Every answer,
beautifully kept.
Concentration, care, shipping, returns — the quiet mechanics of the house, written down as carefully as the scents they describe.
First, the essentials.
The short version: premium oils, honest pricing, nothing tested on animals. The longer version, below.
Neither word quite fits. Each scent is our own composition, openly inspired by the world's most iconic fragrances and built with premium perfume oils. We are not affiliated with the designer brands we name — we admire the same accords, and interpret them our own way, in matte black glass.
Because nothing stands between the atelier and your door. No department-store margin, no license fee for a logo, no middlemen — only the oil, the glass, and the gold. You pay for what is in the bottle, not for the name printed on it.
Six to eight hours and beyond — 6–8h+ on most skin. Our fragrances are blended to extrait de parfum strength, so the scent settles in and stays: through a full workday, and into the evening after it.
Entirely. Every scent we make is 100% cruelty-free, vegan, and paraben-free. Nothing is tested on animals — not the oils, not the finished fragrance, not ever.
Concentration. An eau de toilette carries roughly 5–15% perfume oil; an eau de parfum, 15–20%. Extrait de parfum sits above both — the richest class of fragrance. More oil means the scent wears longer, sits closer, and needs fewer sprays.
Sillage is the trail a fragrance leaves as you move through a room. Diffusion is how far it radiates while you stand still. Extrait-strength oils give a controlled, deliberate aura — present in the room, never shouting across it.
Kept well, it keeps.
A fine fragrance is a living thing. Where you keep it, and how you wear it, decide how it repays you.
Somewhere cool, dry, and out of direct sunlight — a drawer or a cabinet rather than a windowsill. Heat and light slowly unpick a composition; kept properly, the scent stays true for years.
Beautifully. Begin with the deeper base scent — an oud, an amber — then finish with the brighter complement over it. The heavier fragrance anchors; the lighter one lifts. Two of ours, layered, become something only you wear.
To the pulse points — wrists, the base of the throat, behind the ears — where the warmth of the skin carries scent upward all day. And never rub your wrists together: friction crushes the top notes before they have a chance to open.
You have gone nose-blind — olfactory fatigue. Your nose retires from a scent long before the scent retires from you. Everyone around you still smells it clearly; trust the compliments, not your own nose.
Yes — fabric holds fragrance beautifully, often longer than skin. Mist from a distance so the scent settles as a veil, and spare silk and other delicate fabrics, which can mark.
Give the oils something to hold. Apply to moisturized skin — an unscented lotion first — on the pulse points, and let it dry untouched. Worn this way, you will comfortably reach the far end of 6–8h+.
Then — to your door.
From the atelier to your address, and — on the rare occasion a scent is not you — back again.
Orders are prepared within 1–3 business days. The moment yours leaves the atelier, a tracking number follows by email so you can watch it travel.
By your local carrier, to your mailbox or doorstep — whichever your address and the size of the parcel call for.
Two. The first confirms your order the moment it is placed. The second carries your tracking number once the parcel ships. Nothing else — unless you join the Private List.
We ship worldwide. International orders may attract customs duties or taxes on arrival; these are set by your country and are the recipient's responsibility. Within the U.S., shipping is free on orders over $50.
Please read it twice at checkout — we ship to the address exactly as given, and a parcel cannot be rerouted once it has left. If you spot an error, write to the concierge immediately and we will do what can still be done.
Thirty days — even if lightly used. Wear it, live with it, and if the scent is not you, send it back within 30 days of delivery for a refund. Return shipping is the customer's; everything else is ours.
Still need help?
If your question is not among these eighteen, the concierge will answer it personally. Write to us — or return to the collection and let the scents answer for themselves.
