I have sensitive skin.
Alcohol is the single biggest reason for skin irritation. Tapputi's perfume oils contain 0% alcohol.
I feel it is a bit pricey.
These are 100% pure Egyptian Perfume Oils encased in exquisite glass vintage bottles. Not fleeting scents and a bottle you will throw away when it's empty. It’s an investment in lasting beauty and identity. It's worth it.
How long does it last on your skin?
It depends from person to person. What lasts long on one may not last long on another, due to various factors like, skin type, weather, skin chemistry, diet, health, hormones and many other factors. However, 97% of our clients reported that it typically lasts 8–12 hours.
Application is key. Do not rub it in too harshly but apply lightly with fingers on moisturized skin and wait for the dry down.
How long does a bottle last and do you do refills?
A bottle can last 6 - 10 months with daily use. Pure oil means you use far less than spray perfumes. Yes, you can have your bottle refilled at an extra cost. Refer to Terms & Conditions.
Can I layer my Tapputi oils and can I use it with my favorite designer perfumes?
Absolutely! Layering creates your own signature scent. Mix lighter oils (floral/fruity) with deeper ones (woody/amber) for a custom blend or make your own. There are no rules.
The Enigma Discovery Layering Set is perfect for this.
Tapputi's Perfume Oils pair beautifully under or alongside your favorite designer scents — they enhance depth and longevity.
How do I apply Tapputi perfume oil?
Apply a small drop to your pulse points by using your fingers — wrists, neck, behind ears, inner elbows, and even your hairline. A little goes a long way.
What’s the difference between perfume oil and “oil-based” perfume that still contains alcohol?
True perfume oils (like Tapputi) are pure concentration — no alcohol, no water. Oil-based perfumes with alcohol may containt 5 - 15% oil and is then diluted with water, alcohol and fillers, which is the main cause for quick evaporation.
Tapputi's perfume oils bond with your skin and last longer.
