What Is Concentrated Perfume Oil (CPO)? CPO vs Spray Perfume Guide

Concentrated Perfume Oil (CPO) คืออะไร ต่างจากน้ำหอมสเปรย์ยังไง

Ever seen a tiny bottle of perfume without a spray cap but with incredibly rich scent? That's Concentrated Perfume Oil (CPO) — the traditional fragrance format used for centuries in the Middle East.

What Is CPO?

Concentrated Perfume Oil is pure fragrance oil without alcohol. With 15-40% fragrance concentration (vs 15-20% EDP, 5-15% EDT), CPO comes in small 5-15ml bottles and is applied directly to skin.

CPO vs Spray Perfume

Concentration

CPO is more concentrated than EDP/EDT. Average longevity: CPO 8-12 hours vs EDP 6-8 hours.

Application

Spray diffuses in air; CPO applies directly to pulse points for an intimate, personal scent.

Skin-Friendly

No alcohol means CPO is gentler on sensitive or dry skin.

CPO History

Concentrated Perfume Oil is the oldest form of fragrance — predating spray perfumes by thousands of years. In the Middle East, CPO (called Attar/Ittar) remains the primary fragrance format. Ajmal was founded in 1951 as an attar trader before expanding to Dubai, so the Thai Heritage CPO Collection is a return to the brand's roots.
