F.A.Q.

The traditional enemies of perfume are heat, air and light, We recommend that you always close your bottle tightly and keep it in a cool and dark place if possible. Exposing your perfume to heat and humidity can change the fragrance and affect the properties of its ingredients, such as oils. The bathroom is not the best place to keep your perfumes.
The refrigerator or a cupboard that is neither too dark nor too hot is the ideal location. Don't leave the lid open or don't open the lid too often. Exposing the perfume to the air can cause oxidation and spoil the fragrance.

Generally, perfumes become darker in color as time passes. A perfume can be properly preserved for even 2 to 3 years.

Keep in mind that fragrances containing citrus are more likely to spoil because they contain high levels of citrus oils.
More oriental scents last longer because they contain mostly woody notes, amber and leather, but their sweet notes, such as vanilla, can cause discoloration.

First of all, this is perfectly normal and is due to the fact that you are used to the fragrance. As a result, you can no longer perceive it on you as you used to. But don't worry, other people will still be able to smell your perfume.
A phenomenon called olfactory adaptation, or burnt nose syndrome, is at work. Your body associates it with your body, so you are unable to smell it. Just as we don't perceive the smell of a room we spend a lot of time in, we don't perceive the smell of our perfume.

There is a simple way to enhance your fragrance if you wish: use one or two complementary products from your fragrance range, such as a body cream or lotion. These leave a thin fragrance film on your skin, so you can feel your scent all day long.
You can use Hair Mist with your perfume for extra intensity. Our hair because it is "dead" cubes diffuses the fragrance with more intensity.
Of course you can simply enhance it with extra essences. We usually recommend between 1ml and 3ml (so it doesn't get too "oily" in texture and stain), but you can choose more than 3ml.

Experts also suggest changing scents often, not sticking to just one, so that your sense of smell doesn't get used to a particular scent but is constantly... tested with others.
Alternate the perfumes you wear according to the seasons of the year. For example, in summer something cooler, more floral, in winter something heavier.
Or depending on the time of day, for the morning something lighter, for the evening something more sophisticated.

Specialized perfumes appeared in the eighties. The 1980s: the beginning of niche perfumery

The term "niche fragrance" emerged somewhere in the 1980s. It was a reaction of smaller, independent fragrance houses to big, commercial brands. Perfumes were big business, with expensive bottles and ad campaigns starring movie stars and supermodels. Packaging and marketing had become more important than the perfume itself. Each fragrance was thoroughly tested by consumer panels before it was released. The result: fragrances that "everyone" liked and ultimately no one touched.

Perfumers and creative minds, often coming from one of the big brands, wanted to get back to the essence of perfume: handmade, original creations made with noble ingredients. They wanted to put freedom and creativity back in the forefront and no longer be dictated by market studies and profit margins. Their perfumes were made in small quantities and no longer aimed to satisfy as many people as possible. The pioneers of the era were brands such as L'Artisan Parfumeur, Annick Goutal, Frédéric Malle and Serge Lutens.

The main differences between fragrance oils and spray perfumes for a better understanding of fragrance oils: 

Oils are generally much stronger, as they are the purest form of perfume. 

Spray oils are usually diluted with alcohol at various levels of concentration. Oils can last up to 24 hours, while sprays can last from 2 to 8 hours, depending on the level of fragrance oil present in them. 

Fragrance oils do not dissolve easily from your skin. They are activated by the heat of your skin and radiate outward as your skin heats up. This is why they are applied at the pulse point; the warmer the skin, the more you smell the fragrance. Fragrance oils don't start off strong because they rely on the heat of your skin and take time to activate. 

Perfume sprays, on the other hand, start strong as they mix with the air and evaporate within a few hours. When perfume spray combines with oxygen in the air, it dissolves due to the nature of alcohol. 

Therefore essence fragrance oils in roll on last longer and are more intense but mostly for you and those who will be very close to you. While spray on fragrances diffuse into the air and therefore evaporate more easily, but make your presence felt everywhere!
