Quality Fragrance OilsMK for Women Impression #242 | Long-Lasting Perfume Oil, Alcohol-Free, Strong Scent, 10ml Roll-On | Affordable Alternative to Designer Fragrances

Okay. I am not gonna lie. I own many of these fragrances myself, so I feel that I can adequately describe what you gain (or subsequently loose) with these fragrance oils.OIL VS. EDT or EDP (Oils vs. Alcohols)I know everyone wants to smell their best, but the last thing they want is to pay a fortune while doing so. With that said, some of these oils also last longer than their real fragrance counter-part. For instance, QFO's Allure Homme Sport projects about an extra 2-3 hours. For me, Allure Homme Sport ETD becomes a skin sent in about 2 hours, but with the oils I get 5-6 hours of full on projection. Call it beast-mode if you will, however, there are a few slight differences with fragrance oils. You definitely know when you are wearing the Chanel vs. the oil because the Chanel breaks down into a smoother and alluring dry-down. This is called the "dry-down" and its where you can break apart the notes. With the oil, on the other hand, they kind of mimic the opening, but give you a consistent smell through-out the fragrance. Definitely the oil smells less "refined", but for 5-6 bucks, I could not ask for anything better. The reality is if someone gets a waft of you, they'll think you smell great. And if they are an enthusiast, they may even ask you what you or wearing or guess it for themselves.DESIGNER OILSFor QFO's average designer scents (Acqua Di Gio/Light Blue/Dior Sauvage/1 Million), you can't go wrong. They are all slightly little off, Light Blue and 1 Million imparticularly for me. That's not to say that if you were given a strip of the oil and the real parfum, you could be able to match all of them. I know for many people, what it really boils down to is the price. For 6-7 bucks, you can have something that in a department store costs you 3-4x that amount (for the mL you get). Forget the slight variations or the minuta of fragrances, you're willing to pay 15% of the actual cost for 85% of the quality.NICHE OILSAs for some of their niche scents, I found Silver Water Mountain to be egregious. Smells way too alcoholish and ting/musky compared to the real one. I guess SWM was never a favorite to begin with, but I'd say this version did not even remotely resemble it. QFO's Aventus Creed on the other hand is a close related cousin. Of course you will run into the same issues as before with composition and definition, but there are so many clones of this out there that aren't that well-defined either. Thus, I'd actually put this oil up in the top clone list... probably right under Club de Nuit by Armaf (THE Aventus Clone everyone and their momma seems to have). I have not touched any of their Tom Ford collections. Maybe a trigger-happy buy for later.OTHER NOTES:Other things to ponder: think of the advantages of something that can placed in your pocket and easily applied. If you are just getting into fragrances and do not have a whole bunch of money to spend (under 30), this is a no-brainer. I mean you could either spend your money for a real cologne "cheapie" that lasts 5 mins on your skin or you could dabble in the smells (plural) that people fork over their Benjamins to procure. This goes especially towards college or high school students that want to smell like an adult, but without having to spend their entire allowance. In any case, anything that keeps the kiddos from smelling like Axe body spray, I am all down for!

I’ve gotten other perfume oils from this company before. And I can tell you, their scents are definitely better than other perfume companies I’ve come across.These perfume oils last quite a long time, as long as they’re applied properly.Never rub the oils into your skin as it tends to weaken the scent. Just roll on wherever you like. The parts of your body that exude the most heat. Pulse points, and creases.The scent of juicy sweet peaches is the first note that will hit you. It’s not a fake smelling peach either. It does smell like peach ring candy. The middle notes are a very very light powdery scent. Not like baby powder , but it’s very soft. Almost like a marshmallow. You’ll smell the vanilla as the base notes. It’s a really lovely smell. The vanilla isn’t like an overly sweet strong synthetic vanilla. But with the sweet powdery middle note and vanilla at the end, this does fall into a gourmand category.It’s not an offensive strong perfume oil.But it is something you’ll smell and others around you within arms distance.My husband is always sniffing me because of the perfume oils I wear. It causes him to roll his eyes into his head , LOL!!I own many expensive name brand perfumes. The ones you pay hundreds of dollars for just for one bottle.But I’ve switched to perfume oils, as they’re not only easier to take along with you, but they’re extremely cost effective.No one can smell the “ brand “ of the perfumes you wear. But with perfume oils , you can still smell absolutely delicious without breaking the bank!This company has quality oils, AND despite their ETA for delivery, I always get them in the mail a whole lot sooner than expected.They’re also sealed properly so you don’t have to worry about any leaking.I love this company! Their oils are truly very good and the quality of them are always amazing, even my friends just walking by or sitting by me can smell them and always ask what it is and where I got them from.So in turn, I’ve gifted these to them and now they are perfume oil lovers as well!

I really like Versace's Yellow Diamonds. I wear it everywhere for daytime. I had high hopes for this because VYD doesn't last very long on me whereas perfume oils generally last longer and require less product. I first tested both on paper strips: Versace Yellow Diamond is stronger and projects more. VYD seems lighter/284 feels heavy on the paper. I have to work harder to smell 284.After an hour of dry down, the VYD is still stronger and more present, but the scents really are identical, at least to my nose. Skin Test: Sadly, QFO is not holding up. It doesn’t last long, and it has a petroleum smell on my skin. It’s very off-putting. If not for this I think the scents would be close, but it’s hard to tell. Throughout the day as the scent has lifted the petroleum smell has gone away but so have the desired notes. I wore both this (left arm) and VYD (right arm) throughout the morning and most of the afternoon. I wore them to the gym VYD did better in terms of longevity, projection, and agreeable fragrance. I had high hopes for QFO because the oils tend to last longer and are stronger, but I don’t think I’ll be wearing this again.
