Fragrance Guide

Discover how to apply and enjoy your Knyazhenika alcohol-free oil-based fragrances. Our perfumes are 100% concentrated fragrance oils that offer long-lasting, intimate scent experiences.

1. About Oil-Based Fragrances

Our fragrances are alcohol-free, 100% concentrated perfume oils that:

  • Last longer than traditional alcohol-based perfumes
  • Develop uniquely on each person's skin chemistry
  • Are gentler on sensitive skin
  • Provide a more intimate, close-to-skin scent
  • Don't evaporate quickly like alcohol-based fragrances

2. How to Apply Oil-Based Fragrance

IMPORTANT: Apply ONLY to skin, never to clothing or fabrics - oil can stain.

Pulse Points:

Apply a small amount to your pulse points where the skin is warmest:

  • Wrists (inner side)
  • Behind the ears
  • Base of the throat
  • Inside of elbows
  • Behind the knees

Application Method:

  • Use the rollerball or dropper to apply a small amount
  • Gently dab or roll onto pulse points
  • Let the oil absorb naturally - do NOT rub vigorously
  • A little goes a long way - start with 1-2 drops per pulse point
  • Allow 10-15 minutes for the fragrance to warm up and develop on your skin

3. When to Apply

  • Apply to clean, dry skin for best results
  • Ideal time is right after showering when skin is clean
  • Apply to moisturized skin - oil fragrances work beautifully on hydrated skin
  • Wait a few minutes after applying lotion before applying fragrance oil

4. How Much to Use

  • Start with just 1-2 drops or one roll per pulse point
  • Oil-based fragrances are highly concentrated - less is more
  • You can always add more, but it's hard to remove excess
  • The scent will develop and strengthen as it warms on your skin
  • Reapply as needed throughout the day - oil fragrances typically last 6-12 hours

5. Making Your Fragrance Last Longer

  • Apply to well-moisturized skin - oil absorbs better into hydrated skin
  • Layer over unscented body oil or lotion for extended wear
  • Apply to warmer areas of the body where circulation is higher
  • Reapply to pulse points rather than adding more initially
  • Oil-based fragrances naturally last longer than alcohol-based ones

6. Fragrance Storage

  • Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight
  • Keep the cap tightly closed when not in use
  • Avoid storing in the bathroom - humidity can affect quality
  • Keep away from heat sources and temperature fluctuations
  • Store upright to prevent leakage
  • Properly stored oil fragrances can last several years

7. What to Avoid

  • DO NOT apply to clothing or fabrics: Oil will stain and leave marks
  • Avoid rubbing: Gently dab and let the oil absorb naturally
  • Don't over-apply: Oil fragrances are concentrated - a little goes a long way
  • Avoid broken or irritated skin: Wait until skin is healed
  • Keep away from eyes and mucous membranes
  • Don't apply before sun exposure: Some oils can increase photosensitivity

8. Benefits of Oil-Based Fragrances

  • Longer-lasting scent (6-12 hours or more)
  • No alcohol means no drying effect on skin
  • More skin-friendly for sensitive skin types
  • Scent develops uniquely with your body chemistry
  • More concentrated - better value
  • Intimate, close-to-skin projection

9. Understanding Scent Development

Oil-based fragrances develop differently than alcohol-based perfumes:

  • Initial application: Scent may seem subtle at first
  • After 10-15 minutes: Fragrance warms and opens up on your skin
  • After 30 minutes: True scent character emerges
  • Throughout the day: Scent evolves and melds with your natural chemistry

10. Skin Sensitivity

  • Test new fragrances on a small area first (inner wrist or elbow)
  • Wait 24 hours to ensure no allergic reaction
  • If irritation occurs, discontinue use and wash area with soap and water
  • Oil-based fragrances are generally gentler than alcohol-based ones
