Frequently Asked Questions

What is eau de parfum?

Perfumes are designated by their concentration of fragrance oils. Eau de parfum has the second highest concentration of fragrance oils, lower than perfumes but greater than an eau de toilette. Eau de parfums, the most common type of perfume, generally has a fragrance concentration of between 15% and 20%. Generally, the higher the concentration, the stronger and longer lasting the fragrance. Our solid eau de parfums are between 18% and 20% and will last for four to five hours on a single application.

What makes your fragrances natural?

Our fragrances are 100% natural. They’re blended with plant-based ingredients and sourced from locally-owned farms or wild-crafted as much as possible and as the seasons allow. We don’t use any synthetics or chemicals.

What is the best way to store my eau de parfum?

As with all botanically-based fragrances, it is best to store your perfume away from heat and light.

How do I wear eau de parfum?

Use the atomizer to lightly spray your neck, décolletage and arms. It is best to use before dressing, as the natural materials could stain your clothing if sprayed directly.

For solid eau de parfum, apply it directly to the skin and brush over it gently to help it spread. You can also layer scents to create a unique profile that complements your style and mood.

Why solid perfumes?

We thought it was time for a change. Our customers appreciate having something that can fit in a handbag, pocket or travel bag because it fits their on-the-go lifestyles. But they also appreciate the attention to detail and artwork on the packaging because it looks equally impressive at home.

How are your solid perfumes made?

By our own hands. First, we blend more than twenty different fragrances and set them aside so they come together through an aging process. Then we create the base by melting waxes. Lastly, we combine the fragrance blend with the waxes to create the solid eau de parfums.

How long will your solid perfumes last?

Each application will last around four to five hours. We recommend applying at least twice a day, not only to take the time out for yourself but also to reinvigorate the scent. Many of our buyers will switch scents throughout the day or apply different scents in layers as their moods desire. Each solid eau de parfum tube will last between four to six weeks, depending on how often it’s applied.

What if I have allergies?

As with all natural fragrances, it is best to test a small amount of our eau de parfum on your skin before applying more generously. Some people could have an allergic reaction to certain essential oils used in natural fragrances.

When will my order ship?

Every order is important to us. We ship orders Monday-Saturday and want you to enjoy your order as quickly as possible. Orders typically ship out the day they're placed and it’s not unusual for us to get them out within a few hours.

Due to regulations pertaining to the alcohol content of liquid perfumes, we can only ship using ground shipping methods. This typically takes 4-6 business days.

We ship throughout the contiguous USA only.
