Scented body oil vs. perfume: scenting your body is one of life's everyday pleasures, but between a scented body oil and a perfume, the result and the effect on your skin aren't the same.
Perfume: intense and volatile
Perfume contains alcohol, which helps it project quickly and intensely.
However, when applied directly to the skin, it can sometimes:
dry out the skin
cause irritation
feel uncomfortable on sensitive skin
Scented body oil: soft and enveloping
A scented body oil offers:
a more subtle scent
a gradual release of fragrance
nourishing care at the same time
It's ideal if you're looking for a discreet, comfortable scent trail.
Can you layer scented body oil and perfume?
Yes.
A scented body oil can act as a base, while perfume is kept for a few pulse points.
Conclusion
Scented body oil and perfume meet different needs. For everyday use that's gentle on your skin, scented body oil remains an excellent alternative.
