How to use
Frequently Asked Questions
How should I apply perfume oil?
Your perfume is designed to be applied directly and precisely using the roll-on applicator. Apply a small amount to pulse points such as the wrists, neck or behind the ears. Because there is no need to spray a cloud of fragrance, it is easy to control exactly where and how much you apply, making perfume oil convenient for work, travelling, the gym or topping up during the day.
How much perfume oil should I apply?
Start with a small amount of your perfume. Roll a little onto one or two pulse points, allow the fragrance to settle and add more if you prefer. Perfume oil sits closer to the body than an alcohol-based spray, so the aim is not necessarily to fill the room. It creates a more personal scent bubble that becomes noticeable as you move and people come closer.
How is perfume oil different from a perfume spray?
Your perfume is a concentrated, alcohol-free perfume oil designed for precise roll-on application. Perfume oil sits closer to the skin and evaporates more slowly, while Arabian perfumes use perfumer's alcohol to disperse fragrance into the surrounding air. Neither format is automatically better; they simply provide different ways to enjoy fragrance.
Can I layer perfume oil with a perfume spray?
Yes. Your perfume can be worn on its own or layered with a fragrance spray, or another oil if you enjoy combining formats to create a bespoke scent profile. Apply the perfume oil precisely to pulse points and use the spray separately. This combines the closer-wearing character of perfume oil with the wider fragrance dispersion of a spray, whether you choose a matching fragrance or another scent you enjoy.
How should I store perfume oil?
Keep your perfume somewhere cool, dry and away from direct sunlight or excessive heat. A drawer, cupboard or fragrance cabinet is ideal. Avoid regularly leaving perfume oil in hot cars, on sunny windowsills or close to radiators. Keep the cap secure to protect the oil from unnecessary heat and light between uses.
