In the world of personal fragrance, finding that perfect scent can feel like a quest. We all want to leave a pleasant impression, a subtle aura that draws people in, rather than an olfactory assault that pushes them away. The key lies in understanding the science behind fragrance, particularly how concentration, natural ingredients, and thoughtful formulation contribute to a lasting, yet subtle, perfume experience. RXLA Perfumes has mastered this delicate balance, offering scents that are both captivating and understated. Understanding Fragrance Concentration: The Key to Subtlety When we talk about perfume, the terms Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette, and Cologne all refer to different concentrations of aromatic compounds (oils) dissolved in alcohol and water. Eau de Parfum (EDP) generally contains a higher concentration of these oils, typically between 15-20%. This higher concentration means that the scent has the potential to last longer on the skin. However, the art of creating a subtle perfume isn't just about the percentage of oil; it's about the *quality* and *blend* of those oils. RXLA Perfumes utilizes high-quality fragrance oils, ensuring that even their Eau de Parfum concentrations provide a refined and sophisticated scent profile. This means you get the longevity you desire without the overwhelming projection that can sometimes accompany stronger concentrations. The goal is a scent that is discovered, not announced. The Power of Natural Oils in Long-Lasting, Light Fragrance Natural oils, derived from flowers, fruits, woods, and spices, are the heart of many exquisite perfumes. They not only contribute to a richer, more complex aroma but can also influence how a fragrance interacts with your skin and how long it lasts. Unlike synthetic fragrances, natural oils often have a more nuanced evaporation rate, meaning they can develop and evolve over time, providing a more enduring olfactory experience. Furthermore, natural ingredients tend to blend more harmoniously with one's natural body chemistry, resulting in a scent that feels more personalized and less artificial. Consider the vibrant, tropical notes of Bora Bora: Eau De Parfum. Its blend of pineapple, passion fruit, mango, and kiwi evokes a carefree beach getaway. The natural fruit essences create a bright and fruity aroma that is undeniably uplifting, yet the Eau de Parfum concentration ensures this joyous scent lingers pleasantly without being overbearing. For those who prefer a scent that is as dynamic and multifaceted as they are, Everything: Eau De Parfum offers a bold, versatile, and eclectic vibe. This layered, multi-dimensional scent feels adventurous and unique. Its blend of freshness, fruitiness, and depth allows it to be both vibrant and balanced, exuding confidence and creativity with a subtlety that makes it perfect for everyday wear. The careful selection of natural and high-quality synthetic components ensures a complex aroma that unfolds beautifully. And for a scent that speaks of grounded confidence and refined sophistication, Fresh Fig: Eau De Parfum is an excellent choice. With its earthy and masculine undertones, complemented by the freshness of lemon, it evokes a sense of nature and strength. This fragrance is perfect for those who appreciate complex, natural fragrances that offer an understated elegance. The natural essence of fig provides a unique, slightly sweet, and woody character that is both grounding and refined, ensuring a lasting impression without being overpowering. Why Subtle Perfumes Last Longer: The Non-Greasy Scent Secret A common misconception is that a stronger scent projection equals a longer-lasting perfume. In reality, subtlety often leads to greater longevity. High-quality perfumes, especially those formulated with natural oils and carefully balanced concentrations like RXLA's Eau de Parfums, tend to have a more gradual evaporation process. This means the scent doesn't disappear quickly but rather evolves throughout the day, offering a consistent and pleasant aroma. Another factor contributing to a pleasant, lasting scent is avoiding a greasy feel. High-quality perfume formulations aim for a light, non-greasy application. When perfumes are properly formulated, they absorb into the skin efficiently, leaving behind only the fragrance, not an oily residue. This allows the scent to interact naturally with your skin's chemistry, enhancing its longevity and creating a personal aura rather than a heavy cloud. This is crucial for achieving that sought-after subtle perfume effect. The science of smelling good without overpowering is an art, and RXLA Perfumes has certainly perfected it, offering a range of light fragrance options that deliver on both subtlety and staying power.

Why We’re Moving to Atlanta A New Chapter, The Same Heart If you’ve followed RXLA from the beginning — whether you discovered us at Melrose Trading Post, walked into our LA studio, or found your favorite candle on Instagram — you’ve been part of something incredibly personal. This brand was never just about scents. It was about moments. Memories. A way to bring calm, warmth, and intention into everyday life. And now, we’re stepping into our next chapter — one that brings big change, but holds true to everything we’ve always believed in. RXLA is moving to Atlanta. This wasn’t an easy decision. LA gave us our start. It’s where we poured our first batches of wax, hand-applied our first labels, and heard first-hand what scents made you feel at home. It’s the city that believed in us when all we had were folding tables, a spark of vision, and long market days. But like many small, independent brands, we’ve had to stay scrappy — balancing rising overhead, supply costs, and the need to protect what matters most: the quality of our product and the soul of our brand. We’ve always promised you luxury without the markup. Clean, intentional ingredients. Small-batch production. Candles that are made to burn beautifully, smell incredible, and never feel mass-produced. And we’re not willing to compromise that. Moving to Atlanta allows us to stay true to that promise. Lower overhead means we can continue crafting in small batches, sourcing high-quality materials, and avoiding the price hikes we’ve worked so hard to resist. But even more importantly — this move is personal. Jocelyn, one half of our founding sister duo, made the move to Atlanta so her young son could spend precious time with his aging grandparents. As mothers, daughters, and family-first women, it was a decision rooted in love — the same kind of love we pour into every RX product. This move isn’t about starting over. It’s about expanding the vision. Honoring our roots while building what’s next. You’ll still find the same scents you’ve fallen in love with. The same quality. The same handmade care. And now, you’ll find us popping up in Atlanta, bringing RXLA to new homes, new spaces, and new hearts — while continuing to ship nationwide. To our LA community: thank you. You built this with us.To our ATL community: we can’t wait to meet you. This is not goodbye — it’s just a new address. With gratitude,Jen & JocelynRXLA Founders
