What's Wrong With Alcohol Any Way?
First, it doesn't smell very nice. It tends to kill off some of the nicest notes in many fragrances which in pure form are truly delicious.

Second, it is not very good for you. Perfume fillers generally use ethyl alcohol, sometimes called ethanol. Your body considers ethanol to be a poison and many people who think they are allergic to perfume are actually allergic to the alcohol in the perfume

Third, alcohol is a drying agent -- used by industries all over the world as an additive to make thing evaporate very quickly. Unfortunately for you, as the alcohol evaporates, it also takes away the fragrance and your own natural body oils along with it, drying your skin as it goes!

With Pure Fragrance, your scent can last all day long!
Our fragrance oils last on both your person and your dressing table as well. Pure fragrance oils last most people 6 to 24 hours, depending upon skin type, evaporating naturally during the course of the day or evening. But, just as important, pure fragrance oils will also last and last in the bottle. Many people are not aware that perfumes with fillers spoil! Industry experts say 6 to 18 months is the usual shelf-life of a perfume, depending on the components and their quality. But, pure fragrance oils will retain their fragrance year after year.

Formulas for Designer Fragrances are well-kept secrets, but trained, experienced, fragrance professionals can generally pick apart the elements of most fragrances. Augmenting these skills with modern chemical techniques, such as the use of gas-liquid chromatography, helps make it possible to match a given fragrance with the same or better oils.⁽¹⁾

We carry over 1,000 different fragrances in pure oils which include many of your favorite fragrance perfume selections and designer fragrances. These duplicate the scent of all the famous fragrances from Arpege^TM to Zino^TM. None of our fragrance oils contain alcohol or misleading fillers. They contain only the oils that underlie many of your favorite fragrances.

Because of the mystique surrounding the fragrance industry, you might think that fragrances are the private property of the designers, but the courts have held that fragrance is something that belongs to nature and not to any individual. Therefore a fragrance cannot be patented or copyrighted and a manufacturer cannot prevent someone else from matching or improving upon any aroma in whole or in part.
Of course, the brand name of a designer fragrance can be copyrighted or registered and others may not use that name to their profit. That is why we are so careful to point out that we are not offering the orginals - we call ours "Oil of ...." to make the difference clear.

We are very proud of what we do. Day after day, customers tell us our versions smell better than the originals. Perhaps the lack of alcohol or, in some cases, higher quality oils makes the difference. Ounce for ounce, our perfume bottles contain fifteen to twenty times as much pure perfume oil as the typical Eau de Toilette, but choosing pure fragrance oils is not so much a question of saving money, as it is of getting your money's worth.
