The problem

Your RM300+ EDP gone by lunch Every time

Your paid for 15% fragrance oil only. The rest is alcohol, and it doesn't last.

  1. IN THE BOTTLE

    Alcohol is the carrier, not the scent

    It pushes the top notes out loud, then takes them with it. The heart and base never arrive.

  2. IN THIS HEAT

    Alcohol goes faster here

    Formulated for a colder country. In hot summer and humidity, it's gone in a few hours.

  3. ON YOUR SKIN

    Alcohol stings, then it dries you out

    Every morning it strips the oil out of your skin. Tight at first, then irritated, then itching.

  • Alcohol spray
  • Oil de Parfum

Illustrative, not measured. Wear varies with skin and climate. Up to 7 hours from a single application.

What we made instead

50% fragrance oil
No alcohol

Nothing evaporates it off you. Body heat brings it up, not off.

50% FRAGRANCE OIL

Half the bottle is the perfume

No alcohol to lift it off, so it bonds to warm skin instead. Up to 7 hours from one application, on skin, never fabric.

TOP, HEART AND BASE

The whole scent arrives

It opens slow instead of loud, then the heart comes through and the base settles. The parts you've never smelled.

NO ALCOHOL

Goes on without the sting

Nothing to burn, nothing to strip, nothing to dry out the skin underneath. Enjoyed by any skin type

Oil de Parfum

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it stain my clothes?

It will stain fabric. That's the trade-off of an oil base, and it's why only spray on skin only. Wrists, neck, behind the ears.

Without alcohol, will it actually project?

Differently, yes. Alcohol throws scent into a room. Oil keeps it on you, so it gets noticed up close rather than from across one and up close is where compliments come from. The most common review we get is someone at the next desk asking what they're wearing.

Seven hours sounds like a lot. Will it last that long on me?

Up to seven hours is the ceiling, not a promise. Skin chemistry moves it either way — dry skin holds less, warm skin holds more. Most people spray once, in the morning, and don't think about it again.

I have sensitive skin. Is it safe for me?

There's no alcohol in it, and alcohol is the part that stings and dries. If you're worried, try our discovery sets first and patch test on skin before committing to a full bottle.

Is 50% fragrance oil real, or just a number?

It's the formula, not a label. Half the bottle is fragrance oil, with no denatured alcohol and no perfumer's alcohol hiding in the ingredient list.

Does it hold up in summer places?

Better than alcohol does. Heat is what makes alcohol evaporate faster. With oil, body heat is what lifts the scent off your skin, so warm days bring it up rather than burn it off. Reviewers mention it holding through hikes and humid afternoons.

It doesn't feel cold when I spray it. Is that normal?

That's the oil. The chill you're used to is the alcohol evaporating, not the perfume. Oil doesn't evaporate, so it goes on warm and stays warm. It reads as odd for about a week if you've only ever worn sprays.

How much do I use, and where?

One or two sprays on pulse points. Wrists, neck, behind the ears. It's concentrated, so more isn't better. Skin only, never fabric.

50ml doesn't sound like much. How long does a bottle last?

3-5 months, at 2 or 3 sprays a day. 50% fragrance oil concentration goes a long way.

I've never bought fragrance before. Where do I start?

Reviewers mentioned our description is pretty accurate. But you can try The Discovery Set. 4x 1.5ml vials of several scents.

★★★★★How beautiful it lasts

If you love the warm, woody, slightly addictive vibe of Le Labo Santal 33, this gives me a very similar feeling without the hefty price tag. What surprised me most is the longevity—it actually lasts beautifully on my skin and I can still catch whiffs of it hours later.

★★★★★Favorite scent

Lasted 12 hours from first spray. Smells ambigous, neither masculine nor feminine. Smells really smooth and seductive. This is my new fav scent since buying Dior Sauvage EDP.

★★★★★How it lands

The scent is really good. Not too strong that it bothers people around you, but strong enough to make people notice.

★★★★★After you buy

I accidentally dropped my bottle and broke the sprayer. DM'd them on IG and got a fast reply. They even help me repair the bottle with a new cap. Great customer service.

★★★★★BUYING IT SIGHT-UNSEEN

Given I do not normally leave reviews and I am residing overseas, buying this meant taking a risk and listening to the advice of the team at Analogue. Absolutely LOVE the product! … It has been my go to product everyday.

★★★★★A YEAR IN

Been using the solid perfume for over a year now. Thought to try the oil. I love how subtle it is and yet long lasting.
