There is no universal number of hours that applies to every fragrance or every person. Longevity varies with the composition, skin type, temperature and application. We therefore prefer not to promise a fixed duration that would not reflect every wearing experience.

Spray on pulse points such as the neck and wrists, preferably on clean, moisturized skin. Let the fragrance dry naturally rather than rubbing the wrists together, which can change the way the opening develops.

Our fragrances are made in France. Their formulas are vegan and the fragrances are not tested on animals. Each fragrance page also presents its olfactory pyramid, key notes and character to help you understand the creation before trying or ordering it.
