FAQ

Our perfume oils are a carefully crafted blend of natural and synthetic ingredients, designed to provide a long-lasting and intimate scent experience. Unlike traditional alcohol-based perfumes, our oils are formulated in an oil base leaving a trail of scent that lingers for hours.

Our perfumes are more concentrated than their alcohol-based counterparts, providing a subtler, yet more powerful effect. The quick evaporation of alcohol often leads to a rapid fade of scent, whereas our oils stay close to the skin, providing a gentler and more personal fragrance experience. The result is a scent that is not overpowering, but instead, whispers a subtle message of refinement and elegance.

Love those designer scents but not the price tag? Our perfume oil impressions are a celebration of some of the most beloved and iconic scents, reimagined for everyone to enjoy. These impressions are inspired by our favourite fragrances, designed to capture their spirit and essence in a new and distinctive form.

Please note, we are not associated with the original designers, fragrance houses, or their manufacturers. Our perfume oil impressions are not intended to be confused with the original scents or to be sold as such. Any reference to the designers or fragrance houses or their brand names or scent names is for comparative and reference purposes only.

Our perfume oils come in 10ml roll-on bottles which can be directly applied to the skin. It is recommended to apply the oils to warm areas and pulse points such as your wrists, inside of your elbows, behind your ears and your neck. It is best to apply them after showering with unscented body wash or soap. We also recommend using unscented moisturizers.

The longevity of our perfume oils can vary depending on several factors such as skin type, environmental conditions, and the specific fragrance notes in the perfume oil. However, our customers typically report that our perfume oils last for several hours.

Proper storage is key to preserving their potency and longevity. We recommend storing your perfume oils in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep the cap tightly closed and store the bottles upright to prevent oxidation, evaporation or spills.

Exposure to air and light, can deteriorate the scent over time.

The shelf life of perfume oils can vary depending on several factors such as the specific ingredients and how they are stored. Most fragrance manufacturers recommend using the product within one to three years. However, the average shelf life of fragrance oil is about one year, and it is dependent on time, temperature, and exposure to air and light. For best results, we suggest using our perfume oils within this timeframe. Always store your perfume oils in a cool, dark place to preserve their quality and scent.

While we cannot accept returns on perfume oils that have been used or tried, we are committed to helping you find fragrances you love. We have this policy to ensure the quality, safety, and integrity of our products for all customers. Here's what we recommend instead:

• Try Before You Buy: We highly recommend purchasing our sample sizes whenever possible. This allows you to experience the fragrance before committing to a full-sized bottle.
  
• Detailed Descriptions: We provide detailed descriptions on our website to help you understand the key notes and overall character of each perfume oil.

Exceptions: If your order arrives damaged, contains an incorrect fragrance, or is missing items, please contact our customer service team immediately. We will work with you to find a solution, which may include a replacement or refund.

We work incredibly hard to ensure our perfume oil dupes are as close to the originals as possible. While we aim for perfect consistency, there might be very subtle variations between batches. This can be due to natural ingredient fluctuations or very minor differences during the production process. However, the core fragrance you love should be beautifully recognizable.

We presently do not offer a customization service.

As with all personal care products, there is always a small risk of skin irritation or allergic reactions. Our perfume oils are highly concentrated and therefore, there may be a higher risk of skin irritation or allergic reactions compared to traditional alcohol-based perfumes. If you have sensitive skin or a history of skin allergies, we highly recommend performing a patch test on a small area of skin before applying the perfume oil all over. Wait for 24 hours to see if there is any reaction. If you have sensitive skin or a history of skin allergies, this step is especially important. If you experience any redness, itching, or other symptoms after the patch test or during use, discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention if necessary.

No, our perfume oils do not contain parabens or phthalates.

Some of our perfume oils contain alcohol for benefits like dilution, preservation, enhanced scent dispersal, and better blending of fragrance components, even though they are not sprayable. However, not all of our oils include alcohol. Always check the product description for specifics or feel free to request the ingredient list for any particular scent.

We understand the importance of safety during pregnancy. While our perfume oils are crafted in France under strict regulations, we cannot guarantee their safety for use during pregnancy. Here's what you need to know:

• Varied ingredients: Each of our scents has a unique blend of ingredients.
• Concentration: Our perfume oils are more concentrated than typical fragrances.
• Individual sensitivity: Reactions to fragrances can vary, especially during pregnancy.

Given these factors, we strongly recommend consulting your healthcare provider before using our perfume oils if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific health situation.

If you'd like to discuss a particular scent with your doctor, we're happy to provide a full ingredient list upon request. Simply contact us with the name of the scent you're interested in.

Your health and peace of mind are our top priorities. We're here to provide any information you need to make an informed decision.

Minor color variations between batches of brand new perfume oils are completely normal. Here are some potential reasons:

• Natural Ingredient variations: Ingredients derived from natural sources (flowers, resins, etc.) can have slight color variations based on harvest season, growing conditions, and other factors. These subtle differences may be reflected in the final oil.
  
• Batch-to-Batch Differences: Even with careful formulation, there might be very minor variations between production batches, which could slightly alter the color of the perfume oil.

It's important to note that this color change does not affect the fragrance itself. Your perfume oil should smell just like you remember!
