Will My Fragrance Last All Day?
Thank you for your interest in our fragrances and body products! The longevity and strength of our fragrances can vary depending on a few factors, such as the specific scent, your skin type, and how much you apply. Our fragrances generally last 4 to 8 hours on the skin. However, if you have dry skin, the scent may not last as long as it would on someone with oily skin. To make your fragrance last longer, we recommend applying it to your pulse points (such as your wrists, neck, and behind your ears), as these areas generate more heat and can help the scent diffuse more effectively.
Fragrances are typically composed of top, middle, and bottom notes, the different layers of scent you smell over time. The top notes are the initial scents you smell when applying a fragrance. They're usually light and refreshing, and they evaporate quickly. Middle or heart notes emerge once the top notes have faded. These scents are the fragrance's core and are more floral, fruity, or spicy. Finally, bottom or base notes are the deep, long-lasting scents that linger on your skin for hours after applying the fragrance. The length of time each note lasts can vary depending on the fragrance and your skin chemistry.
We know you're excited to make the most of your fragrance experience, and we're here to help! Get ready to mix, match, and layer your way to a long-lasting, unique scent that's oh-so-you. Let's dive into our fun and easy tips to layer our products and make your fragrance last longer:
Freshen up: Start by using our Sugar Scrub in the shower to gently exfoliate and cleanse your skin. It's like giving your skin a fresh canvas for your fragrance masterpiece!
Get silky smooth: Apply our luscious Body Butter or nourishing Body Oil to damp skin after showering. Not only will you feel super soft, but you'll also create a fabulous base for your fragrance to cling to.
Play with layers: To amp up your fragrance's staying power, layer with one of our Body Mists, Argan Hair Gloss (also can be used as a body perfume), and/or The Perfume. Start with a spritz of the Body Mist, follow it up with the Argan Hair Gloss, and finish with a dash of the Perfume. Looking for a lighter touch? Swap the Perfume with our Roll-on Perfume.
Hit the hot spots: Apply your fragrance to pulse points like your wrists, behind your ears, and the base of your throat for a scent that radiates all day. And don't forget to mist the Argan Hair Gloss on your lovely locks for a subtle, head-turning aroma.

Why is My Body Butter Brown?
When you use fragrance oils with vanilla in body products, you may notice that the product turns brown over time. This is because vanilla contains natural compounds called phenols, which are antioxidants that can react with oxygen in the air.
When the phenols in vanilla come into contact with oxygen, they undergo a chemical reaction known as oxidation. This reaction causes the molecules to change and become darker in color, which is why your body products may turn brown.
Interestingly, this reaction is similar to what happens when you cut open an apple or avocado, and they turn brown when exposed to air. In the case of your body products, the oxidation of the vanilla is a natural process that does not harm the product's effectiveness.
In fact, many people find that brown adds a certain charm to their body products, giving them a warm and inviting appearance. It may not be ideal for the color of your products to change, but it's a natural and harmless occurrence that can add to the allure of your fragranced body products!
What is the Expiration Date of the Products?
We guarantee our products for one year from the date of purchase; however, the preservative in the base is good for 2 years. Our Alcohol-Based Body Mist and Argan Hair Perfume Gloss can last 3-5 years and improves with time. The alcohol acts as a preservative; it will have a longer shelf life.
What is the Difference Between The Perfume and the Body Mist Alcohol Base?

What is the difference Between Splash and Mist?
I apologize for the confusion. The body terms mist and splash are the same.
The Scent is Too Strong!
Most of my customers tend to like their scents to be on the STRONGER side; if you do not, please let me know, and I will tame it down.
The Difference Between the Roll-on and Body Oil!
Application:
Roll-on: Roll-on fragrances come in small bottles with a rollerball applicator. To apply, you simply roll the applicator over your pulse points, such as your wrists, neck, and behind your ears. The rollerball allows for precise application and ensures that you only use a small amount of fragrance.
Body oil: Body oils are typically applied by pouring a small amount of oil into your hand and then massaging it into your skin. You can apply body oil all over your body or focus on specific areas where you want the fragrance to be more pronounced. This method of application is more liberal compared to a roll-on.
Concentration:
Roll-on: Roll-on fragrances are usually more concentrated than body oils. They often contain a higher percentage of fragrance oil, which means they can have a stronger scent.
Body oil: Body oils generally have a lower fragrance concentration than roll-ons. They are often formulated with nourishing oils that moisturize and soften the skin, making the fragrance more subtle.
Longevity:
Roll-on: Due to their higher concentration, roll-on fragrances can have better longevity on the skin. The fragrance molecules are less likely to evaporate quickly, which means the scent may last longer.
Body oil: As body oils have a lower concentration of fragrance; they may not last as long on the skin. However, the oils in the formula can help lock in the scent and create a more intimate, personal fragrance experience.
Scent Distribution:
Roll-on: Roll-on fragrances are applied directly to specific pulse points, so the scent is primarily concentrated in those areas. This targeted application means that the fragrance will be more noticeable when someone is close to you, creating a more intimate and personal scent experience.
Body oil: When applied all over the body, body oils can provide a more uniform and widespread scent distribution. This means the fragrance will be more noticeable throughout your body, creating a more enveloping and immersive scent experience.
