Why are perfumes so expensive?

Have you ever wondered why designer perfumes are so expensive? Especially when compared to equivalent products, which perfectly imitate the aroma of the original product. At DIVAIN we tell you the main reasons why perfumes are so expensive, something that will undoubtedly surprise you! Why are perfumes so expensive? Is it a question of quality? The truth is that this is not always the case, as certain manufacturers of equivalent perfumes such as Divain use high quality ingredients in their processes , resulting in a fragrance that is practically identical to the original. This is not always the case, as some manufacturers choose to reduce costs in production, sacrificing the final quality of the product. But at DIVAIN we pay special attention to ensure that this does not happen, which is why our perfumes manage to live up to the expectations of our customers who are looking for high-end equivalent fragrances. The main reason for this price difference is found in the very nature of the brand that designed it and how it is marketed, some extra processes that make the final product more expensive. These are the three main reasons why perfume is so expensive today: Bottle design: It may seem like a small thing, but fashion brands pay a lot of attention to small details, which is not surprising considering the sector they work in. That is why some invest a lot of money in bottle design, as this is also part of their marketing strategy. Advertising: Fashion brands do not just sell a fragrance with their perfumes, but an idea, a desire to express one's own personality. That is why their advertising campaigns often use Hollywood actors and actresses , as well as singers and other celebrities from today's scene. Price is also marketing: many perfumes advocate selling the idea of ​​luxury, glamour and sophistication. The high prices of the big brands are also a strategy to convey exclusivity, and to make buyers feel that they are looking at a unique and high-quality product. Why is it better to choose cheap perfumes? By now you may be wondering: is it necessary to spend large sums of money to enjoy high-quality, designer fragrances? The answer is no, since at DIVAIN we make equivalent perfumes with high-quality ingredients, and we pay special attention to both the fragrance and the manufacturing of the packaging to offer an excellent product to our customers and at a good final price. In order to sell our products at competitive prices, we reduce costs in all those aspects that we consider superfluous , such as advertising or bottle design, but always placing special emphasis on quality. That's why our advertising investment is much more limited than that of the big brands. You will never see big Hollywood actors spraying our fragrances on their skin, but in exchange you can enjoy cheap perfumes . In addition, the design of our bottles is minimalist and simple, and we use the same design for all our creations. Of course, we use high-quality materials that do not compromise the condition of our fragrances, so that you can enjoy your DIVAIN perfume for a long time. Price comparison between the original perfume and our equivalent Creed's Aventus (DIVAIN-228) Aventus Creed is a masculine perfume with a fruity chypre essence, highly sought after by the most ardent lovers of luxury perfumes. Not in vain, it is one of the most expensive creations on the market , with a retail price of around €300 for its 100 ml bottle in its original version. At DIVAIN we offer you an equivalent version of the same format for the modest price of €19.95 . Take a look at the opinions of our customers on the Creed Aventus page (DIVAIN 228) and you will be able to see the great similarity with the original formula. Bois d'Argent by Dior (DIVAIN-593) This is one of Dior's most exclusive perfume creations; Bois d'Argent is a perfume made for lovers of luxury and sophistication, which, as expected, is sold at a rather prohibitive price: nothing more and nothing less than €120 for a 40 ml bottle. A creation that you can also find in the DIVAIN store under the number DIVAIN-593 Bois d'Argent de Dior for a price of €19.95 for a 100 ml bottle. Black Orchid (DIVAIN-542) This creation does not skimp on high-quality ingredients, such as black orchid or truffle , to offer a very unique fragrance that exudes glamour and sophistication from all four sides. But don't be mistaken, you don't need to spend €120 on a 100 ml perfume to enjoy its aroma; at DIVAIN you can find the equivalent Black Orchid in the same format for a price of €19.95. Myrrh & Tonka (DIVAIN-253) We love these fragrances because they mix oriental airs with the cosmopolitan side of London life. Myrrh & Tonka is a perfume with ethnicity and presence, with a warm atmosphere that makes it the ideal choice for both men and women. If you're wondering how much this mystical perfume costs, its original version in 100 ml format is priced at €157 , while our equivalent version of Myrrh & Tonka can be yours for €19.95. Bloom by Gucci (DIVAIN-572) A deeply floral and ravishingly feminine perfume. This particular fragrance uses an exclusive ingredient: piscuala , a flower never before used in perfumery. That is why we are looking at one of Gucci's most expensive creations, priced at €137 for a 100 ml bottle. Of course, at DIVAIN this charming fragrance can be yours for much less. Specifically, the equivalent Bloom by Gucci is priced at €18.95 for a 100 ml bottle. Lancôme Idôle (DIVAIN-601) A perfume recognizable from its advertisements with Zendaya, the young Hollywood actress of the moment. A very feminine fragrance, with floral and citrus touches, and a musky base with a dominant vanilla capable of dazzling anyone. The original perfume is priced at around €80 for a 100 ml bottle. The equivalent version of DIVAIN by Idôle is priced at €18.95 , as well as being one of our store's bestsellers due to its great similarity to the original version.

How to use eau de toilette?

Eau de Toilette is one of the most widely used formulas in the world of perfumery, possibly after Eau de Parfum. Its concentration of aromatic essence is lower, which makes its fragrance lighter and more subtle. However, we must not make the mistake of thinking that Eau de Toilette is a second-rate product, since due to its characteristics, it can be very useful for specific uses. In this post on our blog we will tell you how to use an Eau de Toilette correctly and what occasions it best matches with. Let's get started! What is an eau de toilette perfume? If we see a perfume with an 'Eau de Toilette' (EDT) formula, it means that it has a concentration of perfume essence from 8% to 15% , with 10% being the usual average that these types of fragrances usually contain. When compared to the other major formula used in perfumery, the 'Eau de Parfum' (EDP) with 16%-18% perfume essence, we see that in the case of the EDT it is lower, and therefore, its intensity, fixation and duration is also more limited. How to use a correctly eau de toilette ? Here are some tips to help you use your Eau de Toilette correctly and make the most of its duration: Focus on key body areas This is undoubtedly the quintessential tip for setting an EDT on our skin, since there are certain strategic areas of our body that due to the presence of fat, moisture and blood circulation, the fragrance stays fixed more easily, increasing the duration of the same. These areas are the neckline, the nape of the neck, the lumbar area, the wrists, the inner area of ​​the knees and elbows, the hairline, the collarbone and behind the ears. Perfume in layers The ideal is to apply a first layer after showering , when our pores are open and can better absorb the scent just before getting dressed. Once dressed, we can vaporize in a cloud of fragrance so that it stays gently applied to our clothes. But be careful: be careful with light-colored clothes! Applying a perfume or fragrance of any kind to light-colored or delicate clothes (even if we do it too close) can damage and/or stain them. Reapply during the day When we use an EDT in our daily life, we should not be afraid to reuse it throughout the day. Its formula is much lighter than that of a perfume, so it is difficult to overuse it. Of course, remember that you already have some layers of fragrance on your skin, so reapplications should be much more frequent. lighter and more subtle . The ideal is to create a cloud of fragrance and pass through it to reactivate the aroma of our Eau de Toilette at any time of the day. Use the eau de toilette bath line Not all EDT products have bath lines, but in some cases it is possible to find this type of by-products. Use Scented soaps with the fragrance of EDT that we are going to apply, will help us to better fix the aroma on our skin and make it last longer. What is an eau de toilette used for? Although Eau de Parfum is usually a preferred option for most users, due to its longer duration and greater intensity, Eau de Toilette can be very useful in some specific cases. For example, if we want Use a different fragrance for morning, afternoon or evening . As it is a subtle formula, its scent will fade after 3-4 hours of application. After this time, you can re-perfume yourself with a different EDT, something that would not be possible if you had previously applied an Eau de Parfum, as both fragrances would mix together. Eau de Toilette is also a very suitable type of fragrance for people looking for light aromas, for everyday use, or for example, to go to the gym or play sports, because its composition is much fresher and more vaporous. The hottest months They are also an ideal time to use an Eau de Toilette, especially if we tend to sweat a lot, as this type of fragrance will refresh us throughout the day.

What lasts longer, eau de parfum or eau de toilette?

Which type of fragrance lasts longer, EDP or EDT ? Is it worth paying more for an Eau de Parfum? In this post we will tell you how long each formula lasts, and why we think the Eau de Parfum is the best option and investment in most cases. What lasts longer, eau de parfum or eau de toilette? Before going into the details of which type of fragrance (EDT or EDP) lasts longer, it is worth stopping to analyze how these types of products are made to understand the differences in terms of fixation and intensity. The essence of perfume is the aroma itself of the product in its maximum concentration. Depending on the percentage of presence of pure essence in proportion to the rest of the ingredients within a commercial fragrance, it is considered 'Eau de parfum' or 'Eau de toilette'. The higher the concentration of perfume essence, the greater the intensity, durability and fixation . Thus, Eau de Parfum has a concentration of between 16% and 18% pure essence, mixed with other parts of water and alcohol. The duration of 'eau de parfum' fragrances ranges from 6 to 10 hours, although the scent of the base accord often remains impregnated in the textile for several days. On the other hand, we have Eau de Toilette, which have a lower concentration of perfume essence, between 8% and 15% , and last around 3-5 hours . The intensity is lower and its sensation is fresher and lighter. But these types of concentrations do not only exist in the world of perfumery, since at both extremes we find formulas with different proportions. At the most intense end we have perfume ( Parfum ), with a concentration of 20% to 30%, and a duration of a minimum of 12 hours, but can reach 24 hours. We also have a much lighter product than Eau de Toilette, called 'Eau de Cologne', with a perfume concentration between 2% and 4% and a duration of about 2 hours. These types of fragrances, also called 'colognes', are known for having one of the lowest concentrations of essential oils on the market. Why is Eau de Parfum better? Eau de Parfum is undoubtedly the perfume formula par excellence , as its intensity is able to last for most of the day, without being as intense as the pure essence of the perfume. Although it is more expensive than Eau de Toilette, it lasts longer and therefore, it is not necessary to reapply the product throughout the day for the scent to remain on our skin. However, if you like to change fragrances depending on the time of day, using multiple Eau de Toilettes is probably a better option for you, as they last less and so does the price you will pay for each fragrance.

Qué diferencia hay entre eau de parfum y eau de toilette
Dec 02, 2022Lucía Poyo Vallina
What is the difference between eau de parfum and eau de toilette?

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between eau de parfum and eau de toilette? It's clear that the perfume is usually longer lasting or more intense than the toilette version. However, do you know where exactly the line is between one formula and the other? And above all, what are their characteristics and uses so you can choose the one that best suits you? We'll tell you below! What is an eau de parfum? Although we generally use the word 'perfume' as a synonym for what we buy on the market as eau de parfum (perfume water), the truth is that the perfume itself is the maximum essence of the fragrance (around 20-30%). A highly concentrated aroma that is not usually marketed so frequently, but is diluted in lower concentrations . In the case of the classic 'Eau de Parfum' that we usually buy in perfumeries, this concentration is between 16 and 18% , combined with an ethyl alcohol between 80º and 89º. Eau de parfums tend to last for a long time, lasting between 6 and 8 hours. They adhere easily to the skin and have quite intense aromas. Some well-known examples of Eau de Parfums are Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent , Terre by Hermès or J'adore Dior. Compared to perfume essence, the duration of the latter is longer, but its intensity is also considerably increased. Because of this, it is not a concentration that is often used in the world of commercial perfumery. What is an eau de toilette? In the case of Eau de toilette (bath water), the concentration of the perfume is low and is between 8% and 15% , combined with ethyl alcohol of 90 to 96º. The duration of this type of fragrance is more limited, ranging from 3 to 4 hours , depending on the quality of the product. Normally, it is a type of concentration that requires reapplication throughout the day, recommended for users who prefer a fresh and light fragrance. The great advantage of 'eau de toilette' is that due to its low concentration of perfume essence, the price is cheaper , so if we like to change fragrance throughout the day, it is a very good alternative due to its short duration and the lower investment it requires. Most major brands usually have 'Eau de Toilette' fragrance options, such as Bloom Eau de Toilette by Gucci , Burberry Her EDT by Burberry or Gentleman EDT Intense by Givenchy . Difference between Eau de Parfum and Eau de Toilette The big difference between an Eau de Parfum and an Eau de Toilette is precisely the difference in perfume concentration from one type of fragrance to another. As we have already mentioned, the Eau de Parfum has a concentration that ranges between 16% and 18% of essence, while the Eau de Toilette is between 8% and 15%. This difference has an impact on both the fragrance's durability and level of fixation , as well as the final price we pay for the product; while the Eau de Parfum has a higher level of fixation, more intensity, durability and therefore, a higher price, the Eau de Toilette is lighter and lasts less, also reducing its purchase price. Which is better: eau de parfum or eau de toilette? A difficult question to answer, as the answer will depend on each person's taste and also on the product and the quality of the manufacturer. There are some eau de toilettes that are better quality than some eau de parfums. On the other hand, not everyone likes the intensity of perfumes and prefers fresher fragrances that are less intoxicating. Generally speaking, eau de parfum is usually considered the highest quality option, as its concentration of essence is higher and therefore, so is its value and market price. However, you should not make the mistake of believing that an eau de toilette is a second-rate product. Even the big fashion brands have versions of their perfumes in 'eau de toilette', which means that it is a cheaper product and for other types of use or preferences, but not necessarily worse than the rest of the options.

Cuáles son los perfumes que más duran
Nov 29, 2022Lucía Poyo Vallina
Which perfumes last the longest?

If you like perfumes that leave an aromatic trail throughout the day, in this list you will find a selection of the fragrances with the best hold and durability on the market. As a general rule, those perfumes that have aromas with low volatility ingredients in their composition , achieve a much slower evaporation and therefore, better retention of the fragrance on our skin. This is the case of musks, resins, woods, balsams and spices such as vanilla, which are often used in base notes due to their depth and ability to fix the aroma for longer. Below we tell you which perfumes last the longest. Take note! 8 perfumes that last all day Oud Wood (DIVAIN-305) Oud Wood equivalent is a masculine perfume that, from its top note, bets on high-retention ingredients , such as oud wood. Its base note also uses other very powerful essences such as vanilla, with its aromatic and sweet presence , or amber, a resinous substance with a high concentration of pheromones due to its animal origin. L'Interdit by Givenchy (DIVAIN-591) On this occasion we have before us a perfume for women, with a strong, very floral intensity and oriental touches, which materializes in a quite intense aroma with a high fixation. As a general rule, floral aromas are not excessively strong or long-lasting, as they are highly volatile essences . However, if they are combined with aromas such as patchouli or vanilla, they can enhance their aroma and last longer. Another of the key elements of L'Interdit by Givenchy similar, which makes it one of the perfumes that last longer, is ambroxan , a molecule derived from ambergris that acts as a fixative for the perfume, increasing its durability throughout the day. Clinique Aromatics Elixir (DIVAIN-112) Our equivalent of Aromatics Elixir by Clinique is a complex feminine perfume, with a multitude of contrasts and an explosive combination of mainly floral ingredients, such as rose, lily, ylang ylang or orange blossom. However, Clinique has opted for an olfactory composition with a 'crescendo' tendency , which increases in intensity as we advance along its olfactory path, until reaching the base chord. It is in this last stage where we find elements such as musk, sandalwood and vetiver, which act as fixatives and turn the fragrance into a perfume of quite strong and deep intensity. DIVAIN-608 Without a doubt, the simplest olfactory composition on this list; DIVAIN-608 opts for a minimalist perfume , with three dominant ingredients, but with a very high intensity. These three main notes are rose, jasmine and musk . As we already know, musk is a component that manages to fix the aroma for much longer, in addition to providing a background that provides a 'clean' sensation. Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent (DIVAIN-167) Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent equivalent is a deep and dark perfume , with an intensity and character not suitable for all types of women; this fragrance has the ability to intoxicate with its aroma and is also one of the longest lasting. In this case, its deepest notes are found in the base accord, with three ingredients with low volatility and a great capacity to fix the aroma such as vanilla , patchouli and cedar. Another ingredient that draws attention, also for its ability to add body to the perfume, is coffee, present in the heart accord. Life is Beautiful by Lancôme (DIVAIN-093) A perfume that has been on the market for 10 years and continues to reap great success among its most ardent fans, La Vie à Bella by Lancôme exudes enthusiasm, positivity and a desire to live life to the fullest. It is very sweet in its top and middle notes, with aromas of blackcurrant, pear, orange blossom, iris and jasmine. However, the base notes do not skimp on deep aromas such as vanilla or patchouli. That is why it is a perfume with a long duration and strong intensity , ideal for winter months or for long days. Rush by Gucci (DIVAIN-066) Lovers of fruity and fresh perfumes will be delighted with the inspiration of Rush by Gucci ; a fragrance with body, intensity, sweetness and above all, with a long duration that will last throughout the day. The key elements that allow this perfume to have a greater fixation are vetiver, a plant whose oil manages to enhance the aroma of the rest of the olfactory notes, and vanilla, a classic element in the creation of fragrances for women due to its natural sweetness and its capacity to fix the aroma. Extreme Black (DIVAIN-295) We close this selection of the longest lasting perfumes with a masculine fragrance. A creation inspired by Noir Extrême , with notes of wood and oriental contrasts that give the perfume body and a great capacity for olfactory retention. The secret of its formula is the use of resins , such as amber and mastic, combined with woody and aromatic notes such as vanilla or sandalwood that maximize its durability.

Which perfumes last the longest?

If you like perfumes that leave an aromatic trail throughout the day, in this list you will find a selection of the fragrances with the best hold and durability on the market. As a general rule, those perfumes that have aromas with low volatility ingredients in their composition , achieve a much slower evaporation and therefore, better retention of the fragrance on our skin. This is the case of musks, resins, woods, balsams and spices such as vanilla, which are often used in base notes due to their depth and ability to fix the aroma for longer. Below we tell you which perfumes last the longest. Take note! 8 perfumes that last all day Oud Wood (DIVAIN-305) Oud Wood equivalent is a masculine perfume that, from its top note, bets on high-retention ingredients , such as oud wood.

L'Interdit by Givenchy (DIVAIN-591) On this occasion we have before us a perfume for women, with a strong, very floral intensity and oriental touches, which materializes in a quite intense aroma with a high fixation.

Then you have come to the right post, as we bring you a selection of the 8 perfumes for women that leave a mark and conquer noses according to Divain. Women's colognes that leave a mark, which is the best? As each person is a world, while some prefer subtle aromas that provide freshness and delicacy, others prefer a powerful perfume, with character and personality. Your perfume should be a reflection of who you are, which is why there are so many options on the market that aim to adapt to the different needs and tastes of consumers. In this blog post, we bring you a selection of the equivalent feminine perfumes that manage to leave a mark, transmit confidence and represent who you are: a modern and empowered woman of the 21st century. Analysis of women's fragrances that leave a mark Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent (DIVAIN-167) A vanilla fragrance with oriental and coffee notes, Black Opium by YSL has been carefully conceived for the modern, daring and sensual woman who wants to make her mark. The top note is spicy, bold but also delicate, with a floral jasmine dominance. We also find notes of pink pepper that give it that initial explosiveness so characteristic of this perfume. The heart continues with bitter almond, liquorice and coffee. Finally, in the base of the perfume we will find a deep and long-lasting accord that will leave a trail of cedar, patchouli, cashmere wood and of course, the main ingredient: vanilla. This is Her by Zadig & Voltaire (DIVAIN-564) Rebellious and irreverent, this perfume is designed for daring, different women who are not afraid of freedom and who are always looking for new experiences and emotions. It is intense and quite strong, so we assure you that you will not go unnoticed if you wear this explosive fragrance. If you're wondering what This is Her by Zadig & Voltaire smells like, we'll tell you that the overall sensation it gives us is sweetness, creaminess and oriental nuances. The top notes are unmistakable with jasmine sambac, pink pepper and silk tree blossom. The heart accord is incredibly sweet, thanks to chestnut, whipped cream and vanilla. All these notes dance on an intense and spicy mantle of sandalwood and cashmere wood. L'Interdit by Givenchy (DIVAIN-591) This is a fragrance with a history, as it was Audrey Hepburn herself who created its first version in 1957. In 2018, Givenchy launched a second version, modernized and with more modern nuances, conceived for the woman of this century. The aromatic play of our imitation of L'Interdit by Givenchy moves between floral notes, with the depth of wood. It is a fragrance with a marked nuance, making it ideal for elegant women with personality. It has a fairly strong intensity, although being a very well-balanced aroma, it is well suited for daily use and all types of occasions. Yes I Am by Cacharel (DIVAIN-578) A perfume designed to dress today's woman; empowered and with clear ideas. Yes I Am equivalent is a declaration of intentions, and unfolds these principles through olfactory notes with powerful and unexpected contrasts. It combines aromas with great delicacy with the aim of offering a powerful and very unique olfactory sensation, but without leaving aside balance, with notes such as raspberry, lemon, bergamot, jasmine, milk, caramel or licorice. Pure Musc by Narciso Rodriguez (DIVAIN-599) Pure Musc by Narciso Rodríguez is the ideal perfume for those women who are looking for a fragrance with a certain intensity, but that provides a sensation of freshness and 'smells clean'. The combination of aromatic notes in this perfume is a bit curious, but it works effectively as it manages to provide a pleasant, fresh smell, but with personality. Musk is undoubtedly the most characteristic ingredient of the perfume, and the one responsible for giving it that pleasant clean smell. It is combined with floral notes in its heart chord, and with deep and spicy notes thanks to cashmere wood. This is a fragrance that seems to have been specially designed for those simple and practical women, who are looking for a versatile perfume that adapts well to any time of day and season, but who want to leave a mark thanks to its olfactory trail. Miss Dior by Dior (DIVAIN-582) Another perfume for women looking to make a statement is this deeply floral, delicate and extremely feminine fragrance. Its top note is citrusy and fresh, and is combined with other more floral notes in its second aromatic accord, to give way to a warm and fresh base with patchouli and musk as the main protagonists. Our Miss Dior equivalent is one of the feminine classics and one of the Best Sellers for its versatility and ability to adapt to any type of situation. Black Orchid (DIVAIN-542) A complex, multi-layered fragrance with a truly deep undertone. Black Orchid brings endless contrasts, surprising and totally irreverent, with a strong intensity that makes it perfect for accompanying us to our most exclusive evening events. This is an olfactory composition that aims to convey exclusivity, sophistication and a lot of class. Inspired by one of the most unique, appreciated and difficult to find ingredients: the black orchid. Gucci Flora (DIVAIN-171) As its name suggests, 'Flora' is the quintessential floral fragrance from Gucci. We could only expect an olfactory composition full of spring aromas of flowering fruit trees, such as peony, rose or osmanthus. All of this is accompanied by fruity notes, such as mandarin, with other warmer notes such as sandalwood or patchouli. Imitation Gucci Flora is a perfume with a high intensity, but with a very pleasant aroma that makes it a good choice if we are looking for a fragrance for everyday use. The best women's perfume that leaves a mark according to DIVAIN Although each of these perfumes has its own charms and strengths, if we had to name one of these candidates as the best feminine perfume that leaves a mark, it would undoubtedly be Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent (DIVAIN-167). A young, striking fragrance with an unmistakable aroma that has managed to conquer noses wherever it goes.

Textile fragrances and air fresheners: discover the best aromas for your home

Smell is the sense most closely linked to memory; we are able to remember up to 35% of the smells we perceive, but only 5% of what we see. In fact, aromas have the incredible power to make us remember moments, scenes and emotions from long ago, simply because we associate them with that particular smell. That's why a personal and well-balanced aroma is an ideal complement to make our home a warmer and more pleasant place. Visit our collection of home fragrances and discover unique aromas to give personality to your favorite corners. What are textile fragrances? Textile fragrances are scented products that neutralise odours, provide freshness and add a specific aroma to a textile surface. Just like a personal perfume, which scents our skin, textile fragrances add scent to textile fibres and help this scent spread around them. As a general rule, textile fragrances tend to be quite watery aromas, very easy to spread over any surface. In this way, we can scent the textiles of bedding , sofa covers, carpets or pillows; but also our clothes and accessories. This helps prevent bad smells from being trapped on the surface and thus maintain the feeling of freshness and clean clothes for longer. Nowadays, the range of textile fragrances that we have at our disposal is very wide, and allows us to choose between different types of sensations and aromas to provide us with what we are looking for: freshness, relaxation, warmth, improved rest, etc. How to use a textile fragrance? We can scent practically any type of fabric as long as we do so at a minimum distance of 30 cm , to avoid wetting the surface. Here are some tips for scenting clothes stored in a closet or drawer: First, perfume the inside of drawers or cupboards . You should empty them first. Let them dry before putting the clothes in. We will spray our textile fragrance of choice on top of the pieces of clothing, evenly and at a minimum distance of 30 cm. Leather can only be scented from the inside. A very useful trick is to moisten the surface with water and a little textile fragrance, always with great caution as this fabric can dry out. You can also scent your accessories , such as wallets, bags, shoes or winter hats. The best textile fragrances Feeling textile fragrance Because there is nothing more pleasant than the freshness of natural aromas, with this textile fragrance you can scent your clothes and home textiles with a combination of marine notes, with a scented and characterful base. With the Feeling textile fragrance , you will make your clothes smell clean for longer, as if they were freshly taken out of the washing machine . The top notes are mandarin, sea salt and ginger. The heart is dominated by sap. The base leaves an intense trace of amber and sandalwood. Pleasure textile fragrance Pleasure is a fresh, yet sweet textile fragrance , inspired by the warmth and sweetness of the home, but without forgetting the more elegant side. The sensation is delicate and soft, with floral, green and aromatic touches. The top notes are orange blossom and neroli. The heart is dominated by iris. In the base, we have notes of moss, tonka bean and vanilla. Hope textile fragrance A fresh textile fragrance with a very explosive top note, which mixes citrus notes of bergamot, heliotrope and violet. In the heart we find floral notes of lilac and Ylang Ylang. The base of the Hope textile fragrance gives us a lot of depth and body thanks to vanilla, white moss and amber. What is a home fragrance or air freshener? Air fresheners help to scent any room or physical space, whether it is the interior of a car, a room in a house or a business; choosing an air freshener that is suitable for the specific place you are going to scent is key. How do you use an air freshener? We can find air fresheners in a wide range of formats: spray, oil, diffuser, gel, and even incense can be an excellent air freshener.

The natural aroma of the Palo Santo air freshener mixes fresh notes such as mandarin, lemon or eucalyptus, with other more aromatic notes such as Atlas cedar, patchouli, sandalwood, or benzoin, resulting in a unique and very warm home fragrance.

Nowadays, the range of textile fragrances that we have at our disposal is very wide, and allows us to choose between different types of sensations and aromas to provide us with what we are looking for: freshness, relaxation, warmth, improved rest, etc. How to use a textile fragrance? We can scent practically any type of fabric as long as we do so at a minimum distance of 30 cm , to avoid wetting the surface. Here are some tips for scenting clothes stored in a closet or drawer: First, perfume the inside of drawers or cupboards . You should empty them first. Let them dry before putting the clothes in. We will spray our textile fragrance of choice on top of the pieces of clothing, evenly and at a minimum distance of 30 cm. Leather can only be scented from the inside. A very useful trick is to moisten the surface with water and a little textile fragrance, always with great caution as this fabric can dry out. You can also scent your accessories , such as wallets, bags, shoes or winter hats. The best textile fragrances Feeling textile fragrance Because there is nothing more pleasant than the freshness of natural aromas, with this textile fragrance you can scent your clothes and home textiles with a combination of marine notes, with a scented and characterful base. With the Feeling textile fragrance , you will make your clothes smell clean for longer, as if they were freshly taken out of the washing machine . The top notes are mandarin, sea salt and ginger. The heart is dominated by sap. The base leaves an intense trace of amber and sandalwood. Pleasure textile fragrance Pleasure is a fresh, yet sweet textile fragrance , inspired by the warmth and sweetness of the home, but without forgetting the more elegant side. The sensation is delicate and soft, with floral, green and aromatic touches. The top notes are orange blossom and neroli. The heart is dominated by iris. In the base, we have notes of moss, tonka bean and vanilla. Hope textile fragrance A fresh textile fragrance with a very explosive top note, which mixes citrus notes of bergamot, heliotrope and violet. In the heart we find floral notes of lilac and Ylang Ylang. The base of the Hope textile fragrance gives us a lot of depth and body thanks to vanilla, white moss and amber. What is a home fragrance or air freshener? Air fresheners help to scent any room or physical space, whether it is the interior of a car, a room in a house or a business; choosing an air freshener that is suitable for the specific place you are going to scent is key. How do you use an air freshener? We can find air fresheners in a wide range of formats: spray, oil, diffuser, gel, and even incense can be an excellent air freshener. The best air fresheners for your home Palo Santo Inspired by the classic palo santo, a wood that has been used for centuries as an air freshener in addition to other medicinal uses, at Divain we have created a home fragrance using the essence of this sacred tree so that you can bring positive energy to your home.

By the way! Don't miss our irresistible fragrances for your home, discover DIVAIN's HOME collection now ! 1. Homemade air freshener with fabric softener Do you use fabric softener when washing your clothes? Well, you already have the basic ingredient for a super home air freshener that will fill your entire house with the smell of clean clothes. To do this, you will need to take an empty spray bottle. Then fill half of it with water and the other half with your favourite fabric softener. And that's it! You now have a super home air freshener in spray format to spray any surface in your home. You can use it on your sofa, cushions, in your wardrobe, on towels, on your bed and any textile surface in your home. The scent will permeate all rooms with a totally irresistible smell of clean clothes. 2. Spray air freshener with essential oils If you want to avoid artificial chemicals, essential oils are an ideal alternative. They are usually sold in small jars, so a few drops dissolved in water can provide a fairly powerful scent. There are all kinds you can imagine, with a multitude of different scents: rose, eucalyptus, patchouli, vanilla... Simply fill a spray bottle with water and add a few drops of your favorite essential oil. If you use a humidifier at home, you can add a few drops of essential oil mixed with water to evenly distribute the scent throughout the room. 3. Scented gelatin Although nowadays it is possible to find jars of aromatic jelly in any supermarket, you should know that you can also create your own fully customized air freshener, and more importantly, by reusing containers that you are going to throw away. In addition, the result is usually quite aesthetic, so it can be an object with a double function: to decorate and to provide a nice smell to our home. To create your own aromatic gelatin you will need: a clean, empty glass jar, food coloring, neutral gelatin, salt and the essential oil of your choice. The first thing to do is boil the gelatin in hot water, following the instructions on the package. Then, add our essential oil (the more it is, the more intense it is) along with the colouring. Stir everything well, pour it into the jar, let it cool and voila, we will have our fragrant gelatin! 4. Lavender sachets to scent closets and drawers Do you have scraps of fabric or old clothes and don't know what to do with them? Then all you need is an aromatic plant such as lavender or eucalyptus to create a simple and effective air freshener, ideal for closets, drawers and closed spaces. 5. Homemade air freshener based on baking soda To make this air freshener you only need baking soda, an essential oil or fabric softener of your choice and a spray bottle. The procedure is as follows: Heat water until boiling (50 ml). Add the essential oil (a splash) or the fabric softener (at least 50 ml). Add 15 gr of common bicarbonate. Once everything is well mixed in the bottle, you will have your homemade baking soda-based air freshener ready to be sprayed. 6. Use soap residue as an air freshener You can also create fabulous scented bags with leftover soap bars for very little money. The process for making them has no major secret: make small cloth bags with leftover clothing scraps and fill them with leftover soap you have at home. As we have already mentioned with the bags of aromatic plants, this type of air freshener is ideal for placing inside wardrobes and drawers so that our clothes always retain a delicious, fresh and clean aroma. 7. Antibacterial aromatization for the kitchen How could we forget the kitchen? One of the rooms that is most exposed to aggressive odors, as it is common to cook with oils and strong aromas in it. The ideal thing in this case is to use natural products that do not pose any kind of danger to our health. Fortunately, many foods have antibacterial properties, as well as eliminating odours and providing a fresh aroma in the room. To create our own antibacterial air freshener for the kitchen we will need an orange or lemon, a cinnamon stick, water, sugar and white vinegar. The process is as follows: boil half a litre of water with cinnamon, add the orange or lemon peel and a few tablespoons of sugar. Then mix it with the vinegar and let it cool, then store it in your spray bottle. 8. Spices for exotic aromas in the home If you want your home to transport you to some of the most exotic places in the world, there's nothing like creating your own air fresheners based on aromatic spices such as cloves , ginger or allspice. You just have to infuse them in hot water and then put the liquid in a spray bottle to spread it throughout your house. 9. Aromatic plants for a natural and fresh aroma It is not necessary to create a product to make our home smell clean and fresh. If we want to achieve a permanent aroma without having to constantly spray surfaces, we can opt for aromatic plants. Some of our favorites to add a natural smell to our home are basil, mint, rosemary or thyme.
