Troubleshooting

Fragrance fades quickly

Ensure application on hydrated skin (moisturizer can help). Apply to pulse points. Reapply if necessary, as Eau de Parfum longevity varies with body chemistry.

Scent profile seems different than expected

Fragrance develops over time; allow it to settle on the skin for at least 15-30 minutes after application. Store the perfume correctly to maintain its original composition.

Skin irritation after application

Discontinue use. Wash the affected area with mild soap and water. Consider performing a patch test with other fragrances or consulting a dermatologist.

Bottle cap is difficult to remove/replace

Ensure the cap is aligned correctly before attempting to remove or replace it. If sticking occurs, gently twist while pulling.
