We're here to helpFRAGRANCES
We formulate everything in our Buckinghamshire studio.
The bulk fragrance is compounded in Grasse, at Accords & Parfums.
We combine and bottle everything by hand in our studio.
Of course! We are members of IFRA, and comply with the latest guidance and cosmetic regulations to EU standards.
We use a combination of both natural and synthetic ingredients, aiming to use sustainable and renewable materials wherever possible. We love naturals for the complexity and beauty they offer, and synthetics for the structure and consistency. All are used safely and responsibly.
All of our fragrances are vegan with the exception of:
Eau de Boujee: Gilded (contains beeswax absolute)
Demo Accords: Male Gaze Repellent and Chemical Nature (contains ambergris tincture)
None of our products are tested on animals.
Our stability tests determine a period of 12M after opening.
However, perfume does not expire. Over time, the materials oxidise and the odour may change. You will notice fragrances built around citrus materials changing after 2 years, no matter how well you store your fragrance.
Ideally, out of direct sunlight and away from any fluctuating temperatures. Stored at room temperature or chilled, fragrance lasts a lot longer. For maximum longevity, store your fragrance in its box, and keep it in a cool, dark place.
