Frequently asked questions
What makes a good winter perfume?
A scent with warm notes: vanilla, amber, woods, spices or tonka. They feel cosy and last longer in the cold than fresh citrus.
Can I wear a winter perfume in summer too?
Yes, but go easy: heat makes heavy scents stronger. One spray on the wrist is often enough in summer.
How do you know the scent family?
We place well-known fragrance lines ourselves, only when the family is widely known. If we’re not sure, we leave a fragrance out.
