Performance
This luxury Extrait de Parfum is infused at a robust 40 percent fragrance strength, offering strong projection and the potential to last up to 24 hours on skin and fabrics, depending on your skin type and environmental conditions. Longevity and projection may vary slightly with skin chemistry, weather and application style. For optimal performance, apply to clean, moisturised skin at pulse points such as the neck, wrists or inner elbows, and allow the perfume to settle before exposure to strong heat or humidity.

Storage
Store your perfume in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use to preserve the fragrance integrity. Avoid storing perfumes in bathrooms or near windows, as temperature fluctuations and light exposure can alter the scent over time.

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.
