After the oils are fully blended, they are put into a still and heated until the solvent evaporates.

This results in a very sensitive end product that should be stored out of direct sunlight, preferably in a dark, cool, dry place. This will ensure minimal degradation of the product.

You can also layer the perfume oil with other products, such as lotion or body cream. NEVER, apply perfume oil (or any fragrance spray) and rub into your skin. This will have a negative impact on the top & middle notes thus potentially ruining the overall small and performance of the product. Apply and do NOTHING, just allow the oil to sink into your skin which will yield the best overall results.

 When applying perfume oil, be sure to start with a small amount. You can always add more if you want a stronger scent. It is also important to be aware of your body chemistry, as this can affect how the fragrance smells & performs on you. Some people will be more sensitive to smells, while others may not notice a difference as much. It is also important to understand your environment when applying perfume (of any kind).
