Some fragrances seem to last longer, please explain.

Fragrance holding time will be generally shorter if you have dry skin. If you have oily skin natural moisture holds in the fragrance. PH levels, which is the acidity level in our skin also varies slightly for everyone. The PH level in turn will determine how each fragrance formula will react to our skin.


I can make scents last longer on by body, is that true?

There are few things you can do to make the scent last longer. Use the fragrance bath gel, then the moisturizer or powder, and then the Eau de Toilette, Eau de Parfum or Eau de Cologne, will usually offer a longer lasting result. Additionally, apply your fragrance toward lower part of your body, on your neck and behind your ears. For a great lasting effect, a light spray on your hair can last all day.


Is splash better than spray?

There is no real difference. Although a spray bottle has a better seal than the splash, may actually have a longer shelf life. 


Should I wear Cologne or after shave?

The aroma from Colognes will generally far outlast than that of scents from after shaves. 


Why does fragrance contain alcohol?

Alcohol makes the fragrance resonate from your skin. Without alcohol, the scent will not project to the air for the goal of pleasing other people.


What is shower gel?

Shower gel is very much like a soap, but in different form. It helps your fragrance last much longer.


What is the best way to store by fragrances?

Please remember to keep your fragrance away from the window, or heat so that the ingredients are not altered. The best place it to store the fragrance is in the original box and in a cool dry area.


Eau de Toilette, Eau de Parfum, Perfume, and Eau de Cologne, what do they represent?

The concentration of oils in the fragrance is the key in distinguishing the different names. The oils in the fragrances are called "juice." The highest concentration of "juice" is in parfum commonly known as perfume. Then Eau de Parfum, then Eau de Toilette, and finally Eau de Cologne. After Shave has the least amount of oils. The higher the concentration of "juice" the longer fragrance lasts.
