The guide
Perfume oils are concentrated, alcohol-free fragrances applied directly to the skin. Rather than projecting hard and fading, they warm with your body and release scent gradually, which is why our oils wear for 10 to 12 hours on skin.
Every Samad perfume oil is finished in the UK using internationally sourced ingredients and produced in small batches. Each formula is left to settle and mature before bottling, and that resting period is what gives an oil its smoothness and its wear time.
The full range is here, but if you would rather narrow it down, we group the same oils into perfume oils for him, perfume oils for her and unisex perfume oils. Our best sellers are the shortest route to something you are likely to love.
Alcohol-based perfumes fade because the alcohol evaporates, that is simply how they work. A perfume oil has nothing to evaporate, so it stays close to the skin and lasts considerably longer. The format is also compact enough to carry every day.
Apply to pulse points, the wrists, neck and inner elbows, where the skin is warmest. Dab rather than rub, since rubbing breaks the fragrance down and cuts longevity. Moisturised skin holds an oil far longer than dry skin, so apply an unscented lotion first if you want maximum wear.
As with any fragrance, patch test on a small area of skin before full use.
We don't copy mainstream designer scents. Every fragrance in this collection is our own formulation, built at a higher concentration and designed for clarity, smoothness and everyday wearability, Western freshness with subtle Eastern and Arabian depth. Expect cleaner dry-downs and scents that hold their character without overpowering a room.
How long do Samad perfume oils last?
10 to 12 hours on skin, depending on your skin type and how well moisturised the skin is before application.
Are your perfume oils alcohol-free?
Yes. Every oil in this collection is alcohol-free. Our eau de parfum is alcohol-based, as most sprays are.
What is the difference between a perfume oil and an eau de parfum?
A perfume oil is an oil-based concentrate applied directly to the skin. It sits close to the body and lasts 10 to 12 hours. An eau de parfum is alcohol-based, projects more strongly at first, and wears for 8 to 10 hours depending on how much you apply. Many people wear both, an oil for every day and an eau de parfum for occasions.
Which size should I choose?
The 10ml is a good starting point and lasts most people several months with daily use. The 15ml is better value once you know a scent suits you. If you are undecided, a discovery set lets you try the range first.
