Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Winter Scent?

Winter scent is one that is cozy and warm like amber, sandalwood, cinnamon, coffee, etc. Because of the cold weather, winter scents give you a warm, snuggly feeling.

What is the Difference Between Summer and Winter Fragrance?

The difference between summer and winter fragrances is performance. Summer fragrances perform better in high heat, they either last longer or project wider in warm temperatures. While winter fragrances show their true colors in very low temperatures.

Where do you Spray perfumes in the WInter?

In the winter, spray perfumes both on your skin and on your clothes. If you spray it only on your skin, and you wear all those layers, the perfume is likely to varnish. And if you spray only on your clothes, when you take your coat off, the perfume becomes weaker.

Do Perfumes Smell Different in the WInter?

Perfumes smell differently in the winter because the cold influences both the performance of the perfume, and our sense of smell. Sweet perfumes for example are not as sweet in extremely cold temperatures.

Do Perfumes Expire?

Perfumes do expire. Think of them as the opposite of wine. The older they get, the less viable they become.
