Performance

Longevity and sillage may vary based on weather, application style and personal skin type. For optimal performance, apply to clean, moisturised skin on pulse points such as the neck, wrists or inner elbows, and allow the perfume to settle before exposure to strong heat or humidity.

FAQ's
Product FAQs
How accurate are your “designer-inspired” scents?
Our products are fragrance-infused with designer-inspired blends made to match the original scent profile as closely as possible. Expect a familiar opening, recognizable heart notes, and a similar dry-down, crafted for everyday wear and layering.
Tip: If you already know the original, start with the same style family (fresh, gourmand, woody, floral) for the best match.
Are your perfumes oil-based, and do they last long?
Yes. Our perfumes are an extrait-style, oil-rich formula designed for long wear. The scent is carried in a premium base that helps it project smoothly and last for hours on skin and clothing.
Longevity varies by fragrance family, skin chemistry, and climate, but the formula is built for extended wear.
How do I make my scent last even longer?
Layering is the fastest way to boost performance:
- Cleanse with the matching body wash or hand wash
- Moisturise with the matching lotion (hydrated skin holds scent better)
- Finish with your perfume on pulse points
For your space, add Home & Linen Mist, Reed Diffusers, or Car Diffusers to keep the same signature aroma throughout your day.

Is this product suitable for daily use?
Yes. Our fragranced everyday essentials are designed to be used regularly while keeping the scent refined and wearable. If you have sensitive skin, we recommend a small patch test first.
Can I use the same scent across multiple products?
Absolutely. Scentemy is built for “signature scent” living across 18 fragrance-infused categories—from perfumes and lotions to home and car fragrance—so your favourite designer-inspired scent can follow you everywhere.
What if I’m unsure which scent to choose?
If you know the original perfume name you love, choose the matching inspired option. If you only know the vibe, use the notes/accords on the page (fresh, musky, woody, gourmand, floral) to guide your pick.
Is this product authentic designer perfume?
No. This is a designer-inspired fragrance product made to capture the scent profile you love, at a more accessible price point, while maintaining a premium feel.
Is this safe to gift?
