You’ve heard of perfume sprays, but what about fragrance oils?
Spoiler alert: they last longer, hit harder, and smell like you actually know what you’re doing. Welcome to the future of smelling good—Southern Debauchery style.
💧 What Is a Fragrance Oil? Fragrance oils are concentrated, oil-based blends of aromatic compounds that deliver powerful, long-lasting scent—without the alcohol, fillers, or skin irritants found in traditional perfumes.
Think of them as perfume’s sultrier, more sophisticated cousin—the one that lingers longer and plays by her own rules.
At Southern Debauchery, every oil is:
Vegan and cruelty-free
Non-toxic and clean
Hand-poured in the USA
And made to smell expensive AF without the brand tax
🧴 Oils vs. Sprays: What’s the Real Difference? We’re not here to hate on sprays, but if you’ve ever felt like your perfume ghosted you by lunchtime… yeah, that’s the alcohol talking.
Let’s break it down:
Feature | Perfume Spray | Fragrance Oil |
Alcohol-Based | ✅ Yes | ❌ Nope |
Longevity | 2–6 hours | 6–12+ hours |
Scent Strength | Starts strong, fades fast | Builds and lingers |
Skin-Friendly | Can dry you out | Hydrating & gentle |
Cost | $$$ | Rebel pricing |
So if you're into subtle seduction over loud explosions, oils are your new best friend.
💡 Why We Only Do Oils (For Now)
At Southern Debauchery, we’re not here to rush a vibe. We started with pure fragrance oils because:
They’re multi-functional (more on that in a sec)
They offer better wear time per drop
And honestly? They just hit different.
Plus, sprays are coming soon—but oils are the backbone of everything we do.
🔥 How to Use Fragrance Oils Like a Pro. Our oils aren’t just for wearing—they’re for living. Here’s how to get the most out of your bottle:
Wear it: Dab a few drops on your pulse points (wrists, neck, collarbone). A little goes a long way.
Diffuse it: Add a few drops to your ultrasonic diffuser to scent your space without chemicals.
Reed it: Pour it into a reed diffuser for continuous home fragrance.
DIY it: Mix into unscented lotion, body oil, bath soaks, or even candles if you’re feeling crafty.
This is pure perfume oil, not essential oil—so while it smells heavenly, don’t eat it, drink it, or put it in your eyes. (We know you’re wild, but be safe.)
