Scents can make people remember occasions, celebrations, periods of time, or even specific people and memories. Perfumes are a reflection of one’s character, and they can be even more complex than that. When picking out a scent, nostalgia plays its part and you’ll want to use an irresistible fragrance that has the allure to make heads turn and linger on, at least in people’s minds and memories for hours after you leave.
In Singapore, one can find affordable Orchid scents for any kind of occasion ranging from bold scents that leave a striking impression to more subtle notes. These perfumes are available as alcoholic or non-alcoholic (halal) perfumes, both of which have their own benefits and purposes depending on the situation.
Not quite sure which of the two types of perfumes to pick for a that great celebration heading your way, or that party or a chill day out with friends? Scentopia is here to help you understand the differences between non-alcoholic and alcoholic perfumes. At Scentopia, you can buy a ready made perfume or craft your own signature orchid scent, based on your personality.
NON-ALCOHOLIC PERFUMES
The very first perfumes were non-alcoholic and are commanly called 'attars'. Originating from India and the Middle East, these are basically highly concentrated perfumes made by distilling botanicals (herbs, ground spices, flowers) and then adding these essences to essential oils such as sandalwood.
These days non-alcoholic perfumes are created for a number of reasons. There are people who are allergic to alcohol or alcoholic components as the alcohol can dry skin. We all remember putting sanitizer on our hands in 2020 and 2021. Its about the same effect.
In some parts of the world, there are religious concerns with regards to alcohol use and the followers may opt to wear a non-alcoholic, halal fragrance instead. There are also social situations where you may want to smell nice without coming across too strongly. Or you may simply want to try the scent as ancients used to apply.
The alcohol-free halal attars scents tend to have a higher concentration of perfume oil, enabling their fragrance to last for much longer, even between 12 to 24 hours. Don’t be surprised when you can still smell the scent you sprayed after leaving a party!
Despite their longevity, non-alcoholic perfumes have a low sillage as there is no alcohol to diffuse the scent. If you’re looking for a simple daily scent to last from morning to night without smelling too overpowering, an affordable non-alcoholic perfume or an essential oil like might be the right choice.
If you’re planning to head out for some fun and looking for a long-lasting scent that will linger till the end of the night, then consider a DIY halal non-alcoholic perfume making session, which might be the perfect way to complete your final look.
ALCOHOLIC PERFUMES
First impressions are important! Alcoholic perfumes are perfect when you want to make a bold statement and show off your personality through a unique scent. Alcohol is used to diffuse the scent around you creating an aura.
Our collection of orchid essential oils allow you to create your own signature alcoholic fragrances that will make you feel confident and proud. The scent is as unique as you.
Alcohol-based perfumes come in varying degrees of fragrance concentration ranging from Eau de Parfum (EDP) with 15% to 20% concentration to Eau de Cologne (EDC) with 2% to 4% concentration. The lower fragrance concentrations for these perfume types are in part because they have a higher alcohol concentration and their scents can last between 2 to 6 hours. At Scentopia, you will be making an EDPm which is made at 20% concentration level
Alcohol-based perfumes have a higher projection and sillage. Your scent can come off strong and will surely make you stand out and turn heads as you walk through a crowd. These types of fragrances are ideal for when you want to make an impression at a meeting or an event you’re attending as they are definitely an attention grabber!
