FAQ

Most perfumes use alcohol to carry the scent. It evaporates quickly, so the fragrance fades fast and can dry out your skin. Some people find the fumes give them headaches. Our perfumes use nourishing oils instead, so the scent melts into your skin, stays close to you and lasts longer.

No. None of our perfumes contain alcohol. They’re blended with skin-friendly oils instead, which keep your skin soft while you wear them.

Most customers find one application lasts most of the day. Oil perfume sits closer to the skin than spray perfume, so people notice it when they’re near you rather than across the room. Longevity varies with skin type, and moisturised skin holds scent longest. You can top up any time.

Yes. All our products are 100% vegan and never tested on animals.

Every bottle is blended and hand-filled by our husband-and-wife team in East London.

Apply to your pulse points: wrists, neck, behind the ears and inner elbows. Don’t rub your wrists together; let it absorb naturally. For the longest wear, apply after a shower onto clean, moisturised skin.

Our perfumes are alcohol-free, which many people with sensitive skin find gentler. Like all fragrances, they contain fragrance components that can affect some people. If you have sensitive skin or allergies, do a small patch test first.

Our roll-ons are best applied straight to the skin. Give them a minute or two to absorb before getting dressed, and avoid rolling directly onto clothing. Our 50ml sprays can be sprayed onto clothes from a distance of about 20–30cm, which gives a fine, even mist. As with any oil-based fragrance, avoid delicate or light-coloured fabrics like silk, and if you’re unsure, test on a hidden area first.

Take our scent quiz. Answer a few quick questions and we’ll match you with your perfect fragrance. Prefer to try before you commit? Our Discovery Sets give you five 5ml roll-ons from one scent family, so you can find your favourite before buying a full bottle. Or just message us and we’ll recommend one.
