class=\"wp-block-heading\">Perfume Essence: What Is It and How Does It Differ from Perfume?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A perfume essence is a more concentrated version of a fragrance composition, usually in the form of an oil. It offers a different option for those who love perfumes and wish to explore their favourite fragrance beyond the classic spray format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But what exactly does \u2018essence\u2019 mean, how does it differ from a classic perfume, and how can you choose the one that suits you best?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"\u03c4\u03b9-\u03b5\u03af\u03bd\u03b1\u03b9-\u03c4\u03bf-essence-\u03b1\u03c1\u03ce\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03bf\u03c2\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a perfume essence?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The term \u2018Essence\u2019 is used to describe a concentrated fragrance composition available in oil form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike a traditional perfume, which is usually applied by spraying, an essence is used in smaller quantities and applied directly to specific areas of the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The basic idea remains the same: different aromatic notes are combined to create a specific character, whether that be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>fresh and citrusy,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>flowery,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>sweet,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>woody,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>spicy,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>or warmer and more sensual.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the Elysea Essences collection, you can discover a range of different fragrance profiles and choose the one that best suits your personal style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/elysea.eu\/en\/product-category\/essences\/\"><strong><em>Essences Elysea<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"essence-\u03ba\u03b1\u03b9-\u03ba\u03bb\u03b1\u03c3\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc-\u03ac\u03c1\u03c9\u03bc\u03b1-\u03c0\u03bf\u03b9\u03b1-\u03b5\u03af\u03bd\u03b1\u03b9-\u03b7-\u03b4\u03b9\u03b1\u03c6\u03bf\u03c1\u03ac\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Essence and classic perfume: what\u2019s the difference?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main difference between a fragrance essence and a classic perfume lies in their form and how they are applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Essence comes in the form of an oil and is applied topically, whilst classic perfume is usually used as a spray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This does not mean that one is necessarily better than the other. They are simply two different ways of enjoying a fragrant blend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td>Perfume Essence<\/td><td>Classic

class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you use a fragrance essence?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don\u2019t need to use a large amount of the essence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is usually applied to areas of the body where the fragrance can gradually develop, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>on the wrists,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>behind the ears,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>around the neck,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>or at other pulse points.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few drops or a small amount is usually sufficient for application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is also advisable to avoid rubbing the product in vigorously after application, as it is better to let the formula work naturally on the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"\u03c0\u03ce\u03c2-\u03b5\u03be\u03b5\u03bb\u03af\u03c3\u03c3\u03b5\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9-\u03ad\u03bd\u03b1-\u03ac\u03c1\u03c9\u03bc\u03b1-\u03c0\u03ac\u03bd\u03c9-\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf-\u03b4\u03ad\u03c1\u03bc\u03b1\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does a fragrance develop on the skin?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A fragrance does not necessarily smell exactly the same from the moment it is applied until some time later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is because perfumes are usually organised into different layers of fragrance notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"\u03bd\u03cc\u03c4\u03b5\u03c2-\u03ba\u03bf\u03c1\u03c5\u03c6\u03ae\u03c2\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Top notes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are the first notes we notice after application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They often feature lighter, fresher elements, such as citrus fruits or aromatic notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4

round off the fragrance\u2019s identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this category, we often find woody notes, amber, vanilla, musk or other deeper notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3

to choose the right Essence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best way to choose an essence is not just by its name or packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start with the fragrance families and notes that you already know you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If, for example, you prefer fresh and bright fragrances, you might look for perfumes with citrus or marine notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, if you prefer more intense and warm scents, you\u2019ll probably find that fragrances with woody, spicy or amber notes suit you better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"citrus-\u03ae-\u03be\u03c5\u03bb\u03ce\u03b4\u03b5\u03c2-essence\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Citrus or woody essence?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p
