Both the oil and the perfume versions are created with almost the same fragrance formula, so in theory, they should smell the same. However, the ingredients in the perfume do make certain ingredients “pop” more or seem sharper, while the oil in our fragrance oils softens certain ingredients. Ultimately, it comes down to your body chemistry, and how each version smells on your skin.
