the East. After 1500, Paris was the major center of perfume-making followed by Egypt and other middle eastern countries.

We have teamed up with a renowned French perfumer and are excited about being able to offer popular and premium fine quality fragrance at affordable prices.
Now smelling great does not have to cost you more!!



What's the fuss between fragrance oil and ordinary perfumes?


When you purchase alcohol-free fragrance oil, what you are getting is pure perfume oil that is far more sophisticated then over-the-counter perfumes. The pure perfume oil emits a fine scent that is delicate yet strong but never offensive or overpowering.
Known for its well-balanced characteristics and long-lasting smell, perfume oil is pure and unadulterated by industrial fillers such as alcohol, white oil and water. These fillers, commonly found in the over-the-counter perfumes are used to make up the volume for larger packaging.


Various Types of Perfume Concentration Level

Perfume Oil / Fine Fragrance 100% 0%
Perfume or Parfum 15% - 30% 85% - 70%
Eau de Parfum 8% - 30% 92% - 70%
Eau De Toilette 4% - 8% 96% - 92%
Eau de Cologne 2% - 5% 98% - 95%
Splash Cologne 1% - 3% 99% - 97%

What's the problem with alcohol anyway?

Alcohol tends to kill off or mask some of the subtle notes in many fragrances.

Ethyl alcohol is the most popular alcohol found in ordinary perfumes. It is extremely caustic. Many people who think they are allergic to the perfumes are actually allergic to the alcohol added in the perfume.

Alcohol is a drying agent - it makes things evaporate including the fragrance and your natural body oils.

Alcohol also is a forbidden substance to be associated with the Muslim users.


How long do One Drop Perfumes last?

A well-established fact is that oil based perfumes do not evaporate quickly and will settle on the skin for much longer, causing the scent to linger for a longer period of time.

The oil-based One Drop Perfumes last up to 12 to 24 hours - depending on your body chemistry. If you apply the fragrance on your clothing, the scent will last throughout the day as it permeates into the fabric of your clothing.

Hence it is no gimmick when claim you will smell great throughout the day with only one drop of our fragrance oil.
