If you’re looking for a perfume that won’t disappear quickly or that’s gentler on your skin or budget, all roads lead to the best perfume oils. These fragrant finds contain less alcohol than traditional perfume sprays, which means they offer a longer-lasting scent and are generally milder on the skin. And since they are more concentrated, there’s no need for a hefty (pricey) bottle; a little will go a long way. This is why most come in a compact roller ball format.

As a bonus, these oils generally have a longer shelf life. So if you desire a scent that will truly endure, read on for top-rated and editor-approved options. We’ve handpicked some of the best perfume oils on the market, according to shoppers and our discerning taste, to help you find your signature scent—whether you prefer floral, woodsy, fresh or fruity perfumes, we have you covered.
