Faq

ragrance and perfume are both terms used to describe scented products that are applied to the body to enhance one's personal scent. However, there is a subtle difference between the two. Perfume typically refers to a higher concentration of fragrance oils, resulting in a longer-lasting and more intense scent. Fragrance, on the other hand, can refer to a wider range of scented products, including body sprays, lotions, and oils, which may have a lighter scent and shorter longevity. Ultimately, both fragrance and perfume serve the same purpose of adding a pleasant aroma to the body, but the intensity and longevity of the scent may vary.

 Perfume can last four to six hours (or even longer), depending on the ingredients – and how dry your skin is. From the moment you apply: the top notes, or ‘head’ notes last around 5-15 minutes before they disappear. The middle notes last from two to four hours and make up most of the fragrance. The base notes usually last from four to six hours.

 Yes! Never be afraid to play with perfume. The wonderful thing about fragrance is there is no right or wrong: if you like something, then it’s right

Body chemistry is unique. An individual's body chemistry will affect how different fragrance notes react to a person's skin. Skin has a natural smell and can be altered by things like hormonal changes, stress, mood, diet and medications.

 People with dry skin usually find their perfume or fragrance fading faster than those with oily skin because oily skin has more natural moisture to hold in the fragrance.

PH levels (amount of acidity in our skin) vary slightly from person to person. Our individual levels of PH will determine how each ingredient in a fragrance will react and last.

Fragrance holding time can also be affected by the concentration of the scent. Those with higher concentrations will retain their aroma much longer.

 spray/dab on your ‘hot spots’, or pulse points – behind the ears, temples, wrists, nape of neck, back of the knees, in the crease of your elbows, between your breasts, the small of your back, navel area… The blood flows close to the surface in these zones and heats the fragrance oils. But do be aware of one no-no: perfume industry ‘insiders’ never, ever rub their wrists together after applying fragrance, because it affects the oils. Spray, waft your wrists around – and be patient. 

 Always buy from a reputable retailer or a respected name in on-line retail as you must have confidence the stock is not old and is not counterfeit. Perfume has a life and must have been ‘looked after’ properly during storage.

A Nothing. They are all words used to describe the wonderful world of smell, and the scented liquids (or balms) we apply to our bodies. Fragrance is in more common usage in the US, and throughout the perfume industry itself. Perfume comes from the Latin ‘per fumum’ which literally means through smoke. It originates from ancient times when people burned woods, resins and flowers as offerings to their God.
