32 Creative Ways to Use Your Alkemia Perfume Extraits

The concentrated extrait formulation of our perfumes makes them compact with a lighter carbon footprint, easier to use than conventional perfumes, and bestows lots of opportunity for creative versatility. These are also great ways to surround yourself with your signature scent, bring the scents of nature indoors with scents like Vert sur le Vert, or practice sustainability by using up stray samples, extra alchemies, perfumes that didn't quite work out on the skin, or perfumes that are being retired from your personal rotation.
