Why We Sell Natural Perfumed Oils Containing No Alcohol or Fillers

At Odds & Ends Islamic Store and One Islamic Store we sell only “Pure Perfumed Oils”, these contain no fillers, no alcohol, just pure perfumed oil containing long lasting fragrance. Many commercial perfumes on the other hand, are a mixture of plant oils, flower oils, animal ingredients, alcohol and water.

Pure perfume oils are far better than perfume with fillers. Most commercially available perfumes contain additives; these fillers are usually alcohol and water. The reason why conventional perfumes have such a strong scent at first but them fade away so quickly is because the scent is mixed with alcohol, which then evaporates. This is not only dismaying, but it's also a waste of money.

Natural perfumed oils have no alcohol, water or other fillers to diminish their strength and original essence. The fragrance is strong, long lasting and of better quality. You need only use a small amount and it will last all day. Commercially available perfumes with alcohol and water evaporate quickly and you need to reapply often through out the day and use much more.

Essential oils can be found in bark, buds, flower petals, leaves, rinds, roots and wood. Plants commonly used for in perfume oils are rose, jasmine, sandalwood, lavender, cinnamon, geranium, patchouli and rosemary. These are all pure all natural oils.

Perfume oils last longer in their bottles as well. Fillers cause fragrances to spoil. Perfumes and colognes last between six to 18 months in their containers, depending on the quality and amounts of oils and fillers. Perfume oils, on the other hand, retain their essential fragrance for years.

If you aren't familiar with the scent of pure natural perfume oil, you may be in for quite a surprise. Unlike conventional perfumes you can instantly tell the difference by the strong scent and the lack of an alcohol smell. Your natural sense of smell can easily show the higher quality.

So next time you want to purchase perfume, choose the all natural oils, at One Islamic Store’s on-line website or the Odds & Ends Islamic Store in Atlanta. You will not be disappointed.

This was a great interview. Here are a couple of highlights:

What makes your website different from other, similar offerings?

We are a small family business, where many other sites are a larger Company. We really care about our customers and are willing to go the extra mile. We offer Clothing and Accessories for the Entire Family. Many sites feature mostly items for Women. We also offer both High Quality Merchandise and Affordable Prices. Many other sites price their merchandise at a much higher cost. We also offer a nice variety of items and sell more than just clothing.

Is starting your own website a large risk?

Yes, starting your own website is a large risk. They are so many websites and big companies out there on the web that the competition is tremendous. But if you want to own and run your own business you have to be willing to take some risks. If you are not willing to take a risk than you may never see your dream of owning your own business become reality. Some risks are worth taking.

In Conclusion - Our Thoughts:

It was really interesting thinking about these questions and coming up with the answers. We hope you enjoy reading the interview and will maybe even learn something from it.

Until next time..............
