How it unfolds

The notes, layer by layer

The first minutes, the heart from an hour on and the base that stays on skin. Every perfume takes its own path.

On dry skin the base notes come through sooner. That is not a fault, it is chemistry.

  1. Top notes

    Bergamot, pink pepper, mandarin

    the first 15 minutes
  2. Heart notes

    Jasmine, rose, iris

    from 30 minutes to 3 hours
  3. Base notes

    Cedarwood, vanilla, musk

    from 3 hours on
Before the bottle

Try first, buy after

A perfume is chosen on skin, not on a screen. The samples come from the very bottle we sell from.

Sample 2 ml ≈ 20 sprays Enough to wear for two days.
Pocket decant 10 ml ≈ 100 sprays Fits a bag, lasts a month.
Bottle 50 ml ≈ 500 sprays Sealed, with its box.

The cost of the set comes off the first bottle ordered, within the same month.

How to make it last

Nothing complicated: moisturised skin holds perfume, heat ruins it.

Keep the bottle in its box, in the dark. The bathroom is the worst place in the house for perfume.

  • On moisturised skin Put on unscented cream first; the perfume grips and lasts longer.
  • Do not rub your wrists Rubbing breaks the top notes and shortens the perfume.
  • Keep it in the box Light and heat change the smell within months.
