FAQ's

Changing fragrances with the seasons is unnecessary, but it can be a fun and exciting way to switch up your scent. Different scents evoke different feelings due to their ingredients; for instance, floral scents may feel more appropriate in warmer weather, while rich, spicy fragrances feel more suitable in cooler temperatures. A great way to experiment with different scents is to purchase sample sizes or perfume sets.

The main difference between perfume and fragrance is the oil concentration in each product. Perfumes have a higher concentration, usually 15 to 30%, whereas fragrances have a lower oil concentration of around 8-15%. 

Perfumes are generally more potent and will last longer than fragrances—and perfumes typically cost more than fragrances too. Lastly, fragrance refers to a single scent, whereas perfume can have multiple scents blended.

No, perfume does not change color. Perfume is an alcohol-based product, so it typically won't change its hue. Therefore, if you notice a color change, it is most likely because of a reaction between the perfume and other elements, such as air or sunlight. If this happens, it is best to discard the product as it may have gone off.

Yes, perfume can freeze if stored in temperatures lower than 20 degrees Fahrenheit because most fragrances are made of pure alcohol; when frozen, the molecules become clogged and may change consistency. Store it away from windows or near cold drafts to avoid damage to your perfume.

Keep your perfume away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when storing it. It is essential to store it in a cool, dry place that is not too humid or damp.

 It should also be stored away from any heat sources—including heating vents, radiators, and ovens. Additionally, you want to ensure the lid is firmly closed and keep the bottle away from any pungent odors to ensure your perfume's scent stays fresh and authentic.

Applying it in the right places is essential to make your fragrance last longer. Generally speaking, you should apply perfume directly onto the pulse points - such as behind the ears, on the wrists, and inside of the elbows. 

Using a light moisturizer before spraying can help keep your skin hydrated and help trap moisture so that it can hold onto the scent for longer. Additionally, touching up throughout the day can help make your fragrance last even longer.

Like any other thing, perfumes are not meant to last forever. Storing them properly is one way to ensure they last until the expiry date. That way, you can enjoy your perfume before it expires. 

Keep it away from heat and light, or it can become musty or sour. You can store your bottle in a dark cupboard or inside a drawer, ideally inside its box. Also, remember that citrussy and lighter scents tend to deteriorate faster when compared to florals.

There are so-called "hot spots" when applying your perfume. The rule of thumb is to use your perfume on these spots. 

Apply your perfume to the following spots:

• The temples 
• Wrists 
• Behind your ears 
• The nape of your neck 
• The crease of your elbows
• The small of your back 
• The back of your knees 

Women, in particular, can also apply perfume between their breasts or at the navel area if they wish. 

We recommend buying your scents in-store first before you buy them online. That way, you know if the product works and smells good on you. 

When buying online, it is best to consult our sales representatives. We can give you the information you need if you let us know what you are looking for.

Because it helps us feel good about ourselves and others. Recent psychological tests show that people who use fragrance regularly have a more positive attitude towards socialising and may be more socially skilled than those who seldom or never wear it. It was generally found that people who believe that others think they smell good have more confidence. More fun, too?

Because our sense of smell is so emotional, we assume that fragrances are confusing, a jumble of different perfumes with no rhyme or reason. It’s not true. When you classify the fragrances you have worn, you’ll probably find that they fall mostly into just two or three families. Once you know the families you especially like, the Fragrance Manual will show you which other fragrances fall into the same family.
