Niche Brands vs. designer.. the differences
As we become more drawn to organic products, ethical manufacture, and a return to nature, natural and nature identical and most of all cruelty free materials in perfumes may be an important subject for some. Here, we shine a light on the differences in quality and quantity between niche brands including Barony Beauty and the designer fragrance industry ...
Perfume a heady concentrate
The basic concentrate is a mixture of pure raw materials (essential oils, natural absolutes and/or nature identical materials), which is diluted in alcohol to facilitate its evaporation.
Concentration is given by the percentage of dilution of the concentrate in alcohol. The "designer" fragrance industry as a whole, uses between 15% & 20% in their fragrance preparations. Niche brands such as Barony Beauty use a much higher percentage of actual fragrance without adding water, making this a true long lasting Parfum Elixir.
At Barony Beauty :
The formula of each of our fragrances is:
- Perfume, also known as "elixir", “extract” or "extrait" is the most concentrated preparation, with a percentage between 25% and 28% of raw materials diluted in alcohol. This preparation does not contain water or "aqua" as listed on the product label. If a brand claims that their fragrance is a Perfume, then no water should be present. If their preparation does contain water but also contains 25% of fragrance materials, then this would be classed as an Eau de Parfum - intense, but not a true Parfum. Water in a fragrance can be identified as 'aqua' on the product ingredients label.

(The more concentrated the product is and the higher its raw material content, the longer lasting and better quality a fragrance will be)
