Troubleshooting

Fragrance does not last long

Ensure skin is moisturized before application. Apply to pulse points (wrists, neck) which are warmer and help diffuse the scent. Fragrance longevity can also vary based on individual skin chemistry and environmental factors.

Scent smells different than expected

Fragrances can smell differently on skin than from the bottle due to individual body chemistry. Allow the fragrance to dry down fully on your skin (10-15 minutes) to experience its true scent profile. Environmental factors like temperature and humidity can also affect scent perception.

Bottle cap is difficult to remove/secure

Ensure the cap is aligned correctly before attempting to remove or replace it. Do not force the cap; if it feels stuck, try gently twisting it. For the travel spray, ensure it clicks into place securely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This product is an Eau de Parfum, designed for direct application to the skin. There is no 'setup' required beyond personal use. It is compatible with all skin types as a fragrance, however, as with any perfume, discontinue use if irritation occurs.

Care Instructions:

  • Storage: Store the fragrance in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its scent profile.
  • Application: Spray onto pulse points such as the neck and wrists for optimal scent diffusion. Avoid spraying directly onto clothing, as it may cause staining.
  • Longevity: For best results, apply after moisturizing your skin, as hydrated skin helps to hold fragrance longer.
  • Travel Spray: Ensure the cap is securely closed after each use to prevent leakage.
