Frequently Asked Questions
Order
Samples
We fill most samples by hand and give a delivery time of up to 1 week. However, in most cases you will receive the fragrance samples faster.
Our test tubes usually have a filling quantity of 2ml. However, sample tubes of the manufacturers may differ.
We strive to offer you every fragrance from our portfolio as a fragrance sample on a permanent basis. In rare cases, the test bottles are empty, so we are unable to offer samples at short notice.

The difference lies in the proportion of fragrance oil. The higher the proportion of fragrance oil, the more concentrated the fragrance. A distinction is made between:
Extrait de Parfum (EdP) 20-25% fragrance oil
Eau de Parfum (EdP): 10-14% fragrance oil
Eau de Toilette (EdT): 6-9% fragrance oil
Eau de Colonge (EdC): 3-5% fragrance oil
You always perceive the top note of the perfume first. It is the shortest episode of the fragrance phases. It unfolds it for only a few minutes and passes into the heart note, which is perceived for up to a whole hour until it passes into the base note. It lasts for another few hours on the skin, and on clothing it even stays for several days.
The only difference is in the way you apply the perfume. With the spray bottle, the perfume is sprayed on with a pump sprayer. Perfume in a splash bottle or pour bottle is placed in the hand or fingers and then spread. The application is similar to that of an aftershave. In terms of content, both products are the same.
An aftershave balm is a milky, creamy lotion and is applied after shaving. The classic aftershave or aftershave lotion is also known as aftershave lotion and is usually clear and liquid.
Store your favourite fragrances in a cool, dry place. The wardrobe or chest of drawers in the bedroom is best. Keep your fragrances away from direct sunlight or air humidity. Both factors shorten the shelf life of a fragrance immensely.
