My Love For Perfume Oils


Happy Halloween. I thought I'd stand out from the crowd and do a post that isn't about Halloween this evening. Yesterday I was walking through my local shopping centre and decided to stop at the perfume concession stall that has been there for the last few months. Pocket Perfumes sells perfume oils that are made to smell like designer fragrances. They were 3 for £10 and I wish I could have bought them all. Firstly they did a consultation and asked about what scents I liked the most and which perfumes I buy the most. The lady serving me then brought out a variety of perfume oils made by the woman that owns the counter and allowed me to try several perfume oil replicas of my favourite designer scents. The great thing about perfume oils is that they last a really long because they absorb into your skin and the majority of the oils are naturally made and don't include the chemicals or alcohol like the originals. 

The scents I chose was the ones made to smell like DKNY Delicious Apple, Miss Dior and Jimmy Choo. I was so shocked when I sniffed my wrist after applying their Jimmy Choo style fragrance and realising it smells also exactly like the original. I've been an avid user of perfume oils ever since my father brought back a set from Egypt three years ago. I was given two big bottles of the mixed egyptian oil and I've still got plenty left with it still smelling like it did the day he bought it. These mini bottles shown in the picture above can last up to a month each if used excessively and make a great alternative to the pricer perfumes you can get on the market. Buying these has saved me from going through my new bottle of Gucci Black at such a fast rate and I can now reserve my more expensive items for a special occasion.

If you live in West Yorkshire  check out the Pocket Perfume Facebook page or alternatively search there's a different online store called The Perfume Doctor. The Perfume Doctor has no relation to Pocket Perfumes, but it looks to have a good selection of perfume oils for anyone looking to try them for the first time.

Have you tried perfume oils before?

  1. I love the idea of perfume oils although I can't say I've ever smelt one. Do you think they would be ok for sensitive skin? I've had trouble with standard perfume roll-ons in the past so better to be safe then sorry. Lovely post :)
