So I was dabbing on some CB I Hate Perfume Black Tea Accord, an oil-based absolute, and realized something as I was swooning happily: I seem to greatly prefer oil and wax-based fragrances to water/alcohol-based fragrances.
My comparative data points are:
- CB I Hate Perfume Tea/Rose in water perfume versus oil-based perfume absolute. (It is oil-based, right? It's not glycerine or something else that's oil-slick?)
- Pacifica Tuscan Blood Orange in perfume versus wax-based solid.
- Jo Malone White Jasmine & Mint in cologne versus bath oil.
- ElizabethW Rose in EDP versus bath oil.
- ElizabethW Sweet Tea in EDP versus bath oil.
For all of these, I like the oil/wax-based version _much_ better than the other version.
And then there are several other CB I Hate Perfume scents that I have in the itty bitty 2ml oil-based vials, that I like better than most of my alcohol-based perfumes.
I realize that this is a very limited data set, and that bath oil isn't exactly the same as oil-based perfume, but I still found it interesting. Does anyone else also have this preference?
