How Perfume Oils Are Made: Extraction Techniques & Vegan, Alcohol-Free Benefits

Perfume oils are the heart of every fragrance, defining scent profile, longevity, and skin-friendliness. Whether extracted from plants or lab-crafted, these oils are essential in modern perfumery.

At JYCTY, we use only premium vegan and cruelty-free perfume oils. Our roll-on oils are alcohol-free, ensuring a longer-lasting scent and gentler experience on your skin.

Perfume Oil Extraction Methods

  • Solvent Extraction: Botanical materials are soaked in low-temp solvents to pull out aromatic compounds, and later processed into absolutes.
  • Steam Distillation: Plants are boiled and their natural oils collected as steam condenses — ideal for florals like lavender and rose.
  • Expression (Cold Pressing): Primarily for citrus fruits, this method mechanically presses oils from the peel, capturing fresh top notes.
  • CO₂ Extraction: A modern, gentle method using pressurized carbon dioxide to preserve delicate aromatics in premium perfume oils.
  • Enfleurage: An ancient technique using fat to absorb floral scents — rarely used today but valued in niche blends.

Why Vegan & Alcohol-Free Perfume Oils Matter

Our vegan, cruelty-free, and alcohol-free perfume oils offer:

  • Skin-friendly wear for all skin types
  • Better longevity and deeper scent complexity
  • Ethical, sustainable sourcing
