Fragrance Concentrations

The concentration determines how long a fragrance lasts on skin:

• Eau de Toilette (EDT): 5-15% fragrance oil. Lasts 3-5 hours. Lighter projection, suitable for daytime and warm weather.
• Eau de Parfum (EDP): 15-20% fragrance oil. Lasts 6-8 hours. Balanced projection, versatile for any occasion.
• Extrait de Parfum: 20-40% fragrance oil. Lasts 8-12+ hours. Rich and long-lasting, a small amount goes a long way.

Choosing the Right Size

• First-time buyers: Start with 50ml to test if the fragrance suits you
• Signature scent: 100ml offers the best value for a fragrance you wear regularly
• Collection builders: 30ml or 50ml sizes allow you to build variety
• Gift giving: 50ml or 100ml sizes are the most popular gift choices

Storage Tips

Proper storage extends the life of your fragrance:

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
• Keep the cap on when not in use to prevent evaporation
• Avoid storing in the bathroom — humidity and temperature changes can degrade the fragrance
• Do not shake the bottle — this introduces air which can alter the composition

Application Guide

• Apply to pulse points: wrists, neck, behind ears, inner elbows
• Spray from 15-20cm distance for even distribution
• Do not rub wrists together — this breaks down the fragrance molecules
• Apply to moisturized skin for longer-lasting scent
